Thanks to contributions so far, we’ve made lots of progress for the film over the past month. Working with our brilliant director, David Goodall, I’ve begun to refine the script for production as he and our producer, Eric Michael Kochmer, interview cinematographers and other key crew members.
Now I must return to the film fundraising. If you know any potential sponsors who might like to tap the benefits of early sponsorship, please forward this information to them. Also, all donations are very welcome, either through GoFundMe or the Support the Film page on the film’s website.
I am preparing the sponsor banner for the film’s website. Sponsors will be prominently displayed on both the Home and Support the Film pages.
The top-level sponsorship includes product placement in the film, but if coming in at a lower level would work better for them at this point, we can always increase their sponsorship later on. That might work well if they decide later to add benefits like custom marketing and even product placement.
For now, as an example, at just $5,000 I can include their logo and link in the website sponsor banner and highlight their sponsorship in the press release.
At $10,000 we could add their marketing materials at the filming events and secure their spot in the special thanks film credits. Sponsor benefits are posted on the Support the Film page of the website.
If you do find a potential sponsor, they can make their contribution using the method that fits their needs:
- For tax deduction, pay through our fiscal sponsor, The Film Collaborative (some fees will apply).
- To ensure their entire contribution goes toward the film, send a check along with the sponsorship form posted on the Support the Film page.
- To pay using a credit card, use the Donate button on the film’s website: ReclaimingEstanislaotheFilm.com
All donations – through GoFundMe or the methods listed above – are greatly appreciated and are going directly to the current expenses to keep the film on track toward production.
And contributing through our fiscal sponsor (link above) is a great opportunity for your year-end tax deductions.
If you know others who might like to sponsor the film or donate with a year-end tax-deductible donation, please forward this on to them.
Thanks so much for your help and for your continued support of Reclaiming Estanislao!
