If you enjoy LGBTQ film and supporting the people who MAKE LGBTQ film then you might want to consider donating to Three Dollar Bill Cinema’s current fundraising drive, the Hospitality Filmmaker Fund!
TWIST: Seattle Queer Film Festival is just around the corner (October 11 – 21, 2018) and Three Dollar Bill, the producers of the annual festival, want to be able to bring in as many out of town filmmakers as possible to be a part of this year’s screenings. Having the filmmakers is fun AND fascinating and a change to interact with the artists behind the films that showcase our community.
Below is more info on how you can help with your pledges and what those pledges will “buy”. There are numerous levels you can donate at from a cup of coffee up to plane fare!
Help Us Welcome Filmmakers to TWIST 2018!
We are privileged to welcome directors, producers, writers, subjects, and actors from all over the globe to Seattle to converge for a weeklong celebration of Queer cinema. An important venue in the Seattle film scene—and the social event of the season—the festival provides unique opportunities for visiting and local filmmakers to engage and entertain over 10,000 attendees. This year, we need your help funding travel expenses for filmmakers for the 23rd TWIST: Seattle Queer Film Festival. Our goal is to raise at least $2,500 to supplement our Filmmaker Hospitality Fund to assist in covering airfare, lodging, transportation, and meals.
GIVING BENEFITS
Give as much or as little as you can, every donation helps to get us to the goal! Do you have airline miles, hotel points, or similar types of rewards you’d like to donate? We will work with you to get that started, contact development@threedollarbillcinema.org.
