Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

By March of this year, Damon Ristau knew he was on the right road with his documentary film-in-progress, "The Bus." http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Bus-Movie/118753248146770

That’s when a friend pointed him to a website called Kickstarter.com. The site offered a novel approach to fundraising: Pitch your project, name a fundraising goal and let small-dollar supporters from around the world contribute. Projects that hit their goal receive the pledged funds. Those that don’t receive nothing, and donors are never charged for their pledge.

In the end, Ristau raised $25,430 in 30 days through the site http://www.kickstarter.com . Ristau said the show of support has given him not only much-needed funds, but also motivation to give his supporters a great film.
