Dear Friends, Family and Elephant Supporters,
As you know by now, I’m going back to Thailand to film the two newest elephant landmine survivors at the Friends of the Asian Elephant (FAE) Elephant Hospital (Oct 31-Nov 4) and then it’s on to Laos to attend the Youth Leaders Forum for the International Campaign to Ban landmines (Nov 7-12). But I need your help to get there!
In the past week we’ve raised $1,500 of the $3,000 needed for the 16-day documentary trip. Thank you for this amazing show of support!
We still have a ways to go, so if you’re still looking to donate or invest in the film, if you’ve always wanted to be in show biz, and if you want to help make a movie you’d be proud to see in the theaters, please help us today.
- Donate through the film’s fiscal sponsor, the San Francisco Film Society. All donations are tax-deductible and you can donate using a debit or credit card through a secure link via The Eyes of Thailand web site: http://eyesofthailand.com
- Transfer stock to the film via the SF Film Society. It’s also tax-deductible.
No donation is too small and all donations are tax-deductible! In recognition of your support, I am offering the following VIP perks to donors:
- $25 = Personal thank you note from yours truly, plus a signed promotional postcard—it’ll be a collector’s item one day!
- $100 = All of the above, plus thanked in the film’s credits.
- $500 = All of the above, plus “Special Thanks” in the film’s credits and a signed DVD of the finished film.
- $1,000 = All of the above, plus listed in the Partners section of The Eyes of Thailand web site.
- $5,000+ = All of the above, plus a private screening for you and friends, plus a Q&A with me about the film.
Next, I’m hoping you can help me spread the word about my trip. The October 8, 2010 blog post contains a copy of the Press Release about my upcoming trip. Please read it and then share the official link with your press contacts. We’re hoping this goes global, so don’t be shy!
Finally, I’ll be blogging and posting updates on Facebook and Twitter from Thailand and Laos, so you can follow my progress. You can access all the updates via “The Eyes of Thailand” web site.
Thank you for continuing to support my quest to tell the world about the plight of the Asian Elephants and the ongoing threat of landmines. I could not do it without you!
Gratefully,
Windy Borman
Director/Producer, The Eyes of Thailand
P.S. Donations of any size help and all donations are tax-deductible when made through the San Francisco Film Society. You can donate by either clicking the “Please Donate” link on the The Eyes of Thailand web site. Thank you so much! Krup kum ka!
