Hey all – you might remember this, from Omir the Storyteller:
SCENE: An emergency room operating theater. Lots of medical beeps and noises. A woman wearing scrubs, a Hillary Clinton haircut and a surgical mask finishes washing up and backs into the ER, where a clock on the wall says 2:59.
MRS C: Is the patient prepped?
NURSE: Wait a minute, you can’t be in here!
ANESTHESIOLOGIST: Mrs. C, what are you doing here? You can’t be in the operating room!
MRS C: Of course I can. I know how it’s done! My husband was head of surgery here for eight years! I used to watch him all the time.
ANESTHESIOLOGIST: Your husband retired eight years ago. I’m sorry — (continues in background as we)
CUT TO
NURSE ON (red) PHONE: Security to ER One stat!
ANESTHESIOLOGIST (in background) but just watching your husband operate —
CUT TO
ANESTHESIOLOGIST: doesn’t qualify you to be a surgeon.
MRS C: I was co-surgeon! I’m ready to operate on day one! Hand me that sharp pointy thing and . . . those funny scissors!
(RED PHONE rings as clock on wall reaches 3:00)
MRS C: Is someone going to get that?
Well guess what? I have a filmmaker friend who is AMAZING and is willing to do this for free. But rental space and camera stuff isn’t free, so we have to quickly raise $1000 bucks. He can literally shoot it this week and have it uploaded by Sunday.
Here’s your chance to get Omir a produced credit while helping get Obama elected!
If anyone can donate ANYTHING – $50, $20, $100 – whatever you can – it will either take a lot of small donations or a few big ones – let me know asap. We need to get the funding quickly or the window of opportunity to do this disappears.
