Bill Nye Movie Becomes the Top-Funded Documentary on Kickstarter—Ever

Do you remember the Bill Nye the Science Guy documentary Kickstarter we mentioned a little while back? Not only has it met its funding goal, but it’s now the most-funded documentary in the history of Kickstarter, and it’s still got 36 hours to go despite having already changed the world (a little).

At $750,000, the project has well surpassed its $650,000 goal to make the ultimate movie on the man who made science fun and, maybe more importantly, accessible—or made us feel like we weren’t the only ones who saw it that way, for some of us. That puts it ahead of now-second place For the Love of Spock ($662,000), a documentary about Leonard Nimoy/Spock and directed by his son.

If you’d like to make sure the Bill Nye doc team has all the means to make the Bill Nye movie he—and the rest of us—deserves, you can still donate to the campaign in its finale hours.
