Zach Braff wants to make another movie, and he wants our help. He’s reaching out to his fans via Kickstarter to raise money for his next project, “Wish I Was Here,” a follow-up of sorts to “Garden State.” Being a girl from New Jersey who was in her 20s when “Garden State” premiered, I was instantly a huge fan of Zach’s directorial debut. I’m not even sure which I liked better — the film or the soundtrack.
I’d love to see “Wish I Was Here” get made, so I think I’m going to make my first Kickstarter contribution. So far the response has been tremendous. As I’m writing this, Zach’s more than halfway to his goal of $2,000,000. Amazing!

Thank you for sharing the link to this Kickstarter campaign! I, too, loved Garden State and would love to see the second film created. There are a few films that have impacted me deeply in the same way — Before Sunrise and Before Sunset have had the same effect on me. And they’re coming out with a third this fall! Isn’t it great when the good things come back and they’re even more awesome? I can’t wait to see what Braff does with this. Donation: done.
I have to admit: I’ve never seen either of the “Before…” movies. I’m not even sure how that’s possible, as I’m SUCH the pop culture junkie (and was a teenager in the 90s!). When the third comes out, I’ll have to binge watch the first two.
Funny story: I once LITERALLY ran into Ethan Hawke while exiting a cab in NYC!
