FUNDRAISING UPDATE 17 JUNE 2024

After a hiatus from fundraising efforts, we at NOW HEAR THIS are back at it. Now more than ever we are pushing to bring this beautiful and inspiring story come to life. Please consider donating whatever you are able and SPREAD THE WORD! SPREAD THE LINK! 

This is the most critical item on the NHT agenda currently. The film cannot be made without your help. It truly does take a village to make a movie. As a matter of fact, there is an area on set called "the village!"  A fundraising page for NHT has been set up on gofundme.com for donations. Your donation will be greatly appreciated!

Other ways to help get us going are donating office items, donating food for the starving crew and cast, donating old costumes, and volunteering to help in whatever way you can. Most importantly, spread the word!

With much gratitude,

Megan
