This week, my friend and fellow filmmaker Tony Osso debut's his latest film from The Devotion Project, a series of shorts about gay and lesbian couples in committed long-term relationships. This latest short is especially touching, about a couple in Oakland dealing with the challenges of a chronically ill child. In this moving film, Tony has done it again, telling the story of this beautiful couple in a way that is both honest and touching too.
With the release of this 3rd film in the series, Tony has also started a fundraising campaign on IndieGoGo to keep the project going. You can click here to see a special video starring Tony himself as he explains The Devotion Project and how your donation of even just a few dollars can help. In a year when marriage equality is being challenged with referendum votes in states like Washington, Maryland and North Carolina, it's important to show the real gay families that are out there and the challenges that they face. Rather than "destroying" marriage as some people claim, all they are doing is loving each other while trying to care for and support their unique families.
Have you thought about setting up an account with the online charity donation sites, then people sign up and as they shop on-line a small ammount feeds into you registered charity. It is a good way for most non-profit organisations to make money easily. Ours is based in the UK but there are site in the US too.
