It has been almost 10 years since Garden State first hit theaters, and Braff hasn’t returned to the role of writer/director since.
Until now.
Braff, citing frustrations with the traditional Hollywood funding system, has taken to Kickstarter to crowdfund his new film, Wish I Was Here.
The new film will act as a follow-up in tone, though not in story, to Garden State.
In the very well-done and funny video, Braff explains that he was inspired by the incredible support fans showed for the Veronica Mars Kickstarter effort, and decided to take his own project to the site.
Braff wrote the script, and will also direct and star. Head to the Kickstarter page to see the video, check out the pledge rewards, and donate to his cause.
