Second fundraiser, Nov 27th!!

Me, my Mom & a Whistle's second fundraiser is Friday, Nov 27th at The Cajun Attic (349 Dahousie St, Ottawa)after 9pm. Advance tickets are only $5!!
NOTE: only the advance sales go towards the film, the door goes to the bar! So find me or Lisa and buy in advance.



The fantabulous Pat Patenaude will be performing again with his mix of Celtic/ Irish inspired drinking songs. He was a crowd fave at the last fundraiser as our closing act.





The last fundraiser at Busters Bar & Grill on Carling raised about $1500, and saw some very happy winners, including Corey Bombay who won tickets to a Sens game!





Sponsors of our last fundraiser included Beau's Beer, Absolute Comedy & Morrighan Films. Stay tuned to see who sponsors this one.





Dwayne Desveaux and his beautiful lady Jodi won tickets to Absolute Comedy!!





Future fundraisers are on the go for the new year!!

You can actively support local Film-makers

Now it's easy to get involved in supporting local film-makers!

Thanks to Jith Paul, we have a quick link to donate to the film Me, my Mom, and a Whistle.

Now that emerging artists and small independents are competing for the same dwindling pool of government funding monies as Atom Egoyen, Norman Jewison, and David Cronenberg, we've decided to OPT OUT of the traditional funding model.

We're looking for cash donations from people who believe in independent film. While we're hoping to get $20+ per person, we'll take whatever you can find in your couch cushions! I figured that if everyone on the friends lists of the cast & crew donated $20 each, we could make this film, AND PAY EVERYBODY!

If we get enough, we'll reward thhe people who were so kind and supportive with a party & a screening!
