Railfan is rolling!  In the past ten days, YOU have raised over $5000 dollars, taking us to just over a THIRD of our goal. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to our campaign so far and got us off to such a fine start! But DON'T get left at the station... we need still need your help to make that goal, especially since we have our first screening coming up!  

We've secured a festival date for our official premiere.  It's going to be in TORONTO on SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24th. Lots more details to come about this next week. But if you want to see it first, sit with the crew ***and get invited to our special after party***  then you should select THIS reward level and join us! 

TTC commuters know they'll have a great day when Uncle Crawfy (aka Alex Crawford) is on board, as he turns announcements into powerful messages of positivity. Whether it's a reminder to find a reason to smile or sharing his homemade haikus, Uncle Crawfy's here to help make your day. He's also committed to reminding us of the importance of taking care of our mental health, especially for men as they get older.

Toronto's favourite subway operator will now share a personal message for the Railfan in your life. With this reward, Uncle Crawfy will record a message of up to two minutes of on the theme of your choice; dedicated to your favourite person! You tell us what will make them happy OR leave it up to the Uncle to make it special. Poetry verses, philosophical inspiration, or wish someone a happy birthday!
