YET ANOTHER FUNDRAISER

Join us at Central Cinema for yet another fundraiser!

We’ll have…

BEER in the year 2000, handcrafted by L2K Producer Derick Avitt!

AUDITIONS for your chance to guest star in L2K

MUSIC!

Electronic Music by Electrosect and a live set by the Landord-Tenant Act -- Bobby Taylor (best harmonica player in the world) and Patrick Hagerty (gay country music pioneer) playing old-time favorites.

We'll have a great time, and for hopefully the last time (unless you'll happen to be on the East Coast in October) we'll ask for your tax-deductible support.

We only need $10,070 and then we can start shooting this turkey. And save the world.

If you cannot make it and would like to donate anyway, you can make a tax-deductible contribution to support Love in the year 2000, by making a check out to Northwest Film Forum/L2K and mailing it to:

David Miller
Charismatic Leader Films PMB 728
1122 East Pike Street
Seattle, WA 98122

Northwest Film Forum charges a 5% administrative fee, so if you're unconcerned about a tax deduction and want me to get the whole donation, feel free to make the check out to David Miller.

We can also accept credit card contributions online through our sponsor Fractured Atlas. Love in the year 2000 is a sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a nonprofit arts service organization. Contributions on behalf of L2K are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.

This is a one-minute trailer for Love in the year 2000, compsed of test footage and concept art. This trailer stars Bethany Clear and Brian Saltzman, features art by Robert Rini, and title design by Pat Moriarity. And anonymous voice over narration that I'm sure everyone will love.

Funding provided in part by 4Culture.

LOVE IN THE YEAR 2000 IN THE YEAR 2009

Turns out I was over-optimistic about a couple things, both my ability to handle two films consequentially, and how exhausted I would be after the first one wrapped. It's now been three months, and hey, things are picking up.

There's a teaser up on the Yonder site. There'll be more in the weeks and months to come as we whip things in shape for festivals and of course the inevitable threatrical run.

Now we lurch into pre-production on Love in the year 2000. We need to raise about $10,000 more, and then it's a go. We'll probably shoot one or two sections of the script in March. So, keep checking in for information on fundraisers and screenings and such.

Donations are of course welcome.

UPDATES FROM THE YEAR 2000

This blog has been curiously dark, of late. I've been producing Matt Wilkins' new feature, Yonder, and we're entering our fourth week of production. The movie is half-way shot, but there's still half-way to go. I'll start fundraising and pre-producing L2K again in October.
