CHLOTRUDIS ANNUAL FUND PLEA

Happy Fall from the Board of Directors of the Chlotrudis Society for Independent Film! We hope that you have enjoyed a year full of wonderful independent films! We want to thank you for all the support you’ve given us over the years, and ask for that support again.

The Chlotrudis Society for Independent Film (CSIF) is a non-profit, membership-driven organization whose main funding comes from its members and supporters, and, to that end, we ask you to give generously to our Annual Fund. Whether you donate $25 or $1,000, your tax-deductible contribution will help our grass-roots organization flourish and support both artistic expression and educational endeavors.

CSIF is committed to teaching audiences to view films actively and to increasing awareness about independent, international and documentary film. As a volunteer-run organization, every dollar you donate will go directly to funding our programs and events. Here are some ways your donations will help Chlotrudis:

• $25 will pay for food for one session of the Sunday Eye Opener.


• $50 will pay our web hosting services for three months.


• $75 will pay for the Post Office box for 6 months.


• $100 will pay for screener DVD distribution to members before voting.


• $150 will pay for food at the Short Film Festival Member Screening.


• $250 will pay our monthly loan payment


• $500 will pay to bring one guest to the Annual Awards Ceremony.


• $750 will pay the discounted rental fee for the Awards Ceremony at the Brattle Theatre


• $1000 will pay for the Noir After Party

Donations are fully tax-deductible and can be mailed to the address below, or via PayPal through our membership page.

Thanks for supporting the Chlotrudis Society for Independent Film,

Chlotrudis Board of Directors

Of course, another way to support CSIF is to become a member and participate in events. Any way you participate makes Chlotrudis a more vibrant and active organization. Join in on the fun with other members, and get more involved in some of the following ways:

• Make your opinion count and participate in the nominations process for the upcoming awards ceremony.


• Vote for the annual Chlotrudis Awards


• Join the Chlotrudis online discussion and share your opinions about the movies you have seen.


• Write a brief piece for Mewsings, the Chlotrudis blog.


• Take part in the next season of the Sunday Eye Opener (in partnership with the Brattle Theater, Cambridge) kicking off in late January.


• Finally, give us some feedback. What would you like to see Chlotrudis doing? What are we doing that doesn’t interest you at all? If you live out-of-state, what are some of the ways Chlotrudis could help you get something started in your area?

Help Chlotrudis become ever more successful – let us know what other events or activities you think members would enjoy. Please help out in anyway you can.
