[Libs-Or] Short Film at the Newberg Public Library

[Ruth Headley]

Just in case anyone is interested in an update about the  Lovecraftian short film using us as a location:


On December 10th, 2023, the campaign for the Lovecraftian+Librarian short film "The Patron<https://seedandspark.com/fund/the-patron-2024/#story>" will be ending. If you have a moment, please visit the Seed&Spark campaign, give the project a follow, or share it with 2-3 people who would be interested in the story.

Here's the synopsis:
Howard is a local librarian who finds himself in the center of a mystery. Who is the odd person wandering the bookshelves? And what do fish people have to do with it? If Howard wants to learn the truth, he risks facing his own doom.
We hope this sparks your interest and you visit our campaign page<https://seedandspark.com/fund/the-patron-2024/#story>! Thank you!

Subject: Short Film at the Newberg Public Library

Calling all Cthulhu-loving librarians!

The staff of the Newberg Public Library, including its former director Will Worthey, are collaborating to create a Lovecraftian themed short film set in a public library. After production it will be submitted to Portland's annual H. P. Lovecraft Film Festival.

The summary of the film is as follows: "Howard thinks that something fishy is going on at his library. Little does he suspect that there are actual fish people involved." We think that fans of creature features, cosmic horror, and mystery will find this an eldritch delight. We are filming this production in early 2024, and submitting it to the festival in early spring. Right now, we are preparing our props and set design to create a truly otherworldly environment that lives up to Cthulhu mythos. This is a non-profit project, with funds going to materials and paying cast and crew so their artistic work is properly acknowledged.

Like Gondor calling for aid, we are reaching out to you for your support! If you are interested in this story, or know someone else who is, please visit our project campaign<https://seedandspark.com/fund/the-patron-2024/#story> and spread the word! We humbly thank you for giving the film a moment of your time.


Sincerely,
