Meet Our New Backers!

We had a great day today in our campaign for Princeton Holt's 3rd feature film The Butterfly Chasers. We had 3 backers in one day - sometimes it happens that way in the crazy world of crowd-funding!

We have to first back up and show some MAJOR love to our fantastic 4th backer Cliff Moskowitz, our largest backer to date! Cliff lives in NYC and is a principle at Tailwind Capital.

Cliff has been with Tailwind since 2007. A former consultant at Bain & Company and private equity professional at Saunders Karp & Megrue, Cliff began his private equity career at The Beacon Group. He is a graduate of Princeton University, and the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.

Today, our 1st backer was accomplished music producer Cy Melchor from Los Angeles. Also a composer for film and TV, he has won both a CLIO and AICP for his composing work on Coca-Cola's "Parade" commercial. His production includes work with acts like Massive Attack, Blood of Abraham and Bel Biv Devoe. He recently finished production on Naama Kates' debut record "The Unexamined Life" which is receiving good reviews. We are also really lucky to be having Melchor composing the score for Mr. Holt's 2nd feature, The 10 Commandments of Chloe. Check out Cy's cool website including his full discography HERE.

Our 2nd backer today was Roxanne Julien, a Trinidad native now working at the New York Stock Exchange in NYC. Roxanne pledged our 2nd highest amount so far, and we thank her for her generosity and belief in our project!



Our 3rd backer today was actress Eleanor Wilson from Australia. Eleanor is now working in NYC and loving it! Wilson can be seen playing a rebellious pastor’s daughter in The Sleeping Bear, a troubled mental medium in Episode 50 and a prissy but well-meaning girlfriend in The Confabulators.

The Butterfly Chasers lead actress Meissa Hampton calls Eleanor, "a beautiful actress and individual. Talented and dedicated to her craft and her character creation. She clearly approaches her work humbly and honestly. I'm lucky to have worked with her and honored to know her."

Here is a really cool interview with Eleanor here, and make sure to hire her by visiting her website to see some clips of her doing really great work!

Thank you to these highly accomplished, wonderful and generous backers. And to our future backers, we love you in advance!
