Dear friends,

You’ve seen our latest documentary Holler for Service. We are thrilled to share that the film will have its world premiere this fall at one of Europe’s most prestigious documentary film festivals.

But here’s the challenge: Kellie, the heart and soul of the film, needs financial help to make the trip. She works tirelessly at her hardware store, rarely takes a day off — and she has never left the United States. For her to attend, she not only needs a ticket to Europe, but also funds to pay her staff so the store can stay open while she’s away.

Our goal is to raise $1,000 USD (or more!) to cover her travel and the extra costs of keeping the hardware store running during her absence.

Will you help us make this possible? If we all pitch in a little, together we can give Kellie this once-in-a-lifetime chance to see the film on the big screen. It would mean the world to her — and to us.

Ole and Kathrin (the filmmakers)
