It’s been 10 years since Zach Braff ’s indie breakout hit Garden State premiered in 2004, but he’s finally making his triumphant return to theaters with Wish I Was Here , and it wouldn’t have happened without Kickstarter. “This ain’t my first rodeo,” Braff told THR on the red carpet. “I’ve been to test screenings for movies and I’ve seen how corporations tweak these movies, based on those test scores, against the director’s will. That wasn’t going to happen with this movie.”
Not everyone was so sure about taking the project to Kickstarter, though, including Zach’s co-writer, producer and brother, Adam Braff.
