BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: WE HAVE BEEN IGNITED!

Posted on Tuesday, January 15, 2013.

Dear ST5 Friends,

We have been IGNITED! THE SECRET TRAIL 5 has been selected by HOT DOCS as their featured DOC IGNITE project.

Check out our pitch video. We are happy and proud to show you an EXCLUSIVE LOOK at footage from THE SECRET TRIAL 5.

For the next 36 days, The Secret Trial 5 is teaming up with Doc Ignite to raise $15,000 to help finish our film!

This is an incredible opportunity for us, and it came along at just the right time. We are headed into post-production, and are hoping to finish editing the film by Fall of this year. A successful Doc Ignite campaign will help us achieve this goal. It would allow us to pay an editor full-time, and cover other technical costs associated with finishing a film. Hot Docs is huge! They are North America's largest documentary festival, and will help us reach a whole new crowd of people who we hope will support us as passionately as you have.

But we still need your help. Please spread this email far and wide, and share this wonderful news through twitter and facebook. Encourage people to contribute! To those of you who have been waiting for the perfect time to donate, this is it! Doc Ignite is offering some wonderful incentives for people (including DVD Boxsets, a signed book, and tickets to special screenings), so those of you who have supported us before, please consider doing so again.

This is it everyone, we're in the home stretch. It's been a long 3 years but we haven't lost sight of our goal, which is to make a powerful and touching film about the individuals and families affected by security certificates. A successful campaign would bring us one step closer, please help us get there. Raising $15,000 in only 36 days will be incredibly difficult, but we know we can do it with your help.

Thank you very much for continued support. We deeply appreciate it.

Amar and Noah
