Believe me, it's a good thing when an indie filmmaker gets a call that says, "Yes, We Believe in Your Project. Here's More Money." Those calls are not just rare, they're pretty much nonexistent. So it was a happy day to get news from the Lawrence Cultural Council, a branch of the Massachusetts Cultural Council, that MILLIES was selected to receive additional funding on top of its original grant award from a couple months ago!
Every bit helps. Buy a t-shirt, buy a photo print, or just make a donation at http://www.milliesmovie.com/millie.html.
A big thanks to the Cultural Council for putting their money where their Millies are.

MILLIES booth at Fiber Arts Celebration
Textiles and fabrics and laces oh my...
MILLIES has been invited to the innovative Fiber Arts Celebration on Sunday, June 14, 11-4pm at the Wyndham Boston Andover Hotel. A full day on fiber arts and crafts in one of the heart of the storied Merrimack Valley textile region. A unique event and a fantastic connection between the regional textile history and MILLIES' storyline with textile mill workers visiting the present day when their historic strike is threatened.
If you spin, knit, felt, quilt, piece, hook, sew, stitch, crochet, stamp, or embellish … If you work with needles or hooks, fabric or yarn … If you’re a beginner, expert, or anywhere in between … this is your chance to hook up with others who share your passion for the fiber arts.
Featured speaker, BRUNONIA BARRY, author of the NY Times best-seller, The Lace Reader.
Bring your needles, shuttles, yarn, yoyos, hoops, hanks, and handwork, and share the day with old friends and new acquaintances.
Gourmet box lunch
Vendors’ booths
Fiber arts demonstrations
Door prizes
Vendor demonstrations
Hands-on activities
Special table for teens and beginning fiber artists of all ages
Tickets: $35 per adult ($20 per student under 18 accompanied by adult) includes admission, lunch, free raffle ticket, author presentation and book signing.
