Title'Speaking in Tongues' Update
Body
We are writing to update you about Speaking in Tongues, PatchWorks Films' project promoting multilingualism in the U.S. If you haven't had a chance to check out our new web site, you can now learn more about our work and watch a new video clip at: http://www.patchworksfilms.net/coming_soon.html

We're also happy to report that we've received two seed grants from the Film Arts Foundation and the Wallace Alexander Gerbode Foundation. This funding has come in the nick of time, as we are planning to begin production in the fall. At the moment we're seeking completion funds for the film and the community engagement program. We're delighted to be partnering with the Alliance for the Advancement of Heritage Languages, The American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL), California Tomorrow , and Parents for Public Schools (PPS) to develop ancillary materials developed specifically for educators, heritage language advocates, and those developing cross cultural skills in our students.

Our greatest need at the moment is to make contacts with foundations and donors who might be interested in supporting efforts to develop cross-cultural and bilingual skills among Americans. Please pass along any potential contacts to us, or feel free to forward this information to others.

Best,

Marcia Jarmel & Ken Schneider
Producers, Speaking in Tongues
