with a little help from our friends...

Filmmaking is collaborative. Most filmmakers know this, some don't, but we're not gonna worry about them, because truly film is a collaborative effort from beginning to end.

jumping off bridges is a film made possible by many of our friends and I just want to take a minute to thank some the ones who have made our fall premiere a reality.

When we first set out to do a fall premiere, we knew the odds were against us, but has that ever stopped a Storie girl? I think not. In fact, it just makes us that more determined, besides, we have some kick ass friends and with them, we can pretty much do anything.

So, here's a list, not by any means complete, not in any particular order, either:

• in Seattle: Meg Donohue of Broadway Performance Hall in Seattle, Jeff Thomas, a Seattle filmmaker and dear friend who is producing the screening for us and Clare Aronow who is helping greatly with publicity, while pregnant even.
• in Tallahassee: Dan of the Tally Film Society
• in Jacksonville: Tim Masset of the San Marco Theatre
• in Birmingham: My Uncle Ernie
• in Los Angeles: Jen Prince, producer of Eve of Understanding, an excellent excellent film which you all must see.
• in Orlando: My old friend Christa
• in Minneapolis: Jane Minton, IFP
• in Grand Junction, Colorado: John Anglim, one of my dearest friends
• in Fort Worth: Maggie the Great, David Lowery, Gary Payne and James M. Johnston, Underground Filmmaker/Vegan Chef
• in Dallas: Mandy Spain
• in Chicago: Elizabeth Donius, IFP
