Seed&Spark Campaign Update — 3 Days Left

With 3 days left in the Seed&Spark campaign for Reel Alberta, I want to thank everyone who has supported this project and share a clear update as we enter the final stretch.

This campaign now comes down to a simple outcome: Reel Alberta either continues in current production or pauses so the project can be restructured and relaunched.

Our goal remains $10,000—the funding needed to keep interviews, travel, and on-the-ground production moving forward without interruption. We are actively filming right now, capturing stories from the crews, creators, and community members who helped build Alberta’s film industry and whose voices deserve to be preserved.

Like many independent productions, we’ve experienced both momentum and setbacks during this campaign. A late pledge withdrawal was difficult, but it also clarified something important: this film will move forward only with support that’s genuine, aligned, and sustainable.

If you’ve already backed Reel Alberta, thank you. Your belief in this project has made it possible to reach this stage, and it genuinely matters in these final days.

If you’re considering backing the campaign or increasing your pledge, these last 3 days are when your support has the greatest impact. And if contributing isn’t possible, sharing the campaign helps more than you might expect as we approach the finish line.

No matter the outcome, this project will move forward—either through continued production now or through a focused relaunch built on everything learned so far.

Thank you for standing with this project and for supporting Alberta film.
