Your Tax Deductible Donation Earns Rewards & Satisfaction

URBAN ODYSSEY chronicles four seasons of unplugged, inter-generational outdoor activities. This short doc features three Boston teens and three retirees who share the belief that their combined “green” efforts will return those of us who’ve lost touch with nature—back to the great outdoors.

How your contribution is utilized

We've completed post production in time for some important festival submissions and other high profile screening opportunities on the horizon in early 2012. The tasks are many, even after a filmmaker has officially declared, "That's a wrap," including color correction, DVD-mastering, DVD-replication, Exhibition Master creation, art & graphic design for posters/DVD, festival submission fees and postage, publicity, outreach & discussion guide materials, and website maintenance. Most independent filmmakers look to you, the viewer community, for support as we move into the exhibition, distribution and community outreach stages.

Any and all donors are gratefully acknowledged in the film's end credits, website, print materials and press releases.

DVD credits and this website are updated periodically to include all current sponsors and contributors.
