Josh Bernstein sits down with Tom Lovejoy to interview him for the 2010 Minds of Mountainfilm series.
I just found out today that the kids in the Movies That Matter student program were blogging during the festival this year. Check out the archives here.
The students in the Movies That Matter program: Edgar, Alexi, Geo, Sunny and Shannon from DC with Ana, Ashley and Zach from Colorado.
If you want to support spine surgery for Prudence Mabhena, featured in the film Music by Prudence, we have gotten some information from Rick Hodes:

The cost of spine surgery alone would probably be in the area of $7500-$10,500. I don’t know how much hand surgery might cost. With airfare, plus the cost of housing and her attendants, we’re probably talking about $18,000- $20,000.
Anyone who wants to help Prudence can donate to JDC and we’ll take care of the rest. It is tax-deductible and the easiest way to do this is to go to my website: Rickhodes.org then click on donate.
The donor has to click on “CHECK HERE IF THIS GIFT IS A TRIBUTE TO SOMEONE.” They should type in “Prudence”, so it goes to the right budget line.
100% of funds designated to Prudence will reach her, no cuts are taken out along-the-way.
All my best,
Rick
