Hi,

I hate to ask this because I am on the board of a film fest and I know how important submissions are, but...I am tapped out. I just discovered your fest. Really because someone at the Zebra Poetry Film Festival saw my film and requested a screener. I had no idea there were film festivals that celebrated poetry in film.

Anyway, I am out of money for submissions. But I would love for you to consider the film. Would you consider waiving the fee?

It is a beautiful film, based on the romance between REnee Vivien (who was a poet in early 1900's in Paris) and Kerime, a married Islamic woman. I use her poem, "The Touch" to illustrate their last good bye.

Thanks.
Jane
