Ohh nothing much.

Except that in 2012 we set the bar pretty high.

Like what?

- Our young filmmakers producing 63 films
- Reaching 50,000+ new viewers
- Taking on Media That Matters Film Festival
- Launching our 1st International Program in Cape Town

How did we do it, you say?

- Love and hard work from Staff, Students, Interns, Volunteers and Partners
- Generous support from our Funders
- Very little sleep, socializing or time to call (sorry mom.)

But that was the tip of the iceberg

We rely on support from our communities, family and friends if we want 2013 to look even half as awesome.

Please help us out by kicking in a few bucks

DONATE NOW! 

*Special Offer*

Donate over $50 and you will receive the MTM11 DVD for FREE!
Remember – all donations made are tax deductible for 2013.

Word to the wise…

Purchasing additional MTM titles (including Pre-Order- MTM12!) will also help us continue our work as well as keep you and your loved ones engaged and informed.

 

Please help us spread the word by forwarding on to fellow students, teachers, staff, friends, family, Facebook’ers, and Twitter followers.
