Hey LA! Free INVISIBLE NATION screening at UCLA 11/7

Yup. We want you to see the film! Get your tickets here:

https://gathr.com/events/e19881fe/invisible-nation-screening-11-7-ucla-james-bridges-theater

And since it is free, perhaps when you book a ticket or 2 for UCLA, and then pay it forward below in one the 11 cities still to come! See below.

And if you happen to be AMPAS Doc Branch member, it is up in their screening room.

Plus we just launched a fundraising campaign to continue to keep the film on the road and bring it to the world. And it’s tax deductible! Every dollar counts!

Invisible Nation reveals itself in theaters nationwide — provided you can help us out a little bit.

We are using GATHR to try to secure some additional screenings of our film INVISIBLE NATION. IRL MOVIE THEATERS! 11 additional screenings. In eleven cities. On the eleventh of November, the 11th month of the year.

The way it works though is the screenings only happen when 50% of the tickets are sold. And although we’ve only just launched this, we have our screening in Chicago greenlit already. Thank you. One of the cool things you can do is “pay it forward”, which is essentially buying tickets for those that don’t have funds, or putting a little extra on top when you buy a ticket. Check it out. And please help us make some of these screenings happen.

It is truly important. 23 Million people’s lives are at stake. They all deserve the right to determine their future. Taiwan emerged from what was the 2nd longest martial law ever to become one of the most vibrant democracies in the world today. We can all learn from Taiwan, but they are currently threatened by an authoritarian dictatorship that threatens to invade, and continues to remove them from the international organizations like the WHO or Interpol.

You can order tickets here: https://gathr.com/films/invisible-nation/screenings

As I mentioned, Chicago is already happening 100%, but we need to sell tickets everywhere else in order to happen in the other cities. I hope you can help us. Encourage your friends to see “the most important film I have ever made”.
