Week one down and we are 5% towards our goal. Thank you to those who have given within our first week. There is still time to give!
A few years ago I learned that a couple of my friends and family members were victims of sexual assault. After this revelation, three questions kept gnawing at me:
· After the assault is committed, what happens to them?
· How did they heal, or how are they healing, in the aftermath?
· How did we, the community, play a part in that healing, if any?
These questions ignited a passion to discover the answers. According to the U.S. Department of Justice and the RAINN website, every two minutes someone in the U.S. is sexually assaulted (2006–10). By the time you finish reading this email another individual will have suffered this tragic event. That is an unsettling thought to me and I want to do more.
Set to premiere later this year in the DC Metropolitan area, Unheard follows the lives of multiple individuals who have been victims of molestation and/or rape. In a world where sexual abuse is sensationalized, Unheard looks at the journey in the aftermath. It breaks the boundaries and stereotypes of what sexual abuse looks like. It is not a poor crime, a gender specific crime, or a crime against a certain age or background.
It is our responsibility to know our role and make a change. Help us tell their story. The MDP team is working hard to explore all avenues to meet our financial goals and have set out to raise $1000 in the next 30 days. You can give either by mailing a check (made out to MaineDrama Productions, LLC) to the mailing address below, or via Paypal at mainedramapro@gmail.com. And don't forget to keep watch of our goal progress at the bottom of this blog.
As a reminder, your contribution will go towards equipment purchase, props, and craft service for the cast. Each contribution level receives an incentive:
And as always, if you cannot give financially, pass along the word. Forward this email, our information, and the link to our trailer. Word of mouth is a powerful tool and we cannot raise awareness about Unheard without you!
