Update #4: Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
With your help and generosity, we successfully raised $13,716+ on Kickstarter for our short film compilation — that's $5,716 more than our $8,000 goal. 171% funded!
And what an incredible campaign it has been!
Sixty-seven generous backers made donations ranging from $6 to $5,000.
You've given all of us at THE HIV STORY PROJECT great confidence that our mission to produce quality media about HIV/AIDS in 2010 is vital for our communities.
In such challenging economic times, it means so much to experience a ground swell of support from our communities.
To be sure, we are moved, humbled, and excited by your belief in us and our mission!
Now we're going to make some movies and new media magic!!

Thank you again.
All the best,

Update #3: Check out a clip from our latest production: 'TELL ME'
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Slowly but steadily we are inching our way towards our full set of short films: Director Véronica Deliz and photographer Duane Cramer have moved forward with production on their short film collaboration 'TELL ME'. Below please find the opening of that film which is currently in post production and addresses Duane's own dealing with HIV.
Deadlines for the film festivals are coming up. We are certainly not done, but with the films we already have completed we are feverishly creating a "work in progress" tape for the Sundance, Tribeca, San Francisco and the Berlin International Film Festivals - and what we have so far is amazing and beautiful and moving. If you haven't done so, please do consider contributing to our campaign - we have a completed matching gift coming in of $500 which will push us past the $5k marker and a new matching gift challenge started just today so that we have another $1k promised to us. With your help we can make this happen, reach our goal of $8,000, send our compilation to the festivals and finish the full 15-piece compilation on time!
Thank you!
