In the Summer of 2007, I made a video about "mumblecore", a cluster of movies that have really turned the world of independent film on its head.

A month or so later, Matt Dentler, a blogger and one of the coordinators of the South By Southwest Film Festival, linked to the video and a few others, and all of the sudden, I was getting a lot of attention. I thought, "I got to meet these people!"

There's only one problem: I don't have the money to do it! So I need you to donate. I need to raise $4000 by March 5, 2008--the day before I go down to Austin, Texas. If I can get $5 each from 800 people, then I will be able to meet my goal.
