Much love and gratitude to my "First Believer" Regina Rodriguez!!

My documentary is to take 7 strangers of different beliefs and travel to America's largest places of worship.  The cast will consist of both male and female that consider themselves either Sikh, Mormon, Christian, Roman Catholic, Jewish, Muslim, or an Atheist.  (Funds permitting, also considering Buddhist and Scientologist) I hope to begin shooting in late June in Los Angeles, CA.   We will travel to:

• San Jose, CA (Sikh Gurdwara Sahib, Sikh) *Just Added on 3/21/12*
• Salt Lake City, UT (Salt Lake Temple, Mormon)
• Houston, TX (Lakewood Church, Christian)
• Dearborn, MI (Islamic Center of America, Muslim)
• Washington DC (The National Cathedral, Interfaith/Episcopalian)
• Washington DC (Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, Roman Catholic) *Just Added on 4/2/12*
• New York, NY (Emanu El, Jewish)

The purpose is to show that people can coexist with different beliefs and hopefully promote interfaith.

The video further explains the who, what, when, and where, but the how is up to you.  Your generosity depends on how great this film can be.  With $15,000, I can take my 2005 Honda Odyssey crammed with equipment, luggage and 5 strangers.  It seats 7 so one lucky person can be my sound engineer. We could sleep under the stars or bed lice infested motel rooms. McDonald's value menu will become the meals of choice.

Should I hit my real goal of $30,000, I can rent an RV from Cruise America.  We can sleep in the RV and cook our own meals.  It only sleeps 7, so I still will have only 1 other crew member, but I will have better equipment.  This also gives me room for post production costs.  I will still have to drive.

Now should I hit the gold mine here on Kickstarter, I can do it the way that I dream of with a charter bus.  I have already talked to the Vice President of Premiere Transportation and he told me that for our trip we would need 2 drivers, but it does sleep 12, so I can bring a great crew along.  I would like to get the bus wrapped in our logos.  But for that big pie in the sky I would at least need $60,000.  It's a really sweet ride.

So again, the how is all up to you my donor angel.
