Zach Braff has got big things to prove with his new Kickstarter-financed film.
Zach Braff wants to set the bar "really, really high" with Wish I Was Here.
The Scrubs actor is currently directing and starring in the movie, which he co-wrote with his brother Adam.
Zach raised the money for the motion picture as part of a Kickstarter campaign, where more than 46,000 donors contributed upward of $3.1 million to fund his film.
The actor has been criticised by some for financing his pursuit in this way, and Zach knows he's got something big to prove with this new pursuit.
"If this is the test case for this way of financing a movie, I want to set the bar really, really high," Zach admitted to E! News.
Zach's gathered plenty of good names to feature in his film. A-list actress Kate Hudson stars alongside Mandy Patinkin, Ashley Greene, Jim Parsons and Josh Gad. Josh signed up after being intrigued by the concept behind the independent drama.
"What fascinated me more than anything was the process of this Kickstarter campaign and getting the money through crowd-funding," Josh also told E!. "It really does feel like you're making a movie for the people."
Zach does feel an obligation towards the people who donated to the creative cause and made the flick possible. As a result, he's letting his financiers speak.
"If any of these 46,000 people email us or contact us, they get a response that day, hopefully within a couple of hours, depending on how crazy we are," Zach said. "All questions are answered quickly... We treat them like they're guests at the fanciest hotel and we're the concierge."
