As some of you may already know, a celebrated member of the documentary community, Peter Wintonick is very ill. Faced with this challenge, Peter has decided to make another film – but he needs support, as he has given himself to so many. A crowdfunding page has been set up by some of his colleagues to help raise funds for Wintonicks film as well as help with some of the medical expenses he faces. Please take a moment to read below and consider helping if you can! From Peter Wintonicks crowdfunding campaign: Give a Hoot for Pete: Peter Wintonick is a poet, filmmaker, journalist and programmer. A tireless mentor, hes helped almost everyone in the documentary world. Now, he needs your love and support. He was recently diagnosed with Cholangio Carcinoma, a rare form of liver cancer. Some people in this situation would despair; some would call their travel agent and book a trip around the world. Peter, Zen master, is using it as motivation to make a new film: BE HERE NOW. We are currently asking you to donate to Peters cause. He needs to raise money to help defray his sizeable medical costs and to finance this film project.
