To Leon Melas:
A special mention must be made of Leon Melas (Zeal Pictures) whose tireless efforts and amazing talents have put his indelible and invaluable imprint all over our festival.
Thanks, Leon. We couldn't do it without you, but more important, we wouldn't want to do it without you.
To Our Anonymous Angel:
Our humble thanks to our mystery producer who elected to avoid the spotlight. We are overwhelmed by the magni-tude of your donation. We hope you know how much we appreciate your faith in our project and your generosity.
To our Supporters:
Once again, we sincerely appreciate your generous support. We are forever indebted to you for helping to finance our event. A special thanks to Alfred S. Regnery who didn't want his name in the big letters it deserved.
To our Advertisers:
Thank you for making our Goody Bags a success.
A special thank you to Lisa Wilcox for adding the terrific gifts for our Goody Bags.
To all our Collaborators from outside The Studio:
Without your hard work, your talent, and your spirit of adventure this event wouldn't have been possible. We are grateful for the skills of many creative people who by now are honorary members of The Studio. We look forward to working with all of you in the future.
To the Festival Production Staff:
Without the Production Staff, we would have had a stack of films and no festival. On behalf of all members of The Studio, thanks to the actors who managed to get their films made and still found time for hours of behind-the-scenes work that made this day possible.
A big thank you to the members of The Studio who don't have a film in this festival, yet generously contributed so much to the success of our production.
To our Actor-Producers:
At the Anita Jesse Studio, we are dedicated to the training and guidance of actors who have the vision and the heart to take charge of their destiny. We are overjoyed to see you moving toward that goal. You all worked harder than we could ever have hoped for-putting in long hours, challenging yourselves, and truly reaching for the stars. We are honored and proud to witness your growing resourcefulness, courage, and talent.
With affection and admiration,
Anita Jesse
Jim Ingersoll
