Delayed Justice

Kickstarter is an all-or-nothing proposition. Thanks to the 23 donors, it’s ALL a go! We have exceeded our $2000 goal by $15. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Amen, amen, amen.

I believe and trust that the remaining funding, some $135, will find its way to complete our Kickstarter campaign to raise $2,000 to close caption Heritage Hill Bride: The Murder of Shelley Speet Mills. Only with closed captions will it be able to be shown on our local PBS station, WGVU-TV; that’s the law and it’s the right thing to do for those who have a hearing impairment. It’s my hope, too, that some other stations around the state will pick it up, but that’s up to them individually.

So, my thanks go out to those of you who contributed at this Kickstarter address. My thanks also go to those who even thought about it and sent up a prayer. It all counts.

WGVU-TV, Public Broadcasting for this west side of the state, has accepted Heritage Hill Bride: The Murder of Shelley Speet Mills for carriage. But in order to run on the station, the film must be closed captioned. That’s going to cost about $2K that I just don’t have now. So, with many misgivings I have started a Kickstarter fund-raising account. It is here. If you want to help make this happen I will be very grateful.

As well, we have made efforts to get this film into the Michigan Prison system and not had much luck. And, no, the prisons would not have to buy the films; I will provide them if they will show the piece. I can think of no better place to find people who may know about this 46-year-old homicide. If you have ideas please let me know. Prayers are always welcome.
