the cause is global

Been staying up late painting the stand. Meanwhile, Sean has been helping get all of our accounting and database in order.

The stand is really looking awesome. Ordered some striped fabric for the awning which just came in yesterday. Still putting all the little finishing touches on it. Going to varnish it as well to help weather proof it.

It's really encouraging to be working on something like this until 3 in the morning and then to find 3 new Executive Producers have donated on-line from all around the world. Not to mention several producers and associates. It's almost unbelievable the support that continues to come in, and it helps sustain us as we prepare for further growth. Once we get our new website up, we will shift into a higher gear.

We have also been getting a lot of encouraging mail from people all around the world. People are looking for ways to get more involved.

Here is a cool e-mail from Mexico. Maybe we will be having a fundraiser party in the Chapultepec Castle?!

"Hmmm... What about paying to be an Executive Producer? Great!! (isn’t that what most of them do, give money?). But what about doing something more for this great project.

I found about the 1 Second Film on IMDb, and thought of it as an incredible idea, and ready to be committed to. Which way? Donating 100 bucks is the biggest opportunity to have your name as Executive Producer without spending much, but that’s not enough, at least for me.

Having quick thoughts I considered several options, from “just� promoting the film and having as many people here in Mexico donate something, up to doing something bigger: What about doing a fund raising event, parallel to the one in L.A., in the Chapultepec Castle and people auctioning through a setup videoconference.

I’d like to hear your comments about this idea.

The cause is global, let’s make it be global.

Stephan Wittig"

We think a fundraiser in a castle in Mexico is a great idea. Putting posters up in mexico is also a great idea. We like to think both big and small.

We really appreciate people around the world getting involved and making this film an international co-production.

best to all
