Dear Supporters:

I want to take a moment to thank everyone who contributed to my Indiegogo campaign. I also want to thank April R. Silver and her team at Akila Worksongs, Inc. for helping me get the word out about the fundraiser. Although we did not meet our goal of raising $60,000 in 60 days, we were able to raise just under $20,000. That is a huge blessing, and I am very thankful to have access to these funds. I am truly excited to get started on Hazing: How Badly Do You Want In? All of your contributions are important to me, and I look forward to delivering another quality documentary film, which is now all the more possible because of your support.

Because of you, I will be able to begin research and development for this film project. I also plan to begin preliminary shooting, possibly this month. My goal is to use these funds to create a work sample to raise additional money for the feature length documentary. I look forward to showing you the tangible results of your contributions. So to everyone who gave to my crowdfunding efforts, large or small, you are the best!

Thanks so much!

Sincerely,
