After launching its crowdfunding campaign last week, What We Left Behind – producer Ira Behr’s documentary on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine – rapidly hit its initial $150,000 goal and has continued to shoot for the stars, passing a quarter-million dollars in contributions.
Flying past that first $150k goal in less than 36 hours, the Indiegogo fundraiser has expanded with a series of “stretch goals,” targeting an expanded running time, new music, additional interviews, and an expanded feature with former DS9 writers Ron Moore, Robert Hewitt Wolfe, and more on a hypothetical “Season Eight” of Deep Space Nine.
As of this morning, the What We Left Behind campaign has topped $257,500 and still has 25 days left in its fundraising window to continue taking in fan contributions.
