Cinderella at the Ball

Today I continue to work on and strive to complete something that I started, at times only being able to put one foot in front of the other.But as I try to check off items on my to do list I find myself reflecting and comparing myself to Cinderella .I have a film http://spiritoflovemovie.com that is in final stages of editing and is a great tribute to a very humble and silent unsung hero Mike Glenn.He is only silent because he does not toot his own horn unlike so many of today's professional athletes.This man should be in the Georgia hall of fame yet he is not.He should be in the NBA players association hall of fame yet he is not.Why?Well because he never tooted his own horn.He still owns a NBA record which has not been broken.He has contributed so much to the deaf community and various other communities.Not to mention his contributions to the community through the game of basketball through his camp of 33 yrs.All which like this movie has been funded by advertisers or in kind donors.

This is why I feel like Cinderella.I have numerous invitations to screen the film from various people all around the world and across the country,but I like Cinderella do not have a ball gown.Cinderella was only able to obtain her goal of attending the ball with the help of her fairy godmother.At this point even a fairy godfather or god business czar would be welcomed.We still have needs for finishing funds and our indiegogo campaign http://www.indiegogo.com/spiritoflovemoviepostproduction?c=home only has 6 days left.This is where individuals can make contributions for as little as $1.

I have received letters and calls from people saying "well you have so many sponsors names listed on the movie website surely you have raised tons of dollars". Not the case.Many times sponsors are listed because they built and maintained a website,or lodged talent while they were here filming or maybe they provided meals for cast & crew or a much needed service that we needed.

We are in need of $11890 in order to go to the ball.All of the teens involved worked really long and hard to bring this story of purpose,passion,and perseverance to life on the big screen so others would see that as a deaf or hard of hearing teen you do have options.Our other unsung heroes in our story prove regardless of your age and limitations placed on you by society you do have purpose,and your life has meaning.
Through this film we crush stereotypes and shatter silence.Deaf,HOH,and hearing  all working together to attend the Ball and ultimately bring others to the ball.

Businesses can advertise with the film in various capacities which are outside the indiegogo campaign guidelines.Funds for this film have come from individuals and businesses all around the world but since the film was done in Colorado with all local talent we are hoping for a fairy Godmother with Colorado roots,who loves sports,and loves crushing stereotypes.
