And this is part of the reason why I don't come here anymore. I am glad diehard attempted to give me a genuine response though.

You seem incredibly uncertain, unprofessional and incredibly lacking charisma in your video. Tell me why I should donate anything when you yourself don't even feel like I should donate. Not only that, why should I donate if I don't even know your technical skills, writing ability and acting potential. Now, I'm on my desktop. Its easier giving shorter responses on mobile, longer ones tend to be annoying. Anyway, as far as the uncertainty of myself, well I am a bit uncertain, not at my ability entirely, I believe in myself just fine, but I've never done anything like asking people for a large lump sum of money. Also with any creative endeavor there's always a bit it uncertainty surrounding it. I mean, I'm not a negative person typically, but you alwys have that "what-if" tugging at you. As far as the "unprofessional" nature of the video, I was just being honest with my asking in the video. Even the Kickstarter guidelines just recommend 'being yourself' and I was pretty much doing that. Plus, I was trying to keep the video under five minutes, which perhaps is why it felt a bit rushed. I'm not even satisfied with the video much myself, but I figured as a placeholder it would be fine and I showed it to others and tehy said it was fine. And of course you don't know of my technical skills, writing ability or acting potential. I wish I had proof to show you, but the only online proof is early stuff that I am not proud of. As I mentioned in the video, three out of four short films I've been involved with I have not even seen! Why? Because I know I'm bad at them, and on top of that the director is billy-goating doo doo and the writing is doo doo(I had nothing to do with it). The only short film I can tolerate is the first one I worked on with that particular group and while my acting is absolutely terrible(along with the writing and directing) I do like the characters and the story for the most part. But now I feel like I'm repeating myself because I'm pretty sure I said this in the video or at least in the project page text. I mean, if you want to see those damn video so bad, I can billy-goating find them, or try to and link you to them. But I don't see how that will give you faith in my acting ability at all. No, stop that. There is no room for modest or pessimism of any kind for the type of thing you are trying to do. You're going to make a film, you're trying to tell me why I should give you money, not "hey I don't like asking for money blah blah blah". You're already stating this fact by making a kickstarter of all things, but the fact that you were quite redundant in your video did not make me really want to donate. Why? Because it doesn't show much structure and seems sloppily put together. What is stopping me from believing that the film isn't going to be the same thing, just a lazy schlock short film thrown together with reckless abandon? I apologize for being aggressive with my response, but you want my money and I want to be satisfied with the results. If I didn't invest into something that seems promising, there is no telling what the final product will turn out to be. Can you understand how the way you appear can turn other potential donaters away from the kickstarter?

Yeah I know he is. The video was rushed. For one I feel almost like I'm talking to myself, which is quite annoying, which seems to bring on near-incessant rambling. I personally feel weird asking for any amount of money, especially without anyone seeing anything I've worked on.
But Then again, people have pledged 70k+ to the potato salad guy.
