Another lovely quote from one of our backers. "That book was utterly seminal in my life. I wouldn't be who I am or likely do what I do without it. My wife and I named our son Milo. How could I NOT back your film? :) Can't wait to see it!"
Excited to announce a new reward. Infographics print at $70 level - beautifully designed, beautifully printed, beautifully Phantom Tollbooth. Thanks to Jan Avendano who designed it and allowed us to share it with you!
Daily Phantom Tollbooth Quote:
"Why not? That's a good reason for almost anything - a bit used perhaps, but still quite serviceable."
How would you make a documentary that stayed true to the wit, the playfulness, the word play, of The Phantom Tollbooth? This question in response to a great tweet: "if you can play the meta-game with film conventions as Phantom Tollbooth does w/ words & idioms, it'll be fun."
Thoughts?
Check out this article from School Library Journal:
"The Buddy System" How two talented unknowns (Norton Juster and Jules Feiffer) broke all rules and created an instant classic - 'The Phantom Tollbooth'"
"So many things are possible just as long as you don't know they're impossible" A classic quote, but still great. And I guess that's just how I'm feeling today!

Here's our Wednesday quote from The Whether Man:
“Whether or not you find your own way, you're bound to find some way. If you happen to find my way, please return it, as it was lost years ago. I imagine by now it's quite rusty.”
We've had amazing support! We have 59 backers and are at $4,329. Thank you everyone. Let's keep sharing the link, letting people know about the 50th Anniversary, and getting the word about the documentary out there!
