Monterey County Film Commission Kicks Off its 25th Annual Academy Awards® Campaign "No Show" The film commission's main annual fundraiser for the past 21 years has been a glamorous gala in a ballroom, celebrating the Academy Awards® presentations with a live telecast. This year the commission is doing a different fundraising appeal, inviting local residents to be "No Shows" on going out, and instead tune into the Feb. 26 broadcast on their televisions in the comfort of their own homes. Rather than incurring the costs of a gown, tuxedo, taxi, dinner tickets and silent auction items, supporters are asked to donate $100 to $250 to the film commission, providing more direct funds to the non-profit, plus a greater tax-deductible benefit to donors. Among the items contributors can receive are pizza certificates, memberships in "Reel Friends of the Film Commission," gift certificates at Carmel Valley's "Toast" restaurant, the Monterey County Movie Map, and even Oscar® winner ballots for home contests. For more information on the "No Show" fundraising campaign and to donate to the Monterey County Film Commission, contact the office at 831-646-0910 or email info@filmmonterey.org.
