more good news about the For Aaron film

Another email I received about the For Aaron film...
I just wanted to pass along the results from a wonderful weekend at the New
Hope International Film Festival in New Hope, PA. I know a lot of you were
there and we thank you for your support!!! We were blessed to be nominated
for FIVE awards, including: Best Documentary Award, Indie Artist Award, New
Hope Award, Audience Choice Award, and Artistic Spirit Award. We took home
TWO wins for the Audience Choice Award (thanks to all of you) and the
Artistic Spirit Award...Aaron is still working his magic!


One of the most incredible moments from the film festival was after our
screening during the Q&A period. We were discussing the film's status and
it's goal of keeping Aaron's memory alive through the film and the
scholarship fund.  A gentleman (whom we had never met before) raised his
hand and offered to donate $1000.000 to the Aaron Klinger Memorial
Scholarship Fund - he wrote the check on the spot! We also made some
incredible contacts and connections that will help us continue to tell
Aaron's story and hopefully obtain distribution!


Thank you once again for all of your support - next up - the Bicycle Film
Festival in Washington DC on August 6. Please check our facebook page for
