| Please, join us. Join us in the cultivation of poetry, the cultivation of the soul. Inspired by Pablo Neruda, we are working to amplify the power of literature.
Our first project is our documentary film on Neruda, and we need your help to finish it so people around the world can be inspired by his passion and learn from his fallacies. We have just secured production help from Mexico's major public television station, Canal Once, but we need a bit more to get to the finish line. Please help.
This summer we have been in production in Chile, filming spectacular shots of Pablo's sea, forests, houses, volcanoes, bookstores... We are creating new sequences to accompany select poems and have filmed intriguing new interviews—all in HD-- before our director Carlos Bolado begins directing a major feature, Solitary Lines, starring Alec Baldwin.
With this new material, we will edit new segments to present to sources such as Latino Public Broadcasting and the Sundance Documentary Fund. But we urgently need your help right now to keep the production running and to edit the new piece.
Our goal is to raise $2000 more by September 15th.
Please join us by becoming a member. Help us finish the film; help our garden to grow. Cultivating poetry, pen over sword. Once the film is out there we will be able to move onto other projects, documentaries and books we have the seeds for in our minds.
Give just $35 right now and you'll get the DVD of the movie when its finished!
We need just at the most four hundred new members to finance our shoot this summer.

- $35 - Free DVD of the movie once it is completed.
