Goal
Hello! We hope this finds you doing wonderfully well this summer!
We are reaching out to you today to let you know how much we greatly appreciated your donation to last year’s Below The Line Bootcamp training program, and to underscore how successful our pilot training program was!
All of our graduates went on to have the opportunity for immediate placement in paying transitional and then fully paid jobs on set, and of the 12 graduates, over ½ of them are currently employed on fabulous jobs here in the Hudson Valley, working for HBO, REMCycle Productions, Netflix, and of course, with us at Umbra Stages and Choice Films Inc. The film opportunities in the region are only going to continue to grow, and we are very excited to train a fresh group of at risk youth this summer to be able to place them on the projects we have landing in the Hudson Valley later this summer and into the fall.
Here are some of the great images from our last training program:

We could not have done the initial program without your contributions, and we hope that you will consider donating again for BTL 2.0! All of our sponsors get special thanks on social media, and more importantly, the kids who attend the program know that the local community is fully behind them as they launch toward successful careers in the film, TV & media sector.
This year we already have many donors who are helping up get BTL 2.0 on the boards, and we continue to apply for state funding for this program, and are confident that this will come thru in years to come.
Any contribution amount would help us reach our goal, and remember that your donation is 100% tax deductible.
Thank you again for your support of the youth of Newburgh and helping the film community to grow!
