The Ann Arbor Film Festival ENDANGERED Campaign

During the 2007 season the Ann Arbor Film Festival was an endangered species, under threat of extinction. This video launched the AAFF's successful "Endangered" fundraising campaign, which raised more than $80,000 in 4 months.

Good promo. Sad that funding was cut. Hope you can show my two queer films, "all natural" and "Couples." I guess they're controversial because suddenly we're back in the 50's.

I was wondering when the direct affects of a conservative reign would finally fall upon my life. 75,000 be very attainable for such an important and noble cause. Lets make it happen.
