I am excited to announce that my documentary project Roy’s World: Barry Gifford’s Chicago has entered into a fiscal partnership with IFP Chicago. Why is that exciting? It means the project can tap into the network of one of Chicago’s most passionate champions for independent filmmaking. And it means that you can support the project directly—with a tax deductible donation!

That’s right: all direct donations to Roy’s World via IFP Chicago are tax deductible, and you’ll receive a record of your donation for your accountant. There are certainly worse places to park your simoleons. So (at the risk of sounding like an NPR pledge drive) don’t delay, give today!

Also, don’t forget about the extraordinarily cool show coming up at Constellation on November 4 where you’ll be able to hear Barry Gifford read from his brand new book of Roy stories, alongside Jason Adasiewicz’s soundtrack for the film—performed live by Jason, Keefe Jackson, Josh Berman, Joshua Abrams, and Mike Reed. It’s going to knock your socks off.
