WE need your help!
Traveling across the country with 8 people (Gabriel Cordell, Lisa France, Christopher Kawas, Joshua Streeter, Chris Yanke, Christian Link, Angel Marckwordt and now Derek Gibbs) over 75 days is expensive. Just for hotels for each night (if we were doing that) would cost $41,400. But we’re getting a motor home for most of the trip and only stopping at a hotel 10 times. It will be hard and stinky, but we’re trying to keep costs down. With that in mind, here is what we need to get Gabe safely to New York (the line by line budget is 10 pages long – this is general).
Motor Home for 80 days x 3,300 miles/gas (added days for safety) = $17,563
Food for 8 people x 80 ($35/day) = $22,400 (please contact the team at rollwithmeacrossamerica@gmail.com to make non monetary donations)
Cameras/goPros/mounts/drives/sound/computers/wifi/phones/ etc = $18,873
One way airfare for everyone (8) back to LA (today) = $3,012
Follow SUV = $4,993
Production insurance = $3,219
SUV/Motor Home/extra driver insurance = $1,821
Fees for professionals for media management/mounts/shooting x 80 days = $31,441
Hotels for 10 days for 8 people = $5,520 (please contact the team at rollwithmeacrossamerica@gmail.com to make non monetary donations)
Stipend for crew: $50/day x 7 x 75 (does not include Gabe) = $26,250 135,092
Production & Legal (printer, paper, legal paperwork, pens, etc) = $12,063
Laundry & supplies = $1,115 (please contact the team at rollwithmeacrossamerica@gmail.com to make non-monetary donations)
Cleaning & Medical supplies & snacks, 8 people x 75 days = $8,725
Gas & tolls & citations (we might get in trouble for going slow – let’s hope not) for 75-80 days for two vehicles = $ $7,200 (please contact the team at rollwithmeacrossamerica@gmail.com to make non monetary donations)
Some post-production & Social media support – we will be cutting a long trailer, small trailer & some promotional pieces. In addition, pieces to upload to the web = $9,252
Postage/DVDs/Posters = $6,379
Emergency funds (in the event something happens to crew or Gabe) = $5,200
Contingency (this is for “oops” we didn’t know it cost that much or, we didn’t know we needed that) = $9,430.23
TOTAL = $194,077
