CAMERADO now 501 (c) 3 tax deductible--support our important social issue media projects

:: 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 any
contributions.


:: SUPPORTED CAMERADO ACTIVITIES INCLUDE

1) CAMBOFEST – Cambodia’s first internationally recognized independent
movie festival, now in our 3rd year. Produced by Camerado under
extremely challenging conditions, with minimal financial support
(mainly out of pocket and via filmmaker entry fees) up til now
(www.cambofest.com

).

Our immediate needs include: hardware & AV equipment, venue rental,
staff compensation, outreach and advertising, office space and
operational costs, training for staff.

Contact us at camerado@camerado.com [subject line CAMBOFEST] to see
how you can be a part of CamboFest!

2) CAMBOTUBE – A Youtube-style video sharing community for Cambodia
and the region (www.cambotube.com). Produced by Camerado as a
grass-roots media undertaking, and "important tool for democracy" –
The Cambodian Daily.

Our immediate needs include: robust broadband internet (pricey in
Cambodia), dedicated hardware & AV gear for content origination, staff
compensation, office space, server rental, outreach and promotion.

Contact us at camerado@camerado.com [subject line CAMBOTUBE] to see
how you can be a part of CamboTube!

3) "FREEDOM DEAL" – A new social issue drama (ala "Blood Diamond") in
active development to shoot in Cambodia and Thailand. Camerado’s third
feature, "Freedom Deal", is the story of two internally displaced
persons during the US incursion into Cambodia in May 1970. This
innovative feature film is the first-ever dramatic feature about the
little-known Cambodian aspects of the US-VN conflict.

"Freedom Deal" also welcomes Kent State Alumnus & legendary DEVO
co-founder Bob Lewis and Cambodian rock n’ roll-scholar Matt Caron
onboard as advisors.

Our immediate needs include: financial support for research and
development of the first draft of the screenplay, to be workshopped on
location with local communities in the Cambodian-VN border regions;
travel costs; script reading and translation; final polish of Draft #1
of the screenplay, staff compensation.

:: Stills, Video, and Other Content from CAMBOFEST's Historic 3rd Edition ::

CamboFest was held for its 3rd (2009) edition, in the vintage 'Royal' cinema house in Cambodia, a pre-Khmer Rouge era Cambodian cinema hall which CamboFest brought back to life with a custom screen installation, generator, and all digital projection system. Before CamboFest 3.0, not even longtime local expats living in the area realized that the 'Royal' had once been a cinema house (of course local Cambodians remembered it well). The Royal had been used as a warehouse for water containers for years, ever since closing as an active cinema hall in 1986, and CamboFest staff only just found it by accident while scouting another vintage venue nearby. CAMBOFEST Grabay Meas ('Golden Buffalo') award winners  for the 3rd Edition are listed below -  CF2009 Stills in the series below by top Phnom Penh photographer, Simon Toffanello of Monsoon Pictures To cross-reference movie stills against schedule and description, pls see the PDF of schedule and lineup ...

I'm a WINNER!!!!!

Can't believe my luck these days; things seem to be DEFINITELY turning around! For example, I'm now down here at the Tuol Sleng Internet cafe, near the infamous former Tuol Sleng prison S21 [now a museum to the Cambodian Holocaust], where the Khmer Rouge held and tortured thousands of innocent men, women, and children. I'm just chillin'and drinking a Pepsi after teaching my wealthy government minister English student on the other side of town--the one who lives in a Sky blue mansion behind razor wire--and getting ready to hit Babel studios where our short demo / fundraising trailer of the Jarai hilltribes is about to be finished .... ...when I check my email to find that I have (once again!) won a MAJOR LOTTERY!!! Here's the message from the lottery president (?) , a Mr. Donald Duke--from London England: [*note, my response to him is included ] ==========>>> YES!!!! I can't f*cking believe it!!! You guys ROCK!!!! I'm already figuring out what I'...
