THE DONKAPHANT FILM FUNDRAISER is the first interactive film festival, bridging the monumental gap between the political and entertainment worlds.
This short film festival will play approximately 80 minutes in length and will raise social, political, and cultural awareness among our audience. Our audience will leave thinking deeper about their neighbors and their place in the world and all of this under the umbrella of leadership in America and how we, as a democratic state, will decide who will lead us over the next 4-8 years.
Through the purchase of an admission ticket the participants will be given mock ballots on which they will cast their vote, fill out their personal information, and give a cash donation for whom they want to see as the next leader of our country. During an evening of thought provoking, sometimes funny, sometimes controversial short films, drinks and conversations with campaign members, the ballots will be collected and then counted. Like our democratic state, the candidate with the majority vote will have the cash donations sent to his/her campaign. This is a cutting edge, never before seen, happening!
The fundraiser will take place on December 10th, 2007 from 6:30pm- 10:00pm at Cinespace in Hollywood, California. The sleek venue is perfect for the fundraiser with a plush screening room, bar, lounge, and a patio.
We are looking for support from all of the Presidential campaigns in any way possible. It would be in the best interest of each campaign to have a representative at the event to answer any questions and receive further possible donations.

I would never vote for any of the current Republican candidates. Their stances on war, presidential powers and torture are akin to dictatorships! They are facists in Republican clothing. Unlike true Republicans of the past, they care nothing about the constitution.
Sometimes, there are very good reasons for the polarization. Wanting to save this country from a de facto dictatorship is one.-
