Dear Friends of Queen of the Sun,
I'm writing to you today because we contacted you about supporting the U.S. Theatrical Release for Queen of the Sun in your city. We want to share our new film in-production, SEED: The Untold Story with you.
SEED: The Untold Story will reveal the awe, wonder and hidden beauty of seeds. The film will investigate the decline of seed diversity over the past century and the rise of a small number of corporations who control the majority of the world's seed supply. We will follow heroes working to preserve agricultural security and seed diversity in this uphill battle against high-tech industrial chemical companies. SEED will unearth an incredible new movement emerging all around the world to protect our shared rights to seed.

We need to bring in just $16,000 more to pay for a musical score, animation, and many expenses to finish the film.
During our Kickstarter Campaign, we've brought in the bare minimum to continue SEED and get closer to the finished film. With just one week left, we now have the opportunity to bring in enough to cover the costs of finishing the film! Help us reach this STRETCH GOAL of $75,000!
We need your help to spread the word. Now is a great time to share SEED far and wide and join the momentum to help us build this film. Every donation, every e-mail, and every time you share this with your members and community, whether it's on facebook or in person, it helps us reach our goal.
If you enjoyed Queen of the Sun, we encourage you to share this campaign with your friends, family and community. We can't express enough how much it is YOU that are making this film a reality.
With thanks and gratitude,
Jon Betz, Taggart Siegel & the Collective Eye Films Team

We're asking for your help to plant the seed for our next documentary by donating to our KickStarter Campaign. Already, we've made our initial goal and now we're seeking more funds to help finish the film. Any amount you are able to give helps. You may not think it's enough, but with hundreds of backers, it adds up! SEED addresses an urgent topic. Our stretch goal is to raise $75,000, $25,000 more than our initial goal, to continue production and complete the film by the end of 2013.
