DL Chronicles Kickstarter Campaign Fails - What Now?

The DL Chronicles kickstarter campaign, an online fundraising effort to raise money for production costs towards the second season of the DL Chronicles lead by its creators, has failed to reach its $125,000 target by the deadline of December 30th. The effect of this is that the $43,000 pledged by the 371 backers have become void and donations returned. Where does this leave the project? Find out after the jump:

Undetered by the initial setback, the creators have launched a second campaign via alternative fundraising site indiegogo, this time, lowering the target amount to $30,000. They have also released the following statement.

Happy NEW YEAR’S EVE everyone!
Out with the old and in with the NEW!

We would like to thank you for joining us on this new campaign. It is because of the active support of viewers like yourselves that make our work possible. Unlike our first campaign in 2011, we would not like to see this phrase ever again.

“FUNDING UNSUCCESSFUL
This project reached the deadline without achieving its funding goal.”

We look forward to making this campaign reach its goal and beyond!

Next to ADTV, DL Chronicles is QUALITY programming. Solid acting, well written storylines and great attention to detail. Here's hoping the campaign achieves its target this go round.
