MONDAY - SEPTEMBER 22, 2008: TIME TO BLAZE A NEW TRAIL

Dear Friends & Supporters Of True West,

We want to thank you for making year five of the True West Cinema Festival a very enjoyable and very successful one. As many of you may have heard or read, year five was officially True West’s final year. Though True West has continued to grow and become more successful (both in attendance and artistically) each year, it is time for those of us who throw this annual party to move on to other exciting western adventures.

We are happy to report that the final year was truly our most successful, but unfortunately has left a lingering bit of debt our festival has to make good on before we can truly close the books. We've passed around the hat here at headquarters and are still coming up a bit short, so here we are, humble hat in hand asking for your support and by that we mean....your cash. To facilitate this we have set up a fundraiser at fundable.com. Just follow this link http://www.fundable.com/groupactions/groupaction.2008-09-16.8180004829 and you can donate securely online!

But wait! We do understand you can't get "somethin' for nothin'" so here's the skinny on what you receive for supporting the cause...1) True West Cinema Festival is a production of True West Inc. a 501(c)3 Non Profit, meaning your donation can count towards your 'charitable giving' come tax time (yes, we will make sure and send you a receipt for your gracious donation!), 2) If you donate $25 or more we will send you a 2008 True West Cinema Festival T-Shirt, and finally 3) If you donate $50 or more we will send you a T-Shirt and a 2008 True West Cinema Festival Bag!

Without your support True West would never have been possible and hundreds of the best American Independent Films of the past decade would never have made it to the big screen in Idaho. We owe you our personal gratitude and our audiences and filmmakers owe you the same. So THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

Happy Trails,
True West

PS. Please pass this along!
