Hello all, I am Peyton Thomas and I am one of the Producers for American Road Player. I have been working on this show for three years and we are really excited to have Keith on-board for the ride. He will bring a great deal of excitement to the show.
The idea behind the indiegogo campaign to raise a part of the budget is not only for the monetary return which will be used in the film production but also to create an "invested" audience. This has become very popular for starting something new. So, to date my company has self funded the entire project, about $20,000 and we plan to take on the Post Production cost. The actual budget for the film production is 100K so as you can see, there will be other investors some of which we are entertaining now.
This is a passion project for me as pool has been a major part of my life for 30 years so I am particularly invested in this show which is why I have tried to meld the other part of my life with the sport.
This will be a great show and ultimately we will push it to the networks because they will take notice of it's web popularity.
The donations you make are fully refunded if we don't make the the goal of $40,000 and you get great perks for your donations including Hats and shirts from Hustlin USA, Pool Tables from Diamond Billiards.
If you want to see the show, show your support with $25 and you will get to have the behind the scenes while we are on the road.

After all $40,000 is $25 x 1600 donations...
On my other thread there were over 6000 views, 1600 doesn't seem like that much...
I'm all in, let's do this!
Just fired in my contribution, I really hope this happens, gonna be a lot of fun.
So, is this going to be different from a 'dancing monkey' role?
Thanks for the contribution to the thread.![]()
For years you decried being a player on a payroll as being a 'dancing monkey'. What makes this different?
You're welcome.
I don't dislike the idea, but I'm certainly curious as to how this is different than before. He may be welcomed to perform in a more natural manner, but at the end of the day he's still got strings attached - as we all do.
It is quite different than being a dancing monkey at a pool tournament that has a tournament director, a commentator, and referees receiving more financial gain than the majority of the competitors in the event, number one.
Number two, Keith will be doing what Keith does best, and that's entertain. This, and this alone, brings joy to Keith. Him performing on a field of green before a mass of fans and pool enthusiasts is like pure gold to him. Money can't buy that feeling. He'll be dancing to the beat of his own drums. That's better than money to Keith.![]()

Can you have cameras on the floor at Derby City? I know the action room is ok, but what about the main floor?
yes you can have cameras but no flash.
slim
Can you have an entire camera crew on the main floor?
last year nyc grind cameraman was filming all over including around the tv table.
you dont need a large crew to get good coverage of a game.
