Witnesses<\/em> film project<\/a>? \u00a0Where does it stand? \u00a0How is it coming?<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
Our fundraising has been quite successful. \u00a0We\u2019ve raised most of the money that we budgeted for the basic project, and we\u2019re still hoping for at least one major pledge to come through.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
We\u2019re currently scheduled to begin actual filming \u2014 first in eastern Canada and the United States and then in Utah \u2014 in September of this year. \u00a0Our goal is to release the film in Fall 2020, although we haven\u2019t yet set a specific date and won\u2019t do so for quite a while.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
We hope, among other places, to show the film in theaters \u2014 including a formal premiere, presumably in Utah, to which donors and supporters will be invited. \u00a0Our aim is to get the feature film (for which I received the latest revised script just last night) and the accompanying documentary in front of as many eyes as possible, in hopes of raising awareness of the witnesses to the Book of Mormon. \u00a0In addition, we will also be creating an as-yet undetermined number of \u201csnippets,\u201d short films \u2014 averaging probably around 3.5 minutes in length \u2014 that will be made available at no charge on the Interpreter Foundation website. \u00a0They will provide a wealth of in-depth interviews and supporting material. \u00a0We\u2019ll shortly launch fundraising for them.<\/p>\n
