It what may be no surprise, The Importance of Being Ernest has successfully ended its Kickstarter campaign after far surpassing its initial goal.
Per the Kickstarter page, others involved to contribute to the movie are Bruce Arntson (actor, writer, composer); Clarke Gallivan (producer); Coke Sams (writer, producer, director); Gabe Bullard (journalist); Janie Varney (Jim Varney’s manager and second wife); Jim DeVault (photographer for the official Ernest photoshoots); Josh Cherry (art director, actor, writer, and John Cherry’s son); and Panama Jack Williams (singer/songwriter and longtime friend of Varney).
A release date hasn’t yet been named for The Importance of Being Ernest, as the project just now wrapped the crowdfunding campaign.
At the end of the one-month campaign on Kickstarter, the project raised a total of $76,974 from nearly 1000 backers.
