We still have 3 days left to continue to raise funds. The more we get the more we can accomplish. This is incredibly exciting! Here's a note from our director:
On behalf of our entire team, whose efforts have been constant and inspiring, I want to thank each and every one of you for all your gifts large and small. It is gratifying that we met our goal, and very exciting to have so many people already in our Frank Morgan Project Community. We'll send you updates as we move into the next phase of production, and keep you informed of good news and milestones. Thank you again, friends.
Gratefully,
NC Heikin

Here's a clip from the film: George Cables on drugs and music. It's the music that's important, he says, and we agree. That's what's left in the end, Frank Morgan's gift to the world, his beautiful music.
There's a wonderful article in today's New York Times by Nate Chinen about our producer Michael Connelly's relationship with Frank Morgan and Sound of Redemption. Our Kickstarter project gets a mention, too. Here's a link:
