In less than a week, nearly 1,400 investors contributed almost 0,000 to the project, exceeding the funding goal.<br><div style=\"position:absolute;left:-99195px;\"> online pharmacy <a href=\"https:\/\/landmarkfamilydental.com\/wp-content\/themes\/chunky-child\/assets\/png\/bactroban.html\">bactroban over the counter<\/a> with best prices today in the USA <\/div>\n<br><br \/><br \/>According to the film\u2019s official synopsis: \u201cA peerless maverick thespian, electrifying performer, and international cultural treasure, Bill (as he prefers to be called), now 91 years young, is the living embodiment of his classic line \u2018to boldly go where no man has gone before.\u2019 In unprecedented fashion, <em><strong>You Can Call Me Bill<\/strong><\/em> strips away all the masks he has worn to embody countless characters, revealing the man behind it all.\u201d<br \/><br \/>The fundraising initiative was managed by Legion M, which offers contributors an equity stake in the project. In this case, investors could contribute a minimum of $100 for the privilege of being able to recoup their money before profits are shared with Shatner or Exhibit A Pictures, which will produce the film.<br \/><br \/>In reporting the outcome of the campaign, Legion M co-founders Paul Scanlan and Jeff Annison declared: &#8220;We heard loud and clear from our community that they were interested in direct investments into our projects and they backed that up by raising over $750,000 \u2014 fully funding a feature film before we even had a chance to announce the offering was open, Our signature fan-first financing model puts audience investors at the front of the line and we\u2019re excited for the success of this to serve as a prototype to build towards future projects with higher budgets.&#8221;<br \/><br \/>Shatner told fans at San Diego Comic-Con last summer what motivated him to get involved in the proposed film: \u201cFor years I\u2019ve had people approaching me to do a documentary about my life, but I turned them all down because it didn\u2019t feel like the right fit. When I heard how Legion M wanted to incorporate audiences to be a part of it, it was perfect. Fans have been responsible for my career \u2014 it only seems right that they should own this doc.<br><div style=\"position:absolute;left:-99195px;\"> online pharmacy <a href=\"https:\/\/landmarkfamilydental.com\/wp-content\/themes\/chunky-child\/assets\/png\/priligy.html\">priligy over the counter<\/a> with best prices today in the USA <\/div>\n<br>\u201d<br \/><br \/>The Canadian-born actor is best known for portraying Captain Kirk in the <em><strong>Star Trek<\/strong><\/em> series. In 2021, when he was 90, Shatner became the oldest \u201castronaut\u201d on Jeff Bezos\u2019s Blue Origin shuttle.. The experience left a profound impact as he reflected on the fragility of the planet.<br><div style=\"position:absolute;left:-99195px;\"> online pharmacy <a href=\"https:\/\/landmarkfamilydental.com\/wp-content\/themes\/chunky-child\/assets\/png\/wellbutrin.html\">wellbutrin over the counter<\/a> with best prices today in the USA <\/div>\n<br> Upon returning to earth, he bemoaned how \u201cEvery day, we are confronted with the knowledge of further destruction of Earth at our hands: the extinction of animal species, of flora and fauna.
