To whom it may concern,
We are delighted to count Krissy Smith as one of the supporters of Erasing Family Documentary. Her efforts in spreading awareness of how family courts too easily erase a loving, fit parent from their children’s lives are vital to ensuring that no child will be traumatized in the future. To date she has made a tax-deductible donation of more than $15,000 and in true generosity of spirit, has asked that they be put in the names of other erased parents. To date the film has more than 400 donors, almost all of them parents who have been erased from their children’s lives. They not only share resources with the film, but share their heartbreaking stories on our social media accounts (we have over 20,000 followers on Facebook).
I first met Krissy at an event we had in New York City in June 2017. We stayed in touch and she has been following the progress of the film. We have finished filming and are currently working on editing the film with a Sundance and Oscar winning team. The film when released will have curriculum packets for schools, universities. To be clear, the film will be told from the perspective of erased children as they reunite with their families. The film does not focus on the case of Krissy Smith. We have interviewed experts and children all over the world who bring unique perspectives to this issue. Already, the film has been featured on Bravo TV and in many media outlets.
Our team cannot wait to share this film with all the people who are reading this letter. The documentary will change the way we talk about divorce and child custody and move society to finally put children first.
Warmly, and with every best wish,
