ONLY 14 DAYS LEFT!! Great film by great filmmakers! I saw this at a festival in San Francisco and the audience was loving it and cheering!— from an Indiegogo Contributor We have an amazing film here–one that people are hungry for–BUT NO ONE WILL SEE IT unless you help. If we don’t reach our goal, we can’t play in theaters, on TV, or even on DVD. That’s what this campaign is for. You’ve been generous with your support. NOW we’re asking you to invite your friends and family to lend their voices to our campaign. Been putting off that Facebook post or email shout-out to your nearest and dearest about Compared to What? What are you waiting for? NOW is the time. If each one of us got 2 people to donate $50 each, we’d raise $5000 dollars! And then those people could do the same! COMFORTABLE ON SOCIAL MEDIA?

SHARE THIS ARTICLE: http://www.washingtonblade.com/2015/02/04/barney-franks-improbable-journey/ ASK them to help bring Barney’s story to life. Please. We can’t do it without YOU. Thank you.

“The story of Barney Frank is an important one to be told. Please join me in contributing what you can to ensure that this important film is completed and made available…” The above quote comes from one of the many COMPARED TO WHAT? supporters who have written us since our Indiegogo campaign began. 16 Days Left! Please continue to spread the word! And don’t forget—thanks to the generosity of Producer Julie Thompson, Indiegogo contributors can own a copy of the timeless documentary “Citizen: The Political Life of Allard K. Lowenstein” —the single best film on political organizing we’ve ever seen. Barney gave an interview for the film in 1982. Here’s a funny outtake, as the interview gets interrupted by a Congressional Roll Call: Do you have a Barney Frank fan in your circle? Tweet at them or send them a Facebook message. Steal these examples: Tweet: Watch Barney Frank riff on Congress 1982! http://youtu.be/LEp69UrQjyI Want more? Join the Indiegogo for @BarneyFrankFilm http://igg.me/at/barneyfrankfilm Facebook: Hey, Barney Frank fans. Check out Barney in 1982 riffing on Congress.
