What do you need to finish the documentary other than money?

Please send us any old pictures or home movies (make sure they are copies - we try our best to return 
everything, but we would hate for you to lose an original photo or movie).   We are specifically looking for   looking for pictures of West Colfax from Federal to Sheridan (circa 1880-1950) and pictures of 
businesses or homes under the viaduct in the "Bergl" (same time period).  

How can I help?

We need funding to finish the film.  Please let us know if you know of any foundations that provide 
grants for historical documentaries, whether Jewish or not, or if you know of a family that is interested
 in furthering the preservation of the history of Judaism in the United States.

What is your objective with the movie?

We are storytellers.  We want to share our story of life in Jewish Denver with the world.  We hope 
to enter this movie in as many film festivals as we can, as soon as we can.
