The real heroes

At that time, they were producing a video on The Killing of Mary Surratt. They are now working on a film about the tremendous struggles of one young veteran and his wife as they overcome his losing portions of both legs and both arms in our current wars. Most of the scenes will tear your heart out.

Laurie, you said that extemely well - "Birthday" is a very powerful 12 minute short film. Here is a note from Chris and Heather:

Hello friends of Watermark Films,
Heather and I hope you had a terrific Thanksgiving weekend.
Happy to say that we did, and the Christmas decorations are already up, thanks to our pushy/eager kids.

As "Birthday" is all but finished, we are now in the process of applying to film festivals across the world.
Since we feel that "Birthday" will have such a broad appeal to festival programmers because of its sweet themes of courage, strength, determination and love, we'll be applying to four times as many film festivals as we normally do.

We typically finance these film festival submissions ourselves, but since we're wanting to get the message of "Birthday" out to so many festivals this time, the cost of this will be much more than we can take on ourselves.

So we're putting out the word for help to those who'd like to support "Birthday" and its festival run.
Please let us know if you would like to be a Executive Producer, or Producer for "Birthday" at the respective contribution amounts below.

(Or if you'd like to be a SENIOR EXECUTIVE PRODUCER and have your own animated logo at the beginning of the film, that option is available too):

$4000 Senior Executive Producer
(25 DVD copies of film, credit in the film, framed & signed poster of film by Actors and Director, your own animated logo at beginning of film, and IMDB listing, your name on the Poster and DVD)

$2000 Executive Producer
(10 DVD copies of film, credit in the film, signed poster of film by Actors and Director, a special Thank You in the film, and IMDB listing)

$1000 Producer
(5 DVD copies of film, Producer credit in the film, a special Thank You in the film, and IMDB listing)

Thank you for your interest and support of this very special short film project which we look forward to sharing with the world this coming year.
Happy Holiday to you and yours!
