Zach Braff's Wish I Was Here Kickstarter campaign successfully ended on Friday after reaching $3 million in pledges.

Braff's crowd-funded project had a goal of $2 million by Friday, May 24, so the actor/director will have at least $1 million more to work with.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you. I won't let you down! Lets do this," Braff tweeted shortly after shutting down funding.

The project reached its $2 million goal in three days, so Braff took to Twitter to try and push for that extra million:

"Whomever pledges the last $ will get sex from Kate Upton. (Note: this is a lie.)"

"4 hours left. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I promise you fun. I cannot believe how amazing my fans are!!!! ‪#Blessed"

On why he chose Kickstarter as a means of financing the film, Braff wrote on the project's page:

"After I saw the incredible way "Veronica Mars" fans rallied around Kristen Bell and her show's creator Rob Thomas, I couldn't help but think . . . maybe there is a new way to finance smaller, personal films that didn't involve signing away all your artistic control."

Braff had received some criticism from media sites and the public for using Kickstarter to fund the project, mostly claiming that he should have enough residual money from his long-running sitcom Scrubs to finance it himself.

"People seem to think I have Oprah Winfrey money," Braff countered in an interview, "I've done well in my career, but I am not sitting on $22 million."

Braff has attracted some big names to Wish I Was Here, including: Kate Hudson, Anna Kendrick, Jim Parsons and Mandy Patinkin.

According to the project's page, Braff hopes to start production on the film as soon as possible and have it finished by January 2014, when it would debut at the Sundance Film Festival. He is projecting a theater release date of September 2014.
