Help an independent filmmaker working on an extraordinary true story

[DCconnect]

November 2, 2011


Hello!!


My name is Joe Hill White. I'm an independent filmmaker working on the
extraordinary true story of God's Army-
a small ill-equipped child army in Burma that ran a successful hit-and-
run guerrilla campaign against the genocidal
forces of the Burmese Dictatorship for almost 3 years in their ethnic
area of Burma (now known as "Myanmar").
The story includes mystical elements, radical student dissidents,
embassy and hospital hijackings, a helicopter
get-away, 56 missing people, and a handful of people who walked away
from it all with their lives. But with as much
as I've shot, I cannot complete this amazing story that NEEDS TO BE
TOLD without your financial help.


I have just begun my Indiegogo.com film fundraising campaign for
"God's Army: The Real Story." Indiegogo
campaigns are short-termed, and therefore feverish in their attempts
to reach each production's desired monetary
goal. Thus I am reaching out to you all and asking you to please join
our effort to advance this film's production,
and consider donating a small amount to the project's production
completion funds. Please consider even giving
between $25-$50 dollars to help us reach our goal of $7500 by the mid
of January. If you want to donate more, please
click on the PERKS amounts to the side of the web page and it'll allow
you to change from $25 to whatever amount
you would like to give.


You can donate either by credit card or paypal. The money raised will
go for one of three things: either a production
trip to Thailand or to New Zealand where we need to get additional
location footage or significant eyewitness interviews.
If we don't reach our goal we're use what money is raised to license
archival news footage that you see presently in the
doc's trailer and short.


ALSO!! - There are PERKS for each level of donation. Posters, various
DVDs, coffee cups, film credits, and some
of my Mom's amazing West Virginia-style Apple Butter are but some of
the perks!! You can donate several times in whatever amount you feel
comfortable giving.


If you can't donate at this time, please consider anytime before
January 2012. If you like the production but at
this time cannot give money, you can still do a couple of things: 1.)
You can post an ad for our campaign in your blog or
twitter the indiegogo address below to your friends. 2.) Or just pass
this information on to someone you who might
be really interested in donating.
