Title: The Illusionists: Insecurity Sells
Post by: Risamay on June 30, 2011, 14:32
Hi there,

Trying to drum up awareness and interest in a friend's awesome documentary film project. Check it out on Kickstarter. I've pledged $250. But any amount of $10 or more would rock.

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1085595579/the-illusionists-documentary-insecurity-sells (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1085595579/the-illusionists-documentary-insecurity-sells)

Funding deadline is Friday, August 5 at 5:55PM EDT. So please take a look, pledge if you can, and share with anyone you think might also be interested in this movie and topic.

Merci!

Cheers,
Marisa

No worries if Elena's work isn't to your taste, Shank. If you know anyone to whose taste you think it may appeal, please pass on the link.

Thanks, Cas. I'm a huge fan of Elena's and I think this project is going to result in a really exciting and educational final cut. That's my feeling anyway, based on the bits she's released thus far.

A very worthwhile project.  Good for her.  I hope she can make a difference.

She might be interested in this - a campaign run by The Body Shop many years ago when Anita Roddick was still alive.

Edit:  Sorry I posted the ad link here too, but not sure if that's permitted any more.

If you google:  body shop ruby doll

and check the image results, you can see the original ad.
