Dear Friends and Supporters of Sally!
Happy spring! We have some exciting news to announce! We are now at picture lock, that means the video portion of the documentary is complete. The film is now getting a final sound mix completed and we will be ready to distribute the film in late April. And, we’ll have more news on the upcoming film release!
This film is such a critical document capturing a major development in experimental film in the late 20th century and how Sally played a critical role in supporting those artists. We need to get this film out to the public, not just to audiences who are already interested in experimental film but to a much wider audience. This film also tells the story about how artists and Sally herself had to navigate the patriarchy of the time period to gain recognition and success.
How Can You Help?
We still need financial support. Brigid Maher is finishing the film on goodwill and personal savings. But, we still need funds to pay for distribution insurance (known as errors and omissions insurance), film festival submissions which can be quite costly and to prepare the film for television broadcast. All these costs still require that we reach our 10k fundraising mark. We hope that you could send a donation pitch out to 2 to 3 friends who are not familiar with the documentary with our GoFundMe link (https://gofund.me/5cb3d4d8). This will help us get to the financial finish line while also raising awareness about the film.
We are preparing a marketing plan for the film. We would like to submit it into film festivals, arrange for nationwide public television screenings and arrange a public tour of the film in museums (post-covid). Do you know of a museum, theater or organization that would like to screen our film? Please contact Brigid @ brigidamaher[at]gmail.com.
Thank you again for your incredible support! More updates soon!
