Are you a fan of Garden State?
The follow-up may be coming but you may have to pay to be a part of it.
After Veronica Mars raised more than $5 million on Kickstarter trying to bring their show from the small screen to the big screen, Zach Braff is now reaching out to the public to help finance his next feature.
“I promise I’ll put everything I have into it, and I won’t let you down,” Braff, 38, says in a funny pitch video (below) on Kickstarter with cameos by Jim Parsons, Donald Faison and Chris Hardwick.
The film, called Wish I Was Here, is a dramatic comedy co-written by the Scrubsstar and his brother, Adam, serving as a thematic sequel to his critically lauded 2004 debut Garden State.
“Wish I Was Here” is the story of Aidan Bloom (played by me), a struggling actor, father and husband, who at 35 is still trying to find his identity; a purpose for his life. He and his wife are barely getting by financially and Aidan passes his time by fantasizing about being the great futuristic Space-Knight he’d always dreamed he’d be as a little kid.
When his ailing father can no longer afford to pay for private school for his two kids (ages 5 and 12) and the only available public school is on its last legs, Aidan reluctantly agrees to attempt to home-school them.
The result is some funny chaos, until Aidan decides to scrap the traditional academic curriculum and come up with his own. Through teaching them about life his way, Aidan gradually discovers some of the parts of himself he couldn’t find.
