Uptown Musical Comedy Seeks Backers

What does an aspiring Uptown filmmaker do to get funding?  He enters a contest to pitch his idea for his musical comedy, Rose's Colored Glasses, and wins!  But every silver lining has a grey cloud.  As Uptowner Kevin Hanna puts it, "I won prize money to make this movie a year and a half ago, by the wINDIE City Shootout, a new film festival in Pilsen.  The organizer promised over $40,000 in prize money, but no one was ever paid.  The producer of the festival is in prison now on unrelated charges, with a string of aliases following him."

So Kevin's trying a different tactic:  funding via Kickstarter.  If you'd like to help his musical get made -- most of it to be filmed right here in Uptown in late summer -- visit his Kickstarter page, read about his plans, and pledge your support to be part of it.
