Great new film coming about Lyme disease.

Hi everyone,
I recived this e-mail from Lymeinfo.net today and I just had to pass it on to you.
I want you all to click on this link below and watch the trailer of this upcoming film about Lyme Disease. It is going to be one of the finest productions about Lyme disease ever made.

Best thoughts,
Rick B.

From Kris Kraft, Open Eye Pictures:

We're very excited to announce that a 30-minute sample of our Lyme
documentary, UNDER OUR SKIN, has put us in the running for the
prestigious IFP Award for Socially Conscious Documentaries. In
addition, we were awarded a screening slot at IFP Market, which will
place the rough cut of our film in front of high-level broadcasters and distributors in September.

Interest in the film has been high, with packed fundraising screenings
in five cities; a pitch meeting with HBO; and interviews with national
publications such as The Washington Post, The Scientist, and Forbes
(well, we tried). And with President Bush's announcement that he's been treated for Lyme, and Michael Moore's SICKO film making health care an election issue, we feel the time is right for this film.

We're now in the homestretch for completing our rough cut for Sundance
Festival submission, and we'd like to call on the Lyme disease community to help us out in this final sprint. Even if you're not able to financially assist us, please help us spread the word among your friends, family, and influencers, so we can create a groundswell of excitement for our upcoming screenings. (We've placed our 5-minute film trailer back on our main website, so that you can easily forward it via email.)

And thanks again for all your support and stories!!

About Me

My photo
Pueblo, Colorado, United States
I am a Chronic Lyme disease patient. I was bitten by a tick in 2001 and have been very sick ever since. Subsequently, you could say I am a Lyme disease junkie.I thirst for any information about it,any treatments, research etc. It has been a life altering experience, which has kept me away from our business and at home most of the time. I use to own A-1 Barricade and Sign Inc. here in Pueblo, Co, but because of the Lyme disease, my sons are running the business for the most part with my wife. I have been married for 48 years to a wonderful woman who is also my best friend. We have five children, all grown. Four boys live here in Pueblo and my only daughter lives in Bonney Lake, Washington. We miss her a lot. I have 7 grandchildren, which are the greatest of all. They are all exceptionally beautiful! The last thing you need to know about me is that I am proud to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Because of this I have the knowledge that life is eternal and that it does not end here, but it will go on after death because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. This truth I bear witness of!
