CURrENT FUNDING CAMPAIGN:
POST-PRODUCTION, PHASE ONE
SUMMER-FALL ’24
Completion of the initial, rough edit. Includes determining what we’ll need to film in the final segments for Phase 2.
We’re at the start of a three-phase journey to complete the frontotemporal dementia documentary, and it all begins with crucial work needed in the editing room.
This phase is dedicated to creating the initial rough edit of the film, including identification of what content we’ll need to film in Phase 2 in order to complete the film. It’s a large chunk of editing hours that will likely roll over slightly into Phase 3 as well, when the final editing work is completed.
Our total fundraising goal for this phase is only $6,950, and every single donation makes a difference, as we work our way towards the film’s completion in the Summer of 2025.

For clarification, per IRS code, rewards with cash value subtract that value from the tax-deductible amount of the donation. We note this on the final donation receipt you’ll receive from us via email.
If you’d prefer NOT to receive rewards with a cash value (rewards only require funds when we mail physical items to donors), please just let us know. Physical item rewards are marked with a (+) at the end of the reward name.
We’re always happy to send them (they’re budgeted for), but we also know some people prefer we don’t spend funds on rewards. If you’d prefer no rewards with a direct monetary value attached, simply do the following:
1. Click the Add Comment link on the Donation Form, as noted below.
2. Type “No physical rewards please” in the Comment Box, and click the SAVE button.
