THIS PROJECT WILL ONLY BE FUNDED IF AT LEAST $50,000 IS PLEDGED BY SATURDAY JULY 21, 2012.INOCENTE has been accepted to several film festivals including Hot Docs International Film Festival, Cleveland International Film Festival, and the Melbourne International Film Festival.. It has also already won three awards: the Special Jury Award for Inspirational Filmmaking at the Arizona International Film Festival, the Short Film Spirit Award at Awareness Fest, and Best Short Documentary at the San Antonio Film Festival. Thanks to the generosity of our producers and post house we have completed the film’s production and editing but still need to pay deferred costs and to complete final deliverables (creating HDCam tapes, Digibeta tapes, Blu-rays, and DVDs in the correct formats) for TV and community film screenings.

We also need to complete production of a website that provides information on Inocente, the film, screening dates, the filmmakers, and the issues documented in the film. We also are designing and printing posters and key art to help market and promote the film at festivals, screenings, and special events. Finally, we are also writing free, downloadable companion curricula for teachers and creating an arts workshop template for community organizations that will incorporate the arts into core subjects and explore the themes and issues of the film to make it more attractive to the educational market.
