Nick's intro[]
Browsing the "Most Funded" tab of Kickstarter, one quickly sees a pattern - a rash of feature-laden, over-designed gadgetry, board-game adaptations of existing video games, and derivative card games with random and/or edgelord sensibilities - all of which raise millions whether a finished product was delivered or not.
Zach Braff
But there's an anomaly among the smart grills and Cards Against Humanity clones, things named liked Bears vs. Babies: a feature film starring, written, and directed by Hollywood sitcom actor, Zach Braff.
In 2013, Scrubs star Braff launched a Kickstarter for a self-financed film to runaway success, inspiring subsequent Kickstarters by Hollywood IP like Veronica Mars and Mystery Science Theater 3000. The next year, he released his Kickstarter-funded film Wish I Was Here to middling reception. The film's story centered on an underemployed actor whose financial straits mean he can no longer afford to send his kids to a fancy private school, forcing him to home school them (public school bizarrely considered unthinkable) failed to connect with audiences, despite their emotional and financial investment.
But that investment was all predicated on the rapturous reception of Braff's previous directorial outing, his 2004 film about a different underemployed actor who meets a manic pixie dream girl and learns he doesn't need his psychiatric medication after all. While often mocked for its earnestness and college-freshman mixtape soundtrack, the film was critically praised at the time and was a genuine indie hit at the box office. An essential character in this film was the titular location to which Braff's character returns home, the Garden State, New Jersey.
And it's New Jersey where, in 1971, a 17-year old Peter Cancro purchased the Jersey Shore sandwich shop where he worked with financial support, not from Kickstarter, but rather a substantial personal loan from his high-school football coach. Cancro's ambition and acumen helped grow the single shop into a small chain and in 1987, a franchise; its wheels greased by the mix of red-wine vinegar and olive oil dubbed "The Juice" that's doused on its subs. By 2014, the year Wish I Were Here hit theaters, the chain had 750 locations.
And unlike Braff's quixotic directing career, this Garden State original found even greater success thereafter; today, with over 1500 locations and counting.
This week on Doughboys, we return to Jersey Mike's Subs.
