[Frameworks] Media Donations

[Shelly Silver]

I'm forwarding below from the wonderful producer Karin Chien.  If you  
have anything useful lurking in your closet, or collecting dust in the  
shelf, nows the time to get it out of the house and put it to good use!

warmest,
Shelly

Dear Friends and Family,

On this eve of Christmas eve, I wanted to take the opportunity to  
write on behalf of my co-production partner, Cine Institute, in  
Jacmel, Haiti. (Apologies for the mass email means of communicating).

I recently spoke to Paula and David of Cine Institute, the only film  
school in Haiti. They've been rebuilding after the earthquake, and  
their graduates have started new community film initiatives.

Cine Institute is in need of camera and editing equipment, in scarce  
supply in Haiti. Their videos are often the only media coming out of  
their region, especially true following the earthquake. They are a  
positive, constructive force in Haiti. They are advocates,  
journalists, artists, filmmakers, and leaders. They are doing what  
filmmakers around the world wish to achieve every day - accessing the  
power of storytelling to enrich and inform their world and ours.

Please email, Facebook, or call me if you have old (or new) digital  
cameras, laptops, hard drives, and DVDs you find you no longer need.  
No donation is inconsequential. There are filmmakers in Chicago, DC  
and New York traveling to Jacmel in the next 3 weeks who can carry  
your donations to the school.

Much love and peace during the holiday season

Yours,

Karin
