As many of you know, I recently drove across the country to Los Angeles
interviewing people for my documentary about the impact of the film
"Matewan." This has been a tremendous project to be a part of and
something that I will treasure, if the only impact my film has is on the
people I have met along the way.

However, this project cannot continue without the generous
contributions from some of you. While major documentaries have budgets
in excess of a million dollars, I have been able to travel and continue
working thanks to the handful of modest donations I have received, along
with personal debt and credit cards. I have reached the point where I am
in need of further support to continue this project.

If you are able, I would greatly appreciate your contribution toward
this project. Please think of this as another worthwhile present during
the holiday season, or if you'd like, a worthwhile tax deduction.

The Independent Film Project has supported this documentary in several
ways, including allowing me to accept donations through their
non-profit status. Directions on how to make a donation are below. I
appreciate anything you can do to help today and everything you've done
to support me in the past.

Thank you and happy holidays,

Jason Brown

Happy Holidays!

Because the end of the calendar year is a time of increased levels of
giving by individuals, IFP has decided to devise an interim on-line
solution for those of you who wish to bring in quick end-of-year
donations for your projects.

It works like this:
- Donors should go to IFP's page on JustGive.org:
http://www.justgive.org/giving/donate.jsp?charityId=24543

- Donors enter their contribution amount and should MAKE SURE that all
check-off boxes are checked for "give the charity my name, e-mail, and
mailing address."

- Donor MUST enter your project title (THEM THAT WORK)and your name
(JASON BROWN) in the space designated for "designate my donation."
[This is NOT optional, even though it says that it is. We must know to
whom to allocate the donation.]

- Donor then checks "add to basket" and proceeds to check-out. If this
is your donor's first contribution via JustGive.org, they will need to
fill out a name and address profile just prior to checkout. At checkout
they will enter their credit card info and confirm their contribution.

- Your donor will receive an immediate e-mail receipt from
JustGive.org. They will also eventually receive a contribution
acknowledgement from IFP via snail mail.

- If you lose the direct link above, please contact me so we can make
sure your project receives it's expected donations.
