Personal Thank-You Video A personal video message from Nick McCabe, just for you — because this level of support deserves more than a credit.

At this level, you're not just supporting a film — you're named at the very top. Executive Producer is the highest credit in independent film.

A Note from Nick

Why This Matters

Independent film doesn't happen in a vacuum. It's built by people who believe in a story before the rest of the world has seen it. If you're here, you're one of those people.

Every dollar in the Founder's Circle goes directly toward production costs on my next short film, the one I've been developing for over a year. Your name in those credits isn't a formality. It's a reminder that real people made this possible.

Questions

Good to Know

When will I appear in the credits?

Your name will be included in the "Special Thanks" section of the ending credits for my next completed short film. You'll be notified when the film is finished.

Is this a tax-deductible donation?

This is a personal contribution to an independent creative project, not a 501(c)(3) charitable donation, so it is not tax-deductible.

How is my payment processed?

All payments are securely handled through Stripe. Nick never sees your card details.

Can I contribute more than the listed amount?

Absolutely. Reach out directly at nick@thenickmccabe.com and we can discuss how to honor your contribution.

What if I have an idea for a custom perk?

I'm open to it. If you're interested in contributing in exchange for something not listed here — such as product placement for your business or promotion of your own film — reach out and we can try to work out a deal that makes sense for both of us.
