What We Need & What You Get We need to show Hollywood Studios that our voices count and our stories deserved to be heard! Our goal is to raise a minimum of $5,000 to fund workshops for emerging filmmakers. One of the advantages of being the only Hollywood magazine situated on a major Hollywood studio lot, is the access to major producers. We plan to train filmmaker as journalist, in order to open doors to real film executives that can help their careers. In addition, the funds will be used to cover expenses for our next Film Festival that is scheduled for November 3rd in the exact building where our office is located at Raleigh Studios in Hollywood. Finally, we need funds to cover expenses for filmmakers who cannot afford to pay submission fees and to fund prizes and scholarships for winning submissions. Special Perks that We Offer
But most excitingly, we have wonderful perks. For starters, everyone who donates at least $10 will receive a Signed Copy of Hollywood Weekly Magazine, by our founder and publisher Prather Jackson. Plus you will receive a FREE copy of our collectible and best selling issue entitled “Barack Obama Becomes Our 44th President,” originally published in 2009. Donations of $25 will get a 6-month “print”subscription to Hollywood Weekly Magazine. $95 contributors will receive a special 2-person VIP Pass to our 5th Annual Hollywood Weekly Magazine Film Festival to be held November 3, 2018 in Hollywood, California. And other perks will be announced soon, so check back often.
Risk and Challenges
Like any business there are risk involved. As the executive producer of the Hollywood Weekly Film Festival,I have successfully held 4 consecutive film festivals which started in the Charles Aidikoff Screening Room in Beverly Hills in 2014 and has grown every successive year. I feel my experience coupled with your support will enable this campaign to be successful even if we fail to meet our goals of raising the entire amount of $5,000 that we are seeking. If you wish to support but are unable to make a financial contribution there are other ways to help. For starters, please share this ad and tell your friends to tell their friends about this wonderful campaign. Then send me an email, just to let me know that you are wishing for our success.
