Help Fund "Hellyfish"

NewYorkisBoring.com founder and SCAD VSFX graduate Pat Longstreth is making a horror/comedy film about homicidal jellyfish.  Yes, homicidal jellyfish.  The crew is currently raising funds via Kickstarter to complete this project.  


"Hellyfish" is being directed by Pat Longstreth and Rob Maclean, produced by Katie Schuck and shot by Bob Jones.  The directors' concept, derived from Katie Fitzpatrick's original screenplay, will also have the backing of a musical score by acclaimed Atlanta band Today the Moon, Tomorrow the Sun.
The project's Facebook page sums up the film as such:
America's only missing nuclear weapon is leaking radioactive material into the ocean just off the coast of Tybee Island, GA.  The trifling existence of a hapless cast is disrupted by a vicious force of nature that shows no mercy.
Hellyfish was recently named as one of Kickstarter.com's "Staff Picks," foreshadowing the potential for the completed piece to eventually evolve into a cult classic.  The makers of "Hellyfish" are attempting raise $10,000 by February 26th.  Below is a teaser for you to feast your eyes upon, as well as a direct URL to project's fundraising page.  Take a look, and help these folks out however which way you can.
