UPCOMING FILMS by Joanne Caputo
"INSIDE OUT"
More Americans are behind bars than at any other time in history, and
two out of three inmates - a record high - return to prison after
release. African American men now face a 30 percent risk of
incarceration before age thirty, compared to 4 percent for whites. The
cost to taxpayers is nearly $25,000 per inmate per year. Can prison art
programs reverse the trend and truly rehabilitate? Follow a maximum
security prisoner as he creates award-winning art from scavenged
material and carves a plan for success beyond bars.
***
"LETTERS FROM FRANK"
Frank served his country in World War II. Decades after his death,
Jennie discovers his 500 letters that changed her life.
***
"MARGARET GARNER"
A family in bondage in 1856. The mother's horrific sacrifice. America's
moral nightmare as slavery is put on trial.

FRIENDS OF THE FILMMAKER
Filmmaker Joanne Caputo welcomes community support to fund the
production of the above "socially responsible" films, as well as ON A ROLL's finish expenses.
Every dollar counts, supporting a wide range of out-of-pocket expenses.
Here's an example:
$4 buys a mini-DV tape (each project uses dozens!)
$30 buys a tank of gas for the car during each road travel day
$50 pays a film festival entry fee
$60 buys an hour of digitizing footage (it takes several weeks to digitize an entire project)
$375 buys an hour of final on-line finish editing (ON A ROLL used more than 25 hours)
$1,500 buys closed captioning services
$2,000 pays an editor for a week (4-6 weeks likely)
$5,000 pays for a final sound mix ... or film insurance ... or legal fees ... or a production assistant
