The crowd-funding website, kickstarter.com, got a new high-profile film project yesterday. The site has been used to bring art projects, documentaries, inventions and the like to fruition, but now it's kick started the budget for a movie brought to you by Hollywood insiders. Actress Kristen Bell and TV writer/producer Rob Thomas launched the Veronica Mars Movie Project and within a day met their $2 million goal. Today they're pushing $3 million. Veronica Mars was a short-lived TV series that aired for two years on UPN then for one on the CW. Now their rabid fans are hoping to see a movie. And today -- off of the kickstarter campaign's success -- Warner Bros gave the movie a green light. Will this change the way movies are funded?

PIE FEST CANCELED
KCRW has decided to cancel this Sunday’s Good Food PieFest. We are aware of the campus protests at UCLA and believe it’s in the best interest for all to cancel.
PieFest is a beloved KCRW community event. As such, we will be looking into a possible reschedule and share the details as soon as we can.
