Hi ! Id like to ask you for two minutes of your time and an online vote for my daughter, who you might either know or know of through me. Rachel Andelman, a senior at Shorecrest Prep, is (to the best of our knowledge) the only Tampa Bay area student to place a film in the finals of the annual Palm Beach International Film Festival/Student Showcase of Films competition. Were hoping to stir up interest and online votes for Rachels project -- which she conceived, directed and produced alongside freshmen film students Zack Savitsky and Saul Weiskopf. Wed love it if youd consider watching the 2-minute film, giving it your vote if you feel it earned it, and sharing this email with more potential voters. Voting starts from this link, where all 10 films in contention can be viewed: pbfilm/studentshowcaseoffilms.cfm • Rachels film, The Zipper, is listed last if you want to view it. • To vote, click on the line at the top in RED that says *** Vote HERE for your favorite film! *** • The system will ask for your email address, then send you an access code and link to place your vote. • Click on the link in your email, copy the access code and choose The Zipper.
