Mikyia mo (Greetings).. We received a communication from the Kwanzaa Film Festival in New York this week that they are interested in screening our film. Their festival takes place during the week of Kwanzaa this year. This is the second film festival that we submitted our work to and the second acceptance. The first one being the Pembroke Taparelli Film Festival which is actually this week in Los Angeles, CA. As mentioned previously our acceptance is significant in the sense that AMARUKAFO ADEBISA: African-American Ancestral Divination in our first film. There are seasoned filmmakers whose films were not chosen while ours was. We are submitting our film to a number of additional film festivals around the country and some outside of the country in the effort to get our film in more theaters. We have more leverage now as many film festivals assess acceptance criteria based upon if the film has been accepted at other festivals. Thus if a film festival receives 500 films and only has 80 openings, they will be more inclined to give consideration to a film that has been accepted by other film festivals because they know it has passed numerous screenings. We do need assistance in this effort as every festival includes a fee to submit (often $50) and there are also deadlines for submission including deadlines for this week. Most film festivals also do not have the budget to cover the transportation costs of all of the filmmakers whose films they select. The crowdfund for our new film that is in progress: HOODOO - Akan Ancestral Religion in North America, is the link below where you can contribute to our effort. When we travel to these festivals, some of the footage of the experience will be included in the new film. Our first film festival event is this weekend, November 7-10th in Los Angeles. Our film will be screened on Memeneda (Saturday) and we have been asked to speak on a panel on indigenous religions on the following day. Myself and Voodoo Queen Kalindah Laveaux will be attending and speaking. Your contribution to our crowdfund will assist not only with travel expenses for this festival, the submissions fees for those festivals whose deadlines are this week and also related expenses for additional 4K memory cards (one good memory card for our 4K camera for example is $80 on sale) for shooting additional footage. Contribute below today and we appreciate your support. Our work will reach a much larger percentage of our people through the film festivals here and around the world: www.fundrazr.com/Hoodoo_Akan_Film Yeda ase... Odwirafo
