How you can help this project
To date, this entire project; time, equipment, and supplies has been completely out of pocket. After taking two years to plan and film this documentary, and one more year to edit it, our family funds have run out. This documentary is in now in post-production and I would greatly appreciate any amount that you could contribute to help complete this. I have found three professional filmmakers to advise me in post-production and I am really excited about what this can be. Also, please spread the word to anyone you know who might be able to help.

We are using the website Fundable to help us raise the money. To contribute go to www.fundable.com , search at the bottom of the page for Educating for Human Greatness and thanks for giving whatever you can. Anyone who donates $25 or more will get a credit at the end of the film. Anyone who donates $50 or more will also get a DVD copy. Anyone who donates more than $50 will get my eternal gratitude!
