UltimateBeat - UB documentary Released 10/22! - Page 5 - Poker News

This is a very good point. People cheating and getting away with it is ruining poker's public image. If cheaters got murdered a bit more, people would start seeing poker as a legitimate endeavor.

Until we get to that point, our documentary should let in some sunlight.

Ike just dropped a hundo on us.

I have been out of town for awhile. Just wanted to thank ElevenGrover for all his hard work on the project as well as thank all those who have donated.

I know there is more work that needs to be done, and it is EG who is doing all the work at this point. I am glad I could help when I could. Looking forward to seeing the finished project!

There are only 11 days left to contribute to this.

It would be great if all winning players on 2+2 would chip in for this as it is important that this story gets told.

It is easy to contribute - just go to the OP and click the Kickstarter banner.

If the funding target isn't met, ElevenGrover gets NOTHING and over $3200 has already been pledged. Do what you can to help make sure ElevenGrover doesn't walk away empty handed.

It would be awesome if this thread could be stickied for the last 9 days of fundraising, I'd be gutted if Grover doesnt get to target!!

Seconded, I have donated and I really want to see this target reached. It is important people are discouraged from doing similar in future.

Great idea, but I'm a little bit disappointed with the teaser. It could be me, but I think it doesn't really explain the situation very clearly and I don't get a lot of the fragments shown and their connection with eachother and with the scandal.

Also, the part with Paul Leggett is - at least for me- completely inaudible and quite unpleasant to listen to. Maybe turn it down and add subtitling?

Try this one, it is a little tighter. I had made some edits, but the first vid got so many hits so quickly we decided to let it run. You still need some familiarity with the case for it to make total sense but we are targeting the poker world.

Also want to say thanks to Tim Lahey, Heath Boutwell, Jonathan Little, Kevin Lum, Michael DeCoudres, Thomas Tillenius, Evan Panesis for supporting the Kickstarter page and to the folks keeping the thread lit up.

<7 days to go

Amount Pledged: $3,725
Amount Needed: $2,775

Good progress over the last couple days. Let's keep the momentum going. Remember, if we don't reach the target ElevenGrover gets nothing.

After you contribute, post in the thread (no need to post the amount) so we keep the thread top of mind as we get closer to the deadline.

Come on 2+2, let's show the past, present, and future scammers that we will stand up for ourselves!

Would you consider asking someone with a more pretentious tone/pitch to do the narration?

I'd increase my donation to cover any reasonable cost that hiring someone like Agent Marco might charge.

Pledged a small amount.

First, I take no offense. I built the project with a specific idea for a narrator who will take some heavy lifting to get but if it happens will be phenomenal. He was cheated big time on UB and is well-known in and out of poker.

In the interim, as the writer it is easy for me to put together roughs for things like the Kickstarter, but I agree I have no future in the fabulous field of radio and television broadcasting. We have made some contacts from this thread for folks offering to assist and when we get into full post production, we'll get them involved.

+1 I don't have many contacts with other players, but if you do, please take a minute and make them aware of this project/thread.

If you need another title or maybe somebody wants to write a book about FTP then I suggest:

Cons and pros of online poker.

+1

There is a little more than 3 days to go and we are about 2/3rd of the way there:

Pledged: $3925
Needed: $2575

The way that Kickstarter is set up we need to hit the target or ElevenGrover gets nothing. So at this point for every dollar you give it is like giving three dollars.

We need 8-9 high rollers to join the tree-fiddy club. Of course all contributions help if you can't afford that much.

Have you tried tweeting to the likes of kidpoker and asking him to retweet it? If anything a few high stakes ballers who are not aware of it will see it nevermind the 190k other followers he has.
