Just a little note to express my gratitude for NYSCA and the IFP's support of my film a DROP of LIFE. A DROP OF LIFE went to the IFP in 2005, and your continued support means so much. A DROP OF LIFE also caught Stephen Spielberg's attention and landed me ON THE LOT. As the film seeks to raise awareness about the mounting global water crisis, I am grateful to receive NYSCA and IFP support during such a critical time of the project's development. Thank you for supporting this work with this post-production grant, and for the work you are doing to encourage the work of independent filmmakers.
