FILM DAY & 25 To Survive
FILM DAY, June 11, 2009 –
IMPORTANT OPPORTUNITY TO BRING ATTENTION TO THE FILM COMMUNITY AND THE NEED FOR THE INCENTIVE INCREASE TO 25%!!!!!!! :
To all the fabulous NC FILM FAMILY, friends and family of the crew: You are all invited and encouraged to join ranks in Raleigh, NC on June 11 from 9 AM – 1PM on Halifax Mall ( 16 W. Jones Street, 27601 – just outside of the General Assembly Legislative Building) to celebrate “Film Day”.
This is a day to celebrate our history as a state of filmmakers and to rally around the cause “25 to Survive”, the need for the increase of NC tax incentives to insure our future as a state of filmmakers. On this day, we would like to show the lawmakers who we are – a group of families and people who own houses, pay taxes and want to live and work in the great state of NC. It is very important to make this a statewide initiative and represent the entire state in Raleigh on that day. It is also important to encourage areas of the state that have not historically been film counties to reach out to filmmakers in order to reap the immediate benefits these incentives can bring to them.
The Cucalorus Film Foundation has graciously offered to be our beneficiary and therefore will help with securing the permit for the location, the insurance and assist in planning this event. All of this is necessary in order to have a well- orchestrated event with the proper permits and liability insurance. We are requesting donations in order to cover the insurance and other costs (printing literature, t-shirts, fuel, stickers) to have a really effective event in Raleigh. You will be able to make tax-deductible donations through the cause page on Facebook or made directly to Cucalorus Film Foundation at: http://www.cucalorus.org/donations.asp
Time is of the essence with the donations – as we will have to have the funds for the insurance in order to proceed with this event. This is our chance to show the lawmakers who we are, what we do and what a terrific group of professionals we are! Please donate to the cause (every dollar counts) immediately and PLEASE make plans to be in Raleigh! This is our opportunity to be seen and heard in Raleigh.
JOIN us in Raleigh…. Celebrate FILM and FILMMAKERS in and of NC!!! PLEASE INVITE ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY ACROSS THE STATE TO COME AND HELP US CELEBRATE AND HOPE FOR THE FUTURE!!! THIS IS IMPORTANT TO OUR FUTURE AS A COMMUNITY. PLEASE PASS THIS ON!!!!!
