Dafna, it's been years. I just read about your project from a link on Chris Cline's FB page. I donated and posted to mine, I do hope you reach your goal. It sounds like a wonderful film. Hope you are well.
Thank you for you support and well wishes, Wayland, Matt and Heidi. The 24 hours countdown has begun to reach our Kickstarter goal. And the Digital Dharma team are all excited to move forward and complete the feature film on the remarkable E. Gene Smith. Warm regards and gratitude, Dafna
Wonderful project. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to help. Wishing you success to reach your goals.
We have got to spread the word to other potential backers!!!
Best wishes on this project. In 1999 I worked for the Gere Foundation in NYC, and assisted with the project that brought HH the Dalai Lama to teach at the Beacon Theatre and Central Park that year. I miss being around Tibetans. All the best on this project. Cheers!
Thanks for posting Rachel. We just found out about the Indie Project of the Week Poll while on a walk and have run home to try and get the word out for people to vote.
