Vendors, suppliers, and members of the NYC film community have pulled together for the relief effort in Jacmel, Haiti.

Lighting equipment including generators in the 6,500 watt range were loaded at Eastern Effects on DeGraw Street in Brooklyn and will be shipped in a container for arrival in the port of Jacmel on Feb 2.

Good job!

Betsy Reid and Nora Killoran are putting together a mission, which, I assume means that film industry folks from here will be going there. They are now talking about a one week commitment between Feb 1 and Feb 8.

This group is working with Partners and Health in order to sponsor and organize their mission. For more information you can email Charlie Libin (clibin(at)luminaria(dot)com
