From Kris Kraft:

We’re very excited to announce that a 30-minute sample of our Lyme documentary, UNDER OUR SKIN, has put us in the running for the prestigious IFP “Award for Socially Conscious Documentaries.” In addition, we were awarded a screening slot at IFP Market, which will place the rough cut of our film in front of high-level broadcasters and distributors in September.

Interest in the film has been high, with packed fundraising screenings in five cities; a pitch meeting with HBO; and interviews with national publications such as The Washington Post, The Scientist, and Forbes (…well, we tried). And with President Bush’s announcement that he’s been treated for Lyme, and Michael Moore’s SICKO film making health care an election issue, we feel the time is right for this film.

We’re now in the homestretch for completing our rough cut for Sundance Festival submission, and we’d like to call on the Lyme disease community to help us out in this final sprint. Even if you’re not able to financially assist us, please help us spread the word among your friends, family, and influencers, so we can create a groundswell of excitement for our upcoming screenings. (We’ve placed our 5-minute film trailer back on our main website, so that you can easily forward it via email.)

And thanks again for all your support and stories!!
