Camerado Movie and Media Production

Hi-- Got back to Cambodia from the US earlier this month, and now we're starting to hit our stride with a new fundraising effort, coming on the heels of receiving 501 (c) (3) fiscal sponsorship from the Media Alliance in Oakland, CA...not that the fundraising environment is that good these days ;) Anyway, it was refreshing to be back in the US, actually, with a decent level of optimism due to the new Obama administration; was also nice to attend an participate in a world class, "A" level fest, the Florida Film Fest with our movie, " Vuth Learns to Rock ", featuring Jun from Zeppelin Rock Cafe . If you haven’t seen it yet, go see Jun over at Zep café , we’re selling compilation discs for $4 a pop…the split is as follows: Jun $1, Me $1, Vuth $1, Studio ( Camerado ) $1. Anyway, being in a pro exhibition environment for a while makes it all the more evident how problematic some outfits here in Cambodia are when it comes to screening movies without the c...

:: Hello from Camerado :: We are happy to announce that Media Alliance of San Francisco, CA is now a fiscal sponsor for several of our ongoing, innovative media projects in SE Asia. Media Alliance had been a sponsor for Camerado’s first award winning social issue documentary feature, BookWars, and we’re excited to have their vote of confidence once again as a fiscal sponsor for our activities. Fiscal sponsorship means that any support for Camerado is now 501 (c) 3 tax deductible for all US based individual and foundation contributors. Our 501 (c) 3 ability also means we’re now eligible for many grants and foundational support which we weren’t able to access previously…so, even if you can’t offer a direct contribution, any referrals to grants or foundational support is appreciated! For our friends around the world who aren’t covered by the US tax code--we still welcome any financial or in-kind contributions you can offer: we’d be happy to offer you a visible credit for an...
