Animator Simon Cottee is calling Canberra home to request your help to make his next animated film:
Hiya riotact!
My name is Simon Cottee and I’m a short film maker and animator. I grew up in Canberra and 4 years ago moved to Brisbane to study animation. Though I still consider Canberra home as all my family are there. I’ve just started a kickstarter campaign for my 2nd short film called the duck.
You can check it here:

It would be amazing if you could share it with whoever. I’m trying to raise a chunk of cash to make this thing and I know it’s going to be amazing. Also I’m currently at the Cannes film festival so how’s about that!
Cheers guys
Simon Cottee

How does Kickstarter work- I wanted to use it, but have stayed away because it says:
To be eligible to start a Kickstarter project, you need to satisfy the requirements of Amazon Payments:
You are 18 years of age or older.
You are a permanent US resident with a Social Security Number (or EIN).
You have a US address, US bank account, and US state-issued ID (driver’s license).
You have a major US credit or debit card.
I have none of these – is Simon?
I’ve never had a problem paying with a credit card.
