Bill Huffstutter: Producer in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Greetings, friends! Anagennisi Films is establishing itself as a way to help incarcerated screenwriters and student filmmakers to make the world a more beautiful place through the art of collaborative filmmaking. It is exciting to know that there are so many lives that we as an organization will be able to support in their goals of contributing to society. Any tax-deductible donation you make to Anagennisi Films will go to making these positive contributions that much more effective. As an example, I want to share a small example with you of what the inmate screenwriting contest can do. Below is a statement from an inmate in Texas who is using writing to turn around the ugly that once was and instead create beauty. “What my future holds, I cannot say. However it is my hope to reenter society and exemplify the [positive changes I am making]; to live on the legacies of those I had admired. If my ink will ever dry up, I do not know. It is my prayer that it never will. For while I have written about almost everything under the sun, there is always a new wave, a new wind, a new day. Each day a rock is thrown in the pool of life to make new ripples. These movements and transfigurations must be documented and spoken about. They must be dissected for the everyday person to understand. We are here to emancipate, not incarcerate. My walk continues. My discoveries expand. Regardless of genre, style, form — I am proud to call myself a poet. As Nathalie E. Ilium expressed — “I am from the cast out and the called in”. May this process allow me (and the other poets) to hold on to the better parts of our human selves(sic). And maybe lead our readers to do the same. As an African proverb says: ‘The King fears only the poet. Thank God for the Poet.’” – Kenneth Foster, Texas Death Row Inmate As you consider your end-of-year gifts, please consider Anagennisi Films in those gifts. Your donation is fully tax-deductible and will be used to help inmate writers such as Kenneth Foster and film students from around the country to put their stroke of beauty to the ever-changing masterpiece of this world in which we live. There is no amount too small for the gratitude of a changed life. Please, click the link below today, and help us give the opportunity of making beauty and new life through collaborative filmmaking. And please share this with others you believe may also have an interest in helping Anagennisi Films in its mission to help emerging filmmakers and incarcerated screenwriters contribute their beauty to the rest of the world. Sincerest thanks for your thoughtful consideration, Bill Huffstutter Founder, Anagennisi Films http://fromtheheartproductions.networkforgood.com/projects/7515-feature-... www.facebook.com/anagennisifilms

Hi Bill. I'm RB, Founder and CEO of Stage 32. As a screenwriter, producer, actor and filmmaker, I know first-hand the challenges all creatives face finding work, landing representation, launching projects, securing funding and simply making the connections that will make a difference in their careers. That's why I created Stage 32. Since our launch in September of 2011, the community has grown to 1,000,000+ members representing every country on the planet making Stage 32 the social network uniquely populated with the most creative people on Earth.

This is a network for you, built by you. Like most things in life, the more you participate, the greater the rewards. We ask all new members to pay it forward by inviting 5 fellow creatives to the network and by spreading the word of Stage 32 through other social media sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. The more creatives, the stronger the network. The stronger the network, the more opportunities.

Thanks for joining the movement and for being a part of this most talented and inspiring community. I very much look forward to your contributions.

Thanks, and have a creative day!

RB
