Update #24: Trash Dance- the movie about The Trash Project!
Hello most dearest backers of The Trash Project,
Trash Dance, the movie (yes- you read right, the MOVIE!) about the making of The Trash Project, will premier at SXSW next week! Picture the packed historic Paramount Theater—full with the stars of the movie, the hardworking city employees who keep our city clean, plus their families and fans of The Trash Project. It is going to be such a party!
I am writing to ask for your support- once again. Filmmaker Andy Garrison is raising money to finish Trash Dance on Kickstarter. He has only 8 DAYS to reach his goal. Any donation will help. You know how it goes. Art is this country gets made because ordinary people want it to get made. So support a very hardworking artist and his team (I saw Andy this morning and again he had been up for more than 24 hours working on the film) and MAKE A DONATION today.
Thank you and much much love,
Allison
