McGinness says they are nearly done shooting the film and have begun the editing process, which has been the most rewarding part of production for him so far.
"We both have strengths in entirely different areas and weaknesses in entirely different areas, but that's okay," he said. "He's had to teach me how to nail things out and get things done in a timely manner, and I think I've taught him a lot about visuals and things like that that are very important."

"God, Grant Me" was partially funded through Kickstarter, a fundraising website that allows people to donate to various projects, but the project only receives the money if it's predetermined goal is met by a certain deadline.
"God, Grant Me," a film created by two Lawrence residents, is currently in production. The duo reached their fundraising goal of $4,500 on Kickstarter in July.

The film met its goal in the last hour with 69 backers donating a total of $4,530. One of those backers is Michelle Leatherby, a graphic design student at the University from Fayetteville, Ark. As a photographer herself,
she said it was important to her to help fellow artists see their work come to fruition. "I think it's important as an artist to support other artists work, even if it's a completely different field," she said. "It's just nice to
be able to help other people with their projects, because I believe if I had a project they would help fund it as well. It's a real give and take in the artist community." McGinness and Friederich plan such and submit the film
in early November to various festivals, including South by Southwest. If accepted, they hope to debut it in Lawrence this spring.
