Hi there,

I'm Alexis, a Co-Producer on Sole Survivor. We've just been nominated for "Project of the Week" on Indiewire, one of the leading websites for independent filmmakers and fans. As we gear up for the festival circuit, winning this amazing accolade will not only allow more people learn about the film, but put us in contention to win a consultation with the fine folks at Tribeca Film Institute. Voting ends THIS Monday at 10am CST so if you have a moment, we'd love your support. Here's how:

1. Go to http://www.indiewire.com/article/vote-for-project-of-the-week-will-it-be-mzungu-survivor-passing-or-mormon

2. Vote for SOLE SURVIVOR

3. If you're so inclined, ensure our win by sharing the link on Facebook, Twitter, etc.

THANK YOU for your continued support and unwavering enthusiasm.

-Alexis Jaworski, Co-Producer on Sole Survivor
