The Little Mountain Campaign

Just over one week into our Indiegogo campaign and things are starting off well. So far we’ve raised $2,355 from 25 different supporters and are thankful for every penny (oh I guess we don’t do pennies anymore – we’re thankful for the nickels then!).  It has been inspiring to see the word about our campaign spreading to old and new supporters – thank you to everyone who has shared the project.

“The story of Little Mountain… helps us to remember that there was a living breathing community here” – David Chudnovsky.

I just posted an incredible video from former NDP MLA (Vancouver-Kensington) and BCTF President who played a huge role in protesting against the destruction of Little Mountain and continues to be a vocal supporter of social housing and action against homelessness. Find him on twitter @DavidChudnovsky. Watch the video HERE

Persistence of Vision: the Documentary Filmmaker.

“Making documentaries takes stamina, determination, passion, and consumes years of a filmmaker’s life.”

Michael JS Cox took the time to sit down with me to do an interview about the incredible journey I’ve been on over the last 6 years as I documented the events at Little Mountain. This was for his podcast Conversations with Courage. Listen to the podcast here:

 

We’ve also got some great new pictures up: http://www.littlemountainfilm.com/?gallery=photo-gallery See if you can find yourself somewhere in there!

Don’t forget to check out our Indiegogo pagehttps://www.indiegogo.com/projects/little-mountain-film/ , Twitter, and Facebook. If you know someone that might take an interest in the project send them a note! We’re trying to reach as many people as we can. The lessons of Little Mountain should be shared far and wide. Let people know.

Finally, remember that even the smallest of contributions will add up to make a huge difference in bringing this film to life. That’s the beauty of crowdfunding. If enough people believe strongly enough in the power of community and the importance of social housing to contribute even a minimum amount we can come together to share this incredible story.

Thank you for your continued support!

THANK YOU TO ALL WHO GENEROUSLY CONTRIBUTED TO THIS CAMPAIGN.

I’ve made many new friends and contacts in the process of running this campaign.  I look forward to delivering the REWARDS of participation to every one of you who chose one, and WITH EVERYONE, I look forward to our continued dialogue on the future of our city.

There are still many ways to contribute to this campaign on line and off line, and we will shortly be making a few updates to the LITTLE MOUNTAIN FILM website in order to make it easy for you to do so.

Sincerely,
