ROBINSON FILM CENTER’S GIVE FOR GOOD MOVIE CAMPAIGN RETURNS

Robinson Film Center is releasing the follow-up to its unique 2023 campaign for this year’s Give for Good day. As a way of saying thank you to supporters, RFC staff along with board members and volunteers will appear in videos reenacting famous movie scenes throughout Give for Good day on May 7th as the center hits specific donation levels. Give For Good day, which is powered by the Community Foundation of North Louisiana, is an important fundraising day for many local nonprofit organizations.

“We had so much fun making and premiering these videos last year,” said Wendell Riley, Executive Director of RFC. “The community loved it, and ever since we’ve been asked if we would be doing something similar this year. Well, we definitely are.” RFC will have bistro specials all throughout the day.

The community’s donations will not only unlock these reenacted movie scenes, but will help keep the film center’s mission to educate, enrich and entertain through the power of film alive. The videos will be released on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube based on the following fundraising targets:

Pre-GFG Day - $1,500: MOVIE SCENE #1
$5,000: MOVIE SCENE #2
$10,000: MOVIE SCENE #3
$20,000: MOVIE SCENE #4
$30,000: MOVIE SCENE #5
$40,000: MOVIE SCENE #6

“We’re excited to do this again, because it allows us to express our undying love of cinema while showing gratitude to our supporters,” said Riley. “Give for Good is a big part of our annual fundraising cycle, and this year we hope to use the funds to continue to make some major improvements in the center.”

The center announced the campaign last week with the following video:
