Thanks for the support Warren. We're now down to the final 6 hours of this campaign and it looks like we'll make out goal. I thought I'd take a moment to thank everyone who made donation. Many of you are on this list. Some I've met in person some I only know through your posts and your films.
I thought I should also mention a few extra things that will might add incentive to those of you still deciding if it is worth it to support us. A few weeks ago I received a message from Richard Bott of the (formerly Chicago, now LA based) video art group Animal Charm who realized this was our twentieth year. Rich said CUFF was among the first festivals to show Animal Charm's work when he and Jim were SAIC students. He also said they had been working some new live performance work that they had yet to show publicly and would love to come back home and help celebrate our 20th year with us. I told him at the time I wasn't sure we had room in our budget for two more plane tickets but I'd see how things went with indiegogo. It now looks like we can make that happen! I've also added a few extra perks that aren't listed on the indiegogo page. Anyone who makes a $50 donation will get their choice of one of the silk screened posters we've done the past three years. Each were designed a printed in signed, numbered editions by their respective artists Jay Ryan, Erin Page and Lyra Hill. If you can donate $100 or more we'll send you one of each. So anyway, thanks again to everyone who has shown support these past few weeks. I hope to see many of you in Chicago in early March!
