    THANK YOU - WE DID IT!

We will be sending (via Kickstarter) a short survey that includes a request for your e-mail and mailing address so that we can keep in touch and also make sure that you get your reward.

    There were 169 Kickstarter backers of this project and your support has been a great source of energy and motivation. THE LOVING STORY is such an important film, and we hope that you are as proud to be a part of it as we are to be producing it.

    With gratitude,

        I am not familiar with any of your past work, but as a longtime social and economic justice activist I donated because I want this film to be made and made well. I write about the Lovings in my book, Sexuality and Socialism, and I think their story and their accidental activism is compelling—at least what I know of it so far.

        Am looking forward to your film. Good luck. In solidarity-Sherry Wolf
