Do yourself a favor and watch this short clip from The Square, which won the audience award at Sundance this year! 

Then read this…

Many of you may have first become familiar with me through my role in the documentary film Control Room. Jehane Noujaim, its director and creative force, is a very dear friend to Paige and me. Jehane’s new film, The Square, documents the Egyptian revolution—she was actually detained during the filming, much to the horror of her family and friends. Though the documentary is not complete, its rough cut already won the audience award at Sundance this year. 

Now Jehane needs our help to finish the project.

Fans have already pledged more than $56,000 to Jehane’s kickstarter campaign! But if her goal of $100,000 isn’t reached in the next 7 days, Jehane and her team WON’T SEE ANY OF THE MONEY. So if you’re a fan of Control Room, Start-Up Dot Com or as moved by the clip as I am, then please go to Jehane’s kickstarter page to chip in—even $5 helps. And when The Square wins an Oscar next year, you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing you played an important part in history.
