Time to pop the cork and celebrate! Actually, I did that last night when I got the official word that the project was funded. I wish I could raise a glass with each of you who emailed, phoned, and persuaded friends and family to support the project. You did a tremendous job.
Special thanks to Michael Ortlieb who did the math and gave the amount that put us over the top. Way to go!
One thing I enjoyed about this campaign was hearing people's draft stories. One of the last donations to the campaign was from a woman whose dad spent time in federal prison for draft resistance when she was a child. As she says, "This is an issue that definitely affected our family. Thank you for wanting to document this important historical period."
With your support I can now get busy filming. Tomorrow I'm off to interview Bruce Dancis. More to come!
Cheers,
Beth
