Funding for the film.

I just got an offer from from my lawyer to introduce me to a film financier who could make this whole project happen. He said the financier could lend $400,000 which would be enough for the restoration of the mural as well as the film. This is an exciting development and I am hoping that he is going to be reasonable, after all I was told that I could theoretically get grants for both. We are tired of waiting and terning down offers to sell the painting.

I placed a posting on kickstarter.com hoping to get funding, we will see what happens and keep trying to find some combination that finally succeeds in financing this project. It would be nice, if the story of our adventure in finding this painting with such a rich history that had already been saved by Jean Aberbach once before could somehow pay for its restoration. We also have four years worth photo's of this project and the painting that has not been available to the public ever. These images alone might be valuable to the art going public. Perhaps we can set up a pay pal account and a website to sell the photo's as postcards, calenders or print in limited or unlimited editions.
