Brian DePalma's award winning anti-war movie earned $25,628.
It was made for $5,000,000.
That is .5% return of the initial investment.
My first documentary cost $35,000 to make, and thanks to the supporters of the Outside the Wire project, has made $23,464 or 67% return of the initial investment.
When one guy with a camera is beating Hollywood in rate of return and almost beating Hollywood in gross receipts--Hollywood has a problem.
You can continue to support JD on his next trip by contributing via Paypal, Blog Patron, Buying a DVD or making a tax deductible contribution.
We all know that freedom is not free--and neither is reporting from Iraq.
Each digital tape capturing the heroic efforts of Soldiers and Marines costs $7. JD uses almost 100 tapes on each trip. One DVD buys one tape that will permanently capture what the media refuses to cover.
As you know JD spends his time in Iraq with the Soldiers and Marines doing the work Outside The Wire. That means hundreds and thousands of dollars of equipment and gear gets damaged. Three dollars buys a new protective lens cover. Fifty dollars buys a pair of ballistic glasses. Just to get there, the airfare costs $1,500.
It all helps and it is all needed to tell the story that is not being told.
If you have the desire and means and would like to make a tax deductible contribution, or contribute at the Producer level, please contact JD via email.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and any support you can give.
