Dream, Girl was successfully funded on Kickstarter on September 5th, 2014 bringing in $104,157 by 1,904 backers.
Erin came up with the idea for the film after starting Feminist Wednesday, a feminist storytelling blog. Over the course of a year, she met and interviewed almost one hundred amazing female entrepreneurs. She knew she had to make this documentary to bring their inspiring stories to the world.
Co-producer, Komal Minhas, pitched Mindy Kaling to narrate part of the film at the Sundance Film Festival (Jan 2015), during the Power of Story: Serious Ladies panel from the audience.
Erin and Komal (co-producers) met via the Kickstarter campaign after Marie Forleo shared the campaign with her online audience at MarieForleo.com.
Sal Mastrocola, the composer of the film, is Erin's fiancé. He also helped Erin bring Dream, Girl to life.
