And that's not all. "Supper" will be coming to Boston in March as part of the travelling "Best Of" program at the New Media Film Festival. And we have another exciting programming announcement coming soon for our friends in Los Angeles. Stay tuned for details!
Thank you all again for your help in fundraising for "Meditations: ItsOkayItsOkay". We've already started the ball rolling on pre-production and have some really exciting ideas. I can't thank you enough for your support.
Very best,
Jonathan
Update #1: 79% Funded!
To the backers of the next Meditations,
I'm pleased to say that, with 13 days left to go, our project is over 3/4 of the way funded. Thank you so much for supporting independent cinema. We rely on individuals like yourself to produce meaningful work for the screen.
It's a great accomplishment. But we haven't reached our goal yet. Remember, if we don't at least hit $6,000 by the end of the year, our project won't get any money at all. So be sure to tell your friends, family, neighbors, preachers and teachers. Every little bit helps and no amount is too small.
We're not making a popcorn flick; we're engaging in personally meaningful and intimate cinema that you're not likely to see anywhere else. I know that you've contributed because you want to see those types of films. And I'm very thankful for that. Now let's bring it to the world.
My very best,
Jonathan
