There is hope again for Tedy´s movie...

You may have noticed that posts have been more scarce lately and our "artists" will again accuse me of forgetting them....
As I wrote earlier, I have been quite busy with "post-project" and administrative tasks. But I have to admit that some more reasons, doubts and questions might also be responsible for my silence of the last four weeks: When will Schott finally give us an answer about the author´s rights for the film? Will we be able to gather the necessary funds to pay them? When will the première take place? When and How will the project go on?

And then, yesterday, a sunray blinded me whencatching a glance of the association´s bank account:

Nathan and his form had achieved a small miracle:

Nathan is Klaus´s 8 year old son. After his father had left him and his smaller brother Fabian with their grand parents for two months in the summer when he went to Bucharest to take care of the participants, Nathan decided with his schoolmates and his school in Bubenreuth that the proceeds of the Christmas bazar which they organized last weekend should go to the project, as a contribution to the production of Tedy´s movie.

They produced some beautiful handicrafts and Christmas decorations, sold them with cakes and other goodies together with their parents on nicely decorated stands and guess how much they took in?

The fantastic sum of 650 €! AMAZING!Congratulations and thousand thanks to all!
And this came precisely at a moment when we were wondering whether we would be able to carry on the film project.



So, dear participants, don´t tell me again that nobody thinks of you and that we have forgotten you since the end of the project, when a whole school has been thinking of you and working for your project for weeks!

Yesterday also, Julia Diterich, a young Munich pediatrician and one of our most generous sponsors (which doesn´t mean that she is a millionnaire....) transferred her latest savings to the association´s account; for her part, Stefanie Moog (who had also come to Bucharest especially for the performance and was a precious helping hand in the last hours before the performance) announced that she would organize a slide show and lecture on the project in January. And so will Klaus and I.

So, there is hope again and who knows? The may be more miracles before the film is ready.....
