Hi EAC members,
My name is Susie and I'm the tour manager for the Wild & Scenic Environmental Film Festival, a traveling film festival hosted by environmental organizations across the United States.
We would like to invite the partners of the Energy Action Coalition to host the film festival on their college campuses. We commend your efforts to mobilize students around your Campus Climate Challenge. Wild & Scenic On Tour uses film to inspire activism. It is a great event to rally your student body and college administration around your efforts. It makes a great fundraiser too! The films bring people together and foster a common ground where people of all interests can start looking at solutions to the environmental crisis.
Please visit our website for more information, http://www.wildandscenicfilmfestival.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=28&Itemid=34on-line.
Our turn key program makes it easy and affordable. We have are offering a discounted rate of $1000 just for EAC members (normally $1500). The discounted rate is only available for student-organized, college, environmental organizations. You organization may be eligible for a $500 Wild & Scenic Grant from Patagonia. If your organization is a 501c-3, is membership based and works within the surrounding community on direct action campaigns, you are eligible to apply. The grant will offset your tour fees. You are welcome to get sponsors or ask the university to cover your other costs. Deadline for submitting your application is June 15th for shows scheduled between August-March of the 2007/08 school year. If you need an extension, just call and we can make arrangements.
Contact me if you want to use film to inspire activism!
Susie
p.s. the festival would fit well at your summit meetings or as annual event on campus.
