[Frameworks] LaborBerlin: 2 days left

[Esperanza Collado]

Friends,

Our colleagues in Berlin need a last push to make it. Please help if you
can. Only 2 days left!

Thank you very much to all that have already donated but now we come to you
in full panhandler mode. We've raised over 23,000 but we need one last
push. We have two days left. So check your pockets, your spare change bowl,
and the inside of your shoes. Steal some from the collection tray in church
or swindle the kid with the lemonade stand. Remember, you can't take it
with you when you die. Anything you give us goes to the Film Gods. May they
shower you with silver halide and gelatin riches.

Thank you, good bye.

Love,
Juan + Anja

Dear friends and lovers of film,

As we hope you've already heard, 2 weeks ago, LaborBerlin, the independent
artist-run film lab that we're a part of, launched a new crowd- funding
campaign called LaborBerlin 2.0 - FILM AIN'T DEAD.

If you have no idea what we're talking about, here it is in a nutshell:

*We are raising funds to purchase professional processing and printing
equipment from Film16, a small German lab that recently closed.  *

*Why?* (Lofty goals) Most professional film labs around the world are
closing and we want to protect analog film technology and ensure the future
of motion picture art.

*Why? *(Practical reasons) The machines are small and perfectly suited for
our space and processing needs.

*Why?* (Brass tacks) We want to keep making films and this is the the way
we've found we can make them. Without the lab and the people there, none of
the films we've made so far would've been possible. We want to make more
and we want our friends in Berlin to make more. That's why we're asking for
help.

We have already received a great deal of support so far (23% of our goal at
the time of this message + 2000€ external donations ). If you've already
helped us out know that we're infinitely grateful. However, we still have a
ways to go so please take a few minutes to look at our campaign page:
LABORBERLIN
2.0 - FILM AIN'T DEAD
<https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/laborberlin-2-0-film-ain-t-dead/x/12950317#/>

When you click, you'll see that we also have a lot of stuff you can take
with you as a reminder of your good deed. We have bags, shirts, and if, you
have a bookshelf or a dvd player, stuff to put on or into those and if you
have walls, and we hope you do, some stuff to hang on them. For those that
have kept your film projector clean and lubricated, we also have some nice
16mm prints (from Jodie Mack and Margaret Rorison) for you to take home and
screen over and over again (no ticket, no festival pass needed). And
finally for those that want to get their hands dirty we have workshops
where you can learn to make your own films to screen when, where and with
whoever you please.

So take a look, give us a hand and thank you for listening.

All the best,
Juan + Anja
