Well, last weekend wasn't just Drag Ball... The House of LeMay got to see the "work in progress" documentary being created about us - Slingbacks & Syrup. Here's a previous post about it. What fun!!! And how exciting. Last Friday Russel submitted this piece to the NewFest in NYC, Frameline in San Francisco and the Provincetown International Film Festival. We should know by the end of April if it's accepted. If that's the case, a finished product will have to be to them by mid-May.
Russell has spent literally hundreds of hours putting this together. There are many expenses that go into creating and submitting films to festivals. Although our good friend Roger Mapes (the infamous Yolanda) has donated his talents and songs to add to the piece, we are still needing additional funds to secure rights to other music that would make Slingbacks and Syrup that much better.
If you'd like to see the House of LeMay reach a worldwide (yes!) audience, please consider donating to this cause. Originally, Russell was hoping to have a working budget of $20,000. He's been working with a LOT less than expected. Slingbacks and Syrup is a sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a non-profit arts service organization. Contributions in behalf of Slingbacks and Syrup may be made payable to Fractured Atlas and are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law. You may make your contribution online at https://www.fracturedatlas.org/donate/1256 or by sending a check made out to Fractured Atlas with “In behalf of “Slingbacks and Syrup”” written in the memo line. Checks can be sent to Russell Dreher, 200 W. 20th, Apt 304, NY, NY 10011.
If everyone who's seen us would send $10... wow. Or if you REALLY like us you could send more. Of if you hate us and never want to see us again... make us famous and send a LOT!!!
Any support you can give will be so greatly appreciated.
