Some readers see this part of your email after the subject line in the inbox. Write something brief and catchy, compelling them to open the email. THANK YOU! FUNDED! We are so grateful to everyone who has worked on and supported this campaign! This was truly a team effort and we all crossed the finish line together! Thank you to the 641 backers who funded this campaign and for making it the 34th highest funded "Narrative Film" on Kickstarter! Thank you to everyone who visited our website or social media pages and liked and shared our posts. Thank you to all who visited our Kickstarter page, watched our video, read about our campaign and pledged and shared! Thank you for all the likes, comments, suggestions, support and well wishes. Thank you to those who came out to the live comedy shows. So many of you contributed in so many ways and we are so thankful to all of you! Thanks to all the comics who perfomed on the comedy shows and to those who made videos and pledged and shared our campaign on social media. Thank you to our Kickstarter camapign team working on getting the word out in every which way we could through social media content and interviews. Thank you to everyone who interviewed and wrote about us and our campaign. Thank you to our new creative team for the film. We appreciate you believing in us, our script and the vision of our project. We look forward to working with you on the next step of bringing "I am Maurice" to the screen! Please keep in touch with us everyone and follow us on social media and sign up for our mailing list atiammauricethemovie.com We have also set up a GoFundMe page for anyone who may have missed the Kickstarter and would still like to help with the funding of "I am Maurice." If you would still like to donate, go to: Gofundme.com/iammaurice We would love to raise as much as we can for the following reasons: 1) During production of a film, there are always unforseen costs that we may need extra funds to cover. If something causes delays or disruptions during filming, these extra funds will cover extras days of shooting. 2) There are scenes that take place in Haiti and we would really like to shoot it in Haiti rather than find a location that doubles as Haiti. These extra funds will help us do that. 3) We want to make the best possible film we can and with the extra funds, we can find and pay for the best actors, the best locations, and the best crew! 4) Film Festivals. Once the film is complete we plan on submitting it to several film festivals like Sundance, Tribeca, and SXSW, so we can find a distributor to release "I am Maurice." There are fees involved with submitting and these extra funds would cover those fees. 5) Marketing. When the film is complete, we will need to get the word out about the film and how people can see it. Thank you again everyone for your love and support! We could not have done this without you! We can't wait to make this film and bring it to you on the big screen!! Thank you!

$56,933,100,000.

Nearly 57 billion, with a B.

That's the cumulative tax cut the richest one percent of Americans will see in 2019 if this tax plan becomes law.

That is enough money to:

• Cover health insurance premiums for almost 10 million adults.
• Award more than 9.5 million low-income students Pell grants.
• Add 539,700 infrastructure jobs to the economy.

This scam of a tax plan clearly shows Mitch McConnell's priorities. Instead of investing in the middle class, he's giving billionaires and corporations an irresponsible, unnecessary $57 billion dollar tax cut. All while actually raising taxes for millions of middle-class families. This is unconscionable.

We can stop it, but Congress needs to hear from you right now. Use OFA's call tool and get in touch with a key senator in just two clicks:

PAID FOR BY ORGANIZING FOR ACTION. https://my.ofa.us/Call-A-Key-Senator  PAID FOR BY ORGANIZING FOR ACTION When we announced our partnership with the National Democratic Redistricting Committee (NDRC) a month ago, we knew we had a huge opportunity to make progress towards a more fair democracy. What we didn't know was just how quickly our volunteers and supporters would throw themselves into this mission. Now is the time to get to work -- to help end gerrymandering, and build a better, more fair democracy. Join us today. Over the past month, we've seen tens of thousands of Americans sign on to get involved. Two weeks ago, we made huge electoral progress in Virginia and New Jersey. And last night, OFA supporters from across the country joined Attorney General Holder on a kickoff call to discuss our strategy. Here's what the former Attorney General wrote in Crooked Media yesterday: "Gerrymandering is quite simply an attack on our democracy. It undercuts the tenet of one person, one vote ... together, we [must] engage in dialogue to start educating, organizing, and mobilizing to bend our democracy toward fairness." Making fairer maps across the country won't be easy. The process is different in every state. We're starting at a big disadvantage, and time isn't on our side -- today's candidates, ballot initiatives, and legal decisions are setting the stage for the crucial redistricting process in 2021. But if we start organizing now, we can make a huge difference. We need all hands on deck. It's a fight we can -- and must -- win.

Every publicist can tell you there are certain questions we have dreaded over the years.  When I started 20 years ago it was "get me in Rolling Stone" then for years it was "You are going to service my CD to Letterman and Conan yes?" Today its Spotify Playlists.

And of course this question happens for good reason. But, hold your horses. There are a lot of steps to take before you hire a PR firm like mine or a playlist servicing company to get you on playlists.  

The First Important Thing to Understand is:  A Majority of Spotify is Owned by the Major Labels

and their artists dominate most of the most followed playlists.  The reason for this is 3 companies are in control of placing songs on those playlists - so this playing field is NOT even for indies.  A comprehensive article came out on CASH music by Liz Pelly called The Secret Lives Of Playlists that is a must read so that you can fully understand just how little power you have as an indie artist on this platform when it comes to simply "getting on playlists"

Here's a nugget... 

"Not all Spotify playlists are created equally... On other playlists, you’ll occasionally notice different logos... These are the playlisting brands owned by the major labels: Filtr by Sony, Topsify by Warner, and Digster by Universal. Very rarely you might see an independent label or brand logo. That majors own their own playlisting companies servicing Spotify, and that these major-owned playlists have prominent placement within the platform, should come as no major surprise: Spotify is largely a collaboration with all three major labels.

Now that I got the bad news out of the way, there is hope and with some planning and work you can and will get traction inside this valuable platform. To learn how, I decided to go to a group of music industry veterans who do this every day and in the panel How Streaming Playlists Work and How to Get On Them, that took place at MONDO 2017 in New York, I sat in as Streaming Promotions, Co-Founder, Charles Alexander Sung Cho, Founder and CEO, Chartmetric, Brian Vinikoor, Sr. Director Strategic and Digital Partnerships at mtheory, Brian Popowitz ,General Manager Blackbox, and Jason Jones Director of Sales Mute Records took us through an incredible amount of information mostly focused on Spotify Playlists. I have broken it down into little "nuggets" and added some links help you along the way.

The major takeaway was: (Read  the rest on the blog!)

MONTADORAS INSTALADAS NO BRASIL PLANEJAM LANÇAMENTO DE HÍBRIDO FLEX E CÉLULA A COMBUSTíVEL NOS PRÓXIMOS ANOS Novas tecnologias automotivas prometem reduzir drasticamente a emissão de gases do efeito estufa (GEE), avaliado em gramas de CO2 equivalente por quilometro. Segundo avaliações da AEA, Associação Brasileira de Engenharia automotiva, o veículo equipado com motor de combustão interna (MCI) quando utiliza gasolina emite em média 166 g CO2/km. O estudo da AEA avaliou a emissão de gases do efeito estufa, em gramas de CO2equivalente por km, e o consumo energético, em MJ por km, para combinações de gasolina ou etanol com alternativas de motorização.  Leia a matéria na íntegra Na 17ª. Conferência da DATAGRO sobre Açúcar e Etanol, a ser realizada nos dias 6 e 7 de  novembro próximos, este será um tema central de avaliação, pelo impacto positivo que poderá trazer para o mercado de combustíveis, e pela possibilidade que isso representa para a capacidade do País atingir os seus compromissos com o Acordo do Clima. View this email in your browser - SOLO - RODOLFO CHIAVERINI   No próximo dia 23, realizaremos o solo do Artista Rodolfo Chiaverini em nossa galeria . Um talento precoce, que desde a tenra infância sabia desenhar, sem qualquer instrução formal, ingressou na Escola de Pintura do Bosque Municipal de Ribeirão Preto para se aprimorar e adquirir novas técnicas. Hoje também médico, Rodolfo achou nas artes o caminho da expressão desde muito cedo. Aos 12 anos interessou-se pelas Artes Plásticas e com 15 e 16 anos, teve aulas de pintura com o professor Blackmann. O trabalho de Rodolfo Chiaverini estabelece uma profunda conversa com o Expressionismo Abstrato no que diz respeito à matéria da pintura e à gestualidade. Obras de carácter incisivo, decidido. As cores são colocadas em grossas camadas de tinta construindo o corpo da pintura. Rodolfo afirma que seu maior ídolo “é sem dúvidas o Marc Chagall”. E ao depararmos com a série de pinturas apresentadas pelo artista nessa exposição fica evidente o diálogo pictórico que estabelece com com surrealista bielorruso. No que diz respeito à estrutura de composicão das pinturas, enquanto no trabalho de Chagall podemos notar diferentes elementos que flutuam em diferentes locais da tela, na pintura de Rodolfo notamos campos de cores fortes espaçados no plano pictórico, com contrastes que gradualmente vão formando nuances de transição entre esses campos mais fortes. Venha conferir esse solo tão especial! Endereço:  Alameda Lorena, 1748 - São Paulo Vernissage: 23/11 às 19 horas.  Rodolfo Chiaverini  RSVP
