NOTHING IS TRUER THAN TRUTH

As we race toward the finish line with the nonfiction version of Edward de Vere's life story as Shakespeare, I want to thank all of you who have supported the film with your very generous donations of time, research, and resources. Making an independent documentary is a truly collaborative process, and NOTHING IS TRUER THAN TRUTH cannot happen without your participation.

To all of you who contributed to our successful "Shakespeare in Venice" Kickstarter campaign, thank you again. In Italy, we filmed for seven days in Venice, Brenta, Padua, Mantua, and Verona, retracing de Vere's 1575-76 trip, and visiting the sites of the Shakespeare plays. Your NOTHING IS TRUER THAN TRUTH t-shirts will be mailed this month.

To finish editing and be ready for festival deadlines in December, we must raise an additional $10,000 in the next four weeks. Please help us meet this goal by making a tax-deductible donation online through our fiscal sponsor, the Independent Feature Project, at

https://market.ifp.org/newyork/fiscal/DonateNow.cfm?ProjectID=169

All contributions will go directly to post production costs. No amount is too small - every donation helps. With the release of Roland Emmerich's feature film Anonymous, it is critical that NOTHING IS TRUER THAN TRUTH is available to audiences seeking to learn more about Edward de Vere as Shakespeare as soon as possible. Your contribution will help bring the true story of Edward de Vere to audiences around the world.

You can also help us build word of mouth and pre-book screenings at your local colleges, art galleries and theaters. Please contact me directly to schedule screenings.

Thank you very much.
