The Sensitives

Melinda Honn's Environmental Health Bulletin is a newsletter for chemically sensitive people in the Arizona area. It's filled with great ads for safe housing options, MCS-related articles, petitions, government lobbying, and products. If you would like to sign up for a copy sent to your email address, I added information from the bottom of the bulletin on how to do that below. *

This month's edition included a notice from Drew Xanthopoulos who has been filming The Sensitives for the last three years and now needs funding to edit the film. It features a short teaser. I met Drew on my vacation to Snowflake, AZ, when he was filming. The last person featured in the teaser is the incredibly-generous-woman who graciously let me stay with her during my visit. I am eager to see the film.

I think this notice is old as the fundraising started a month ago, and Drew did raise the $50K needed, but I'm sure he'll need more money for production. Here is his notice and the link for the fundraising site and video preview:

"A film is being created called The Sensitives.. The film tells the story of families living with a mysterious illness called Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, and their struggles to adapt to this invisible disability with very little support from society or the medical profession.  I promise, when you watch the teaser it'll be unlike anything you've seen!  We're launching a Kickstarter campaign TODAY to raise funds to get this film to the finish line and I need your help to make it. Please watch the teaser, read more about it, spread the word to all your friends, and pledge support at this link  bit.ly/SensitivesDoc.  Thank you."
