Zach Braff Kickstarter Project. Actor-director Zach Braff is killing it on the crowdfunding platform. He has forgone traditional ways of getting Hollywood backing and has raised $1.9 million (and counting) in two days on the crowdsourcing platform, for “Wish I Was Here,” his follow-up to “Garden State.” The goal was to reach $2 million in funding in a month.

The project launched two days ago, April 24th. As of 7:30pm April 26th (Pacific Time) he has raised $1,916,889 from 27,135 backers. He still has 27 days to reach his $2,000,000 goal, which he obviously will surpass.
