Dear Friends,

   This will be our seventh festival in as many years and it promises to be our biggest and best one yet.  This year we'd like to list you in the credits for helping to make this memorable event a reality. 

   As you can imagine, there are some pretty hefty expenses associated with staging an event of this magnitude and being a non profit organization we rely, largely, on donations to cover those costs.  Yes, we are going to ask you for a contribution here, but we promise to give you something in return:

- World-wide recognition on our busy websites,

- Recognition in our digital program which will be viewed by everyone at the Film Fest,

- Exclusive VIP All-Access Passes for the entire four day event,

- A full size collectors’ edition of the 2008 Great Lakes Independent Film Festival poster. This poster is 11” X 14”, printed on heavy stock and signed by innovative artist, Jeremy Beightol.  It looks great - with or without a frame – on any wall or door.

   Your tax-deductible contribution will make a big difference.  And we'll be sure to let everyone know that you helped to make this event happen.  Please help out by choosing one of the options below.  Just click on the "Make a Donation" button below and it will take you to our Pay Pal page.
