ORIGINAL PRINT RAFFLE.

I've always felt that making a film is like having a baby. It is so much more work than you could ever imagine — but in the end, it is worth all the frustration, anxiety and pain.

ORIGINAL PRINT RAFFLE —

In 72 hours, my fund-raising opportunity for my thesis film FIRELIGHT is over. We will be, as they call it, "budget locked." Whatever amount we have in the bank is what we will have to make the movie with.

The reality is that we are $1,500 short of what we absolutely need to make this film successful.

SO. In a last-push effort, I am doing something I've never done before: Offering an original print of my landscape photography in the form of a raffle.

What's in it for you:

I have chosen seven (7) of the very best of my landscape photographs. The winner of the raffle gets to chose any one (1) of the seven, which will then be professionally printed to current archival standards (chemical print, not inkjet) at the best lab here in Los Angeles. It will then be signed by me and shipped to your residence.

The print size will be circa 16x20" and will be pre-cut to a standard frame size, so that when you receive it, it's ready to be dropped in a frame and hung on your wall.

My usual price for a 16x20" original print is $500 USD. You have the opportunity to win one for a fraction of that price.

THE RULES:

In order to enter the raffle, go to our FIRELIGHT website and donate $25 USD to the film.

This is important:

In the box that says "A Note For Us" you must type "Original Print Raffle." This will enable us to know who is a part of the raffle.

This raffle begins now and ends in 72 hours.

The winner will be contacted on Friday, and I will publicly announce it on Facebook and my Blog here. When you've won, simply tell me which image you want, and you'll receive it within 2 weeks.

I hope you'll be excited about this opportunity. My prints have been collected and exhibited all over the world. Landscape photography is my great personal passion, and I love sharing my favorite places on earth with others. Trust me when I say that the physical prints put these internet copies to utter shame.

If you've already donated to the film, thank you, but I hope you'll see this as a chance not only to help even more, but to get something special for yourself out of it as well.

Best of Luck — and please spread the word!

Sincerely,

wesley johnson.
