Please Give Us Your Support

For 5 years Raw Impressions, Inc. has brought artists together and supported them through the creation and premiere of 57 short films, 172 new ten-minute musicals.

Now we need your support to keep giving artists those opportunities.

We've brought you work from Emmy Winners DJ Javerbaum (Head Writer: The Daily Show) and Michael Whalen (Music Theme for Good Morning America), Tony Winners Tonya Pinkins (Caroline or Change) and Ted Sperling (Light in the Piazza).

Through our events, we've introduced collaborators to each other who have gone on to create dozens of new works.

Artists like Mora Stephen, Joel Viertel and Alek Lev took the inspiration, skill and connections they got at RIPFest and created the award -winning feature film Conventioneers that recently opened at NY's Film Forum after winning the Independent Spirit Award for best feature made for less than $500,000.

While most arts companies make only 30% of their budget at the box office, we bring in a full 50%, but we still need to raise tens of thousands of dollars each year to break even.
You donation makes an enormous difference. Whether it's $25 or $250 or $1000.
