Letter from the Director
Hey Indiegogo,
My name is Jonathan Roberts @jonwasgood, and I’m a senior Cinema major at Ithaca College. Something to Remember is my short film thesis project--some would say the capstone of my college career. Quite the opposite. I want to work on STR after college, and hopefully down the road, turn it into a full-length film. Class after class, my professors would constantly remind me to make films about the things I know or have experienced. So after working in the restaurant industry for four years and with a strong passion for cooking, Something to Remember was born. I’ve always shared a love with not only food but the production and process behind the scenes of making it. This is why I am so excited to share with you what my crew and I have been working on for months! Take a look at our budget breakdown to see exactly where the money is going!

All funds will be spread out to pay for our actors, food for the crew, as well as props and equipment. Currently, STR is in post-production. So not only will all the donations go to reimbursing the productions costs but it will go to the future of the film! With your help, we will be able to get the film in front of as many people as possible. Next semester, my last one as a student, I’ll be living in Los Angeles participating in the Los Angeles Ithaca College program. While there, I plan to use your contributions to enter STR in as many festivals as I can.
Here are the festivals I want to enter:
• Sundance Film Festival
• Cannes Film Festival
• Tribeca Film Festival
• Palm Springs International Festival of Short Films
Please feel free to reach out at jonsroberts7@gmail.com for any questions, comments, or concerns. Any contribution you can make is much appreciated. Help me make Something to Remember the film I know it can be, for everyone to enjoy.
All the best,
Jon
