Happy Holidays! Update for the New Year
This is a repost of the email sent out to our mailing list in case your email address was removed in the spam purge (see below)
The year is almost over so we’d like to let you know where we are up to with the film series and in particular Saving a Lost Generation. It’s been a hectic year!!!
MAILING LIST PROBLEM
Our mailing list has been spammed so that’s taken some sorting out - hopefully all the real people on our mailing list will safely receive this! The fact that our list was spammed will not in any way affect you - it just meant that we had hundreds of bogus emails signed on to receive information, generating massive amounts of delivery failed messages and further spamming if we tried to send out updates.
PILOT STUDY
We have pressed on with finding a way to run the pilot study so that we can film the before and after sequences. We have found an autism center interested in running the pilot study from their facility with the option to film the ongoing results. The parents of the children attending the center are interested in alternative options of enabling their children to reach their fullest potential so it looks exciting.
Of course we have to raise the capital to set the pilot study in motion, but we have some people working on some major fund raising ideas for that.
FILM OPTIONS
Last month our proposal went to a major broadcaster in the UK who has professed an interest in controversial topics - we think this fits the bill and we’re waiting to hear.
NEW 6 MIN CLIP
We’ve posted a new version of the 6 min clip on the website - it contains some ‘before’ footage of the twins shot when they were having their educational assessment at the age of 5, and we reshot the homeopathic doctor with better sound.
NEW VIDEOS
We also filmed Julie Mann, Finance Officer for NASH and the NASH Foundation, our fiscal sponsor, and Miranda Castro FSHom at the National Center for Homeopathy conference in Seattle earlier in the year and have posted these clips on the website.
EMBEDDING CODE - PLEASE USE IT !
The code to embed a copy of the 6 min clip onto your own website is now available for use - it’s a nice way to show the potential of homeopathy and it couldn’t be easier to link to us - which in turn helps raise our profile. You can find the code on the SALG website and it will stream via youtube (seamless for you).
NEW PRODUCTS FOR SALE - 100% of the proceeds go to the films
Miranda Castro FSHom made a generous donation of her Healing Joint Cream to the project and it is now available for sale on the SALG website - see the link: Buy this and support us!
Author Mo Morrish and Mani Norland of the Alternative Training Programme generously donated a box of The Little Green Book - Homeopathy a Rational Choice in Medicine - a great little book for anyone who wants to better understand Homeopathy and its place in the scheme of things. It’s a must for patients, would be patients, and for any clinic waiting room and is also available to buy on the SALG website under the same link. !00% of the proceeds will go to help the project.
OUR NEXT FILM
While Laurie worked on the pilot study options for SALG, Carol and Luci started work on the next film in the series and have made major progress. We hope to be able to show you that progress early in 2010 and if you are interested in advancing homeopathy as a health-care choice, we’re sure you’ll be as excited about it as we are.
BLOG
Sadly in all the activity the blog got overlooked as a means of communication. I am posting this email on the website in case any of the email addresses were inadvertently deleted when we purged the spam, and will endeavour to post on the blog on a regular basis in the new year to keep you updated on our progress.
THANK YOU!
Thank you for your support and ongoing encouragement. As those of you who have been involved in documentary making will know it can be a slow and laborious process, but we are definitely making good progress on all fronts.
Carol, Laurie and Luci
