Mark your calendars: The World Premiere has tentatively been scheduled for May 6 and 8 in Toronto. Many more details will be available after Hot Docs' official press release on March 23. <br /> <br />At this years' Oscars, three of the five nominated films originally screened at HOT DOCS, including "THE COVE," which won the Oscar for Best Documentary. So, we are in excellent company.<br /> <br />As one viewer of a recent fundraising screening remarked: "Leave them Laughing" is a triumph of the spirit, a cold-turkey cure for self-pity and debilitating trivialities - and, with proper distribution and the enthusiastic reception it deserves, will increase awareness of ALS and those who so bravely live with it -- and hopefully hasten a cure."<br /> <br />We are very close to having the world see the incredibly funny, outrageous and brave Carla Zilbersmith and her struggle with ALS but we need your help! In order to complete the film for the festival, there is still a ton of work to be done - we need more editing and a whole list of music and image clearances, just to name a few examples of what we are working on. Editing and clearances all cost money. We would also like to hire a publicist for the festival itself in order to ensure wide media coverage . However, we don't have nearly enough funds available to cover all of the expenses coming our way. Any assistance you can give would be most appreciated!<br /> <br />How can you help?<br /> <br />It's easy! You can make a tax-deductible contribution via paypal or credit card to the film here:<br /> <br />http://www.documentary.org/community/IDA-resources/fiscal_sponsorship_donate?film_id=3121<br /> <br />To write a check, please go to our website for instructions:<br /> <br />http://www.leavethemlaughingfilm.com/blog/donate/<br /> <br />Would you like to do even more? How about holding a fundraising screening of the entire film in your community. Please contact me directly at the email below for more information.<br /> <br />Appropriate film credits will certainly be given.<br /> <br />Thank you kindly for your consideration and continued support. Together, we can make a difference!<br /> <br />Please stay tuned for Hot Docs updates.<br />Warm regards,<br />Montana Berg, Producer<br />Point Grey Pictures & MagicalFlute Films<br />montana@magicalflutefilms.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36459071.post-62996180751217042282010-03-12T08:23:51.435-08:002010-03-12T08:23:51.435-08:00W..o..w!!

You don't agree with my truth? That's because you are blocked/a Christian/not a Christian/a rationalist/not a..." etc.<br /><br />An old friend of mine has fallen for that and it saddens me very much. <br /><br />So - thanks again.
