      I hope you make it! Saw your link posted twice on FB by Ela Thier and Laurie Shapiro. Love the trailer. Happy to support indie filmmakers regardless but especially happy to do so for Jewish women!

      I was so taken with My Nose and am so glad the full-length version is in production. Gayle and her mom both have larger-than-life personalities that are archetypal, somehow. I believe My Nose: The Bigger Version is going to be embraced by mothers and daughters (and the men who love them) from every culture. If you are a mother or daughter or both, please become a backer so we can all sit back and enjoy the show.

      Gayle's short film "My Nose" is a classic. I'm excited to see this new feature length version that gives her story, with all its humor and drama, a chance to grow. It's been great to have the opportunity to be involved with a film that's sure to both entertain and move audiences. I encourage others to pledge soon and be a part of helping complete this wonderful film.

      This project is wonderful and I am happy to support it! I've just learned about it through an email--so interesting to me as a mom, Jewish woman, clinical psychologist, with a 'nose' story of my own.

      I know Gayle personally and have also worked with her professionally. I can attest to her dedication to storytelling. She's an amazing, inspiring woman who will stay up all hours of the night ruminating over story ideas, but will also happily put down her blackberry and make you a home cooked meal. Gayle's story with her mother is relatable to thousands of men and women, and she is such a vibrant individual (as noted by her previous awards and accolades) that audiences will surely flock to the film to witness her story.

      I have met Gayle 20 years ago. She is a sensitive and humanist filmmaker, who is very honest and emotional in her projects and at the same time hardworking and very professional. I'd love to see this film to happen because her unique subject matter, a mother-daughter abusive relationship and because of Gayle personal and entertaining style.

      Gayle's project will be of great benefit and will be a positive uplifing message that our culture needs. At one level, the story is about a lady's nose. However, it really is a universal story that will touch many souls about becoming comfortable in our own skin and making peace with challenging people in our lives.

      This project is just incredible. I've known Gayle for over 7 years and she's the real deal. "Serious Fun" - she's totally serious and focussed on her art – yet the work is incredible fun. Go Gayle.

      I am a backer of the Kickstarter campaign being run by Gayle Kirschenbaum for her film My Nose: The Bigger Version and have functioned in the capacity of an Executive Producer for independent film. Gayle is the best! An unusually talented and very professional filmmaker. Her projects are funny, highly entertaining, touching and psychologically sophisticated at the same time! Please put her outstanding film on your home page and consider using it as one of your recommended projects. I venture to say you will be thrilled with the results!

      I am supporting this project for many reasons. Gayle is a vibrant fil maker with a unique ability to open a window to poignant & fascinating topics. I have no doubt MY NOSE: THE BIGGER VERSION, will be special & help mothers & daughters become closer.

      I wish you much success and I think that any mother daughter relationship has it's ups and downs like I am sensing that this has - at my stage in life with my mom 20 years older than me - I found this moving and Mazel Tov!
