Greetings from Tromaville!
The Troma Team would like to thank each and every one of our “Occupy Cannes” funders. Thanks to the 385 people who contributed, we will be able to shoot a truly wonderful film at the Cannes Film Festival which we hope will make a difference to independent artists everywhere. Thanks to you all, we can continue the important fight for truly independent cinema.
Regarding your well-deserved perks, we will be sending out the $10 and $25 level perks very soon. The bigger perks, however, will naturally have to wait until “Occupy Cannes” has been completed. Meanwhile, keep an eye on the official “Occupy Cannes” Tumblr page (http://occupycannes.tumblr.com/) and Lloyd Kaufman’s Twitter account (@lloydkaufman) for all the latest news.
Again, thank you to all who have supported “Occupy Cannes.” Now, let’s make some art!

Troma Entertainment is pleased to announce that the deadline OCCUPY CANNES has been extended by one week in response to the many messages from fans who requested more time to share the campaign with additional friends and family. “It is because of our fans that we have raised over half of our goal thus far,” said Lloyd Kaufman, president of Troma Entertainment and creator of the Toxic Avenger. “So when our fans asked for more time to share the campaign with their friends and family in order to help Troma get closer to our goal, we naturally granted their request. Another reason for the extension is that OCCUPY CANNES, a non-profit driven, idealistic project that 325 people have contributed to so far because they want to see it, is so uniquely important not only to Troma, but to supporters of independent art and commerce.”
This announcement comes just as OCCUPY CANNES was the subject of a feature in TIME magazine, titled, “The Toxic Investor: A Legendary Indie-Film Company Turns to Crowdfunding.” (http://entertainment.time.com/2013/02/27/the-to...)
Occupy Cannes also received great coverage from DigBoston.com, with a feature titled “Crowdfunding Provides Option for Independent Film Company Troma.” (http://digboston.com/watch/2013/02/crowdfunding...)
Remember, everyone: together, we can change the world of independent art!
