Your Lovin' Gives Me Such a Thrill, But Your Lovin' Won't Fund My Film (I Need Your Money)!


Hi Folks! My new short film, DRIFT, is well underway. Cameras officially start rolling at the end of this month: March, 2010!

I'mreally hoping for all the kind and generous help I can get, as we'recurrently collecting donations to cover the film's whole budget. ButI'm confident that it's a very realistic goal: $2,200 in the next 2.5 weeks!!

Your donations will be directly applied to all production-related expenses (helpingto pay our cast/crew, food/travel costs, equipment rentals, and all thepost-production necessities that will help the film look/sound great).

I've got really high hopes for this little film (15-30 mins in length), and am aiming for international festival exposure.I'm hoping that your generous assistance can help this film go places!Also, if you happen to be short on the $$, but happen to be a socialnetworking celebrity (or have lots of friends, a big online readership,or web presence otherwise), I'd love it if you could pass this page—andthe DRIFT Facebook page—along accordingly!!

Thanks for your consideration!

Sincerely,
Jim Vendiola (Writer-Director)
