OFFICIAL SELECION OZARK SHORTS
Ozark Shorts is starting with a bang!!!!
Last month, we started our free monthly short film screening series in Lamar, Missouri. This month, 3 towns booked. August has 7 towns booked. What a start for Ozark Shorts!!!!
This month's screenings in Lamar and Joplin were amazing. Much thanks to the 66 Sports Bar in Joplin and the Lamar Library for hosting the screenings!
We were scheduled to end July's free screening events with a local free event in Nevada, Missouri this Thursday, July 31st at the Vernon County Senior Center. Unfortunately, that event has been cancelled until further notice due to the senior center not having a physical method of screening films to their audience. The senior center does not have a working TV, projector or other means of viewing films.
It's because of venues such as this that we have created a new Crowdfunding campaign for a cheap film projector for Ozark Shorts to screen at any type of venue.
We need a cheap projector that can
connect to a laptop.
In order to bring the independent short
film world to these small towns in the Ozarks, and let anyone see
them at no cost, we need to provide a form of physical means for
people at these local locations to view these movies as a group.
Free screening events take place at
local libraries, senior citizen centers, churches and various
organizations such as the Lions Club. While some locations have a
screening method to show the films, many do not. Some places have a
projector. Some places have TV's and DVD players. Some places have no
method of screening. We want to bring short films to towns for anyone
to see at no cost. So we need something that is portable that we can
take to different locations to screen these short films to anyone and
everyone.
The cheapest and the easiest thing to
get would be a small portable projector that connects to a laptop.
We've been able to find several cheap
projectors online for under 100 dollars. So with our fundraising goal
of $75, we will be able to purchase a portable projector online and
take it to all locations to screen short films anywhere! Inside or
outside. On a wall or on a bedsheet. It doesn't matter. As long as we
have a way to play these films to the public at no cost, the way they
were intended to be seen, that's all that matters.
Crowdfunding site Go Fund Me has partnered with us to provide a crowdfunding campaign for the projector. You can visit the page here:
