Campaign Enters Home Stretch
Actor and producer Matthew Del Negro has sounded the final charge for backers to double their contributions to the Mickey Brasch film project. In a recent Instagram post, Del Negro shared: “TWO MORE DAYS OF MATCHING DONATIONS!!! So far we’ve raised $1,125 during our matching drive, so that’s $2,250 closer to our goal!! Today and tomorrow are the last days that donations will be doubled by our benefactor, so if you were considering donating to our campaign, NOW IS THE TIME! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼” With a $100,000 Kickstarter target, every dollar pledged before the matching window closes is effectively worth two—making these final 48 hours a critical push for independent cinema.
Matching Initiative Sparks Rapid Growth
The dollar-for-dollar match follows a tiered incentive plan designed to sustain momentum. Shortly after launch, Del Negro announced a $5,000 family match, encouraging supporters to maximize their impact. A mid-week update confirmed that $1,000 had been raised since the match was activated, unlocking an extra $2,000 in combined funding. Weeks prior, the campaign celebrated crossing the 50 percent mark on day one, thanks to early donors snapping up producer-credit tiers. With only two days left to claim the remaining $5,000 match, the project’s backers are in the driver’s seat to help secure essential post-production and distribution resources.
Community Milestones And Social Engagement
Social media has been the campaign’s lifeblood. Early posts highlighted hitting 100 total donors within the first week, while later updates showcased over 75 percent of the goal achieved midway through the run. By sharing “We’re matching donations up to $5,000 until SATURDAY!”, Del Negro provided a sense of urgency, prompting a 20 percent spike in contributions. A subsequent update noted that since Monday’s match announcement, raising $1,000 unlocked an extra $1,000 gift from the benefactor—doubling the campaign’s reach. Del Negro himself reminded followers, “If you can’t donate, interacting with our posts and sharing our story helps immensely! Thank you all for your continued support!” Fans have documented their pledges on TikTok and Twitter, fueling viral interest that extends beyond the traditional film-festival circuit.

His résumé spans Psych, CSI: Miami, and roles in award-winning indie projects—all marked by his dedication to nuanced characters.
