   It takes time. My first accidental client came after a failed startup I was pitching around NYC. Weeks after we closed shop, Someone asked if I knew a developer who was looking for work on the side. I said yes, and I took on the project.

   Hi Ed - Big fan of your posts. While I'm also a huge fan of the lean startup methodology, it's still an estimate. You're doing your best to make an educated guess, but you're never really sure if you were correct until years later.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the film finished and accepted to film festivals before they started the kickstarter project? The KS funds mostly went to finishing a website and companion material to the movie. Excerpt from the kickst

    If I'm anywhere close to $50,000 from a kickstarter campaign, I'm busting my ass to make sure I hit the goal. There shouldn't be an excuse for this. It's unacceptable.

    I'd second PHP (plus a framework, perhaps). I suggest PHP mostly to avoid friction. If I had to start w/ setting up rails, I would probably have given up before finishing the installation.
