10 DAYS IN A MADHOUSE Indiegogo Campaign Stands Out in a Sea of Funding Projects

As the world becomes accustomed to crowdfunding, an increasing number of projects are vying for attention. Few are as worthy of the time and attention as the 10 DAYS IN A MADHOUSE Indiegogo Campaign.

Seattle, WA, USA (September 7, 2013) -- As the world becomes accustomed to crowdfunding, an increasing number of projects are vying for attention. Few are as worthy of the time and attention as the 10 DAYS IN A MADHOUSE Indiegogo Campaign.

What makes this campaign unique is that 10 DAYS IN A MADHOUSE seeks to fund a feature length film based on Nellie Bly, one of the most compassionate, fearless and unique people to live within recent history. There's no question movies influence individuals, and by extension, our actions and the future. Nellie Bly's inspirational story will undoubtedly influence generations to believe in their own abilities.

Brooke Kroeger, author of Nellie Bly, Daredevil, Reporter, Feminist wrote, "Nellie Bly - In the 1880s, she pioneered the development of 'detective' or 'stunt' journalism, the acknowledged forerunner of full-scale investigative reporting. While she was still in her early twenties, the example of her fearless success helped open the profession to coming generations of women journalists clamoring to write hard news. Bly performed feats for the record books. She feigned insanity and engineered her own commitment to a mental asylum, then exposed its horrid conditions. She circled the globe faster than any living or fictional soul. She was the first woman to report from the Eastern Front in World War I."

The feature length movie 10 DAYS IN A MADHOUSE tells the story of how, at 23, Nellie Bly feigned mental illness to go undercover in the notorious Blackwell's Island Insane Asylum to expose atrocities, abuse rape and murder.

The projects is being mounted by award winning director Timothy Hines and Producer Susan Goforth whose last movie, WAR OF THE WORLDS THE TRUE STORY played in theaters across the United State to overwhelming critic and audience praise, competed in the 85th Academy Awards, was the focus of a symposium at Chapman University, played in prestigious festivals from Boston to South Africa, and is now on DVD and VOD.

The moviemakers are putting in their own funds and asking for contributions to help complete the budget.
