A LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Dear Film Cincinnati Community;
Film Cincinnati has raised over $30,000 of funding from merchandise sales and donations from The McLane Foundation, The Haile Foundation, The Greater Cincinnati foundation, and The Kroger Co. Proceeds go towards $100 Kroger gift cards for all crew members.
We are exceptionally grateful for the production crew in Cincinnati. The life, professionalism, friendship, and talent you bring to set is insurmountable. The vitality you add to Cincinnati is appreciated beyond the film community and by many. These gift cards might not answer all of your problems, but they are a token of Cincinnati's gratitude as well as the film commission's for the incredible work you have done in our city and for our city. You are not forsaken or forgotten- better days are ahead. #FCCARESFORCREW
Stay united, safely,
Kristen Schlotman, Executive Director of Film Cincinnati
