A Friend in Need

Did you know more than 33 million Americans are currently living without life insurance? It's no secret that healthcare in this country has very limited access. Usually when you look at those numbers, the assumption is mostly the poor. But a large number are working professionals who work in the entertainment industry—artists, crew people, actors, musicians, photographers, event support, waiters... the list goes on and on. While many try to stay healthy, if something serious happens, what do you do?

This was the case for Deryl Davis, a friend and member of the indie film community, who was recently diagnosed with Lymphoma. Like many in the film community, Deryl does not have health coverage. But luckily, he has a lot of good friends...

The Davis Project was developed to help assist the Davis family with Deryl's medical expenses. Formed by a group of film professionals, there will be an ongoing online auction via eBay full of lots of enticing items to bid on. The auction will launch on March 23, so stay tuned and lend a hand.

Long live indie film,
