Based on the few video-production projects I've worked, high-quality documentary post-production and 
editing is some of the slowest going. Even the best modern computers need grinding time to render 
the HD video, and even a super-efficient editor gets slowed down by his or her machines.

Someone who contemplates participating in this crowd-funding campaign might ask if the woman is 
GUARANTEED the 15-18k price by the editor/post-production crew. Will they CAP it at 18k? If not, she 
may well need more money. A true professional hates to cap a labor-intensive project's cost, but we 
all do it to get the work.
