Adam Carolla Breaks $1M on Donald Trump's FundAnything.com

Comedian and podcast king Adam Carolla can now add “crowdfunding leader” to his title. The crowd funding campaign for his new movie “Road Hard” on Fundanything.com has broken through the $1 million mark.       Carolla’s is the most successful crowdfunding campaign for a comedian.

He will write, direct and star in Road Hard, a film about the journey of a former standup-turned-sitcom-star who is forced to go back on the road and perform at clubs he played on the way up.  The film is being co-written and co-directed with Kevin Hench (The Hammer).

Carolla chose the FundAnything sitebecause his friend and former Celebrity Apprentice “boss” Donald Trump had launched the crowdfunding site with business partner Bill Zanker.  FundAnything has seen explosive growth since its launch in May 2013, and Carolla’s movie campaign has surpassed its $1 million dollar goal in less than 30 days!

Fans who have made a contribution to the campaign have received rewards including, Adam Carolla’s voice on contributors’ voicemail, executive producer credit, a private performance by Adam Carolla, and an opportunity to appear in the movie.  Although the campaign has already reached its financial goal, the project will continue raising funds and remain live on the FundAnything.com site through the end of August.  Carolla launched his “Road Hard” campaign video featuring Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad) to a national audience on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
