TRANSCEND the film

Had a very small screening in Tulsa for the film. Got great feedback from most. We need to do sound mixing, but all things considered, it looks very good. I am having a hard time raising funds to finish the film. I've asked friends to contribute for this final stretch. The economy is making sure that those contributions are slight to say the least. I have never been in a situation were my living quarters were in jeopardy but here we are. If help arrives by July 16th, I will be able to possibly keep my place. I can't down size anymore than I have. And at this moment I should be asking myself if it was all worth it. Money has come and gone to pay expenses and now my account nears zero. Usually in these situations, I find a way to win but right now I don't know. It has taken a serious amount off resiliency, hope and determination. All of that is dissipating. I don't have anything to fall back on and things are in danger of coming undone. Do I panic? No. Do I choke up and freeze? No. All I can do is continue to fight and hope to be delivered. If we can get over this part we will have accomplished something that never has been realized in a short period of time. The question is whether or not money will trump the creativity that Inclusion in Art has leaned on all this time.
