Hi all,
I am one of the reviewers for IndieTalk.com and one of the directors of a film that I reviewed recently has gotten in touch with me regarding a new program that she is trying to find funding for as a way of nurturing new indie talent. Cindy Baer, the director of the film "Purgatory House", and her husband, Matthew Irving (DP on "Waitress", "Waiting", "Monster Man", and "Groove" among others) are decent people with strong ties to independent filmmaking. Cindy asked if I would post the following notice on our site, I got permission from the moderators and I hope that, if you find it interesting, you will take action.
Thanks,
David
