i got an email from the president of the Luke Films, the one who helped make Therese Movie hapen. Well evidently after releasing the movie onto DVD, they still can't get enough money to pay off what is still owed to making everything happen.
So here is the email. If anyone wants to make a donation or wants to orignal email, please PM me!!!

Dear Friend of Luke Films,
You rejoiced with us when THÉRÈSE hit the big screen in towns across North America.
You thanked God for His goodness when the DVD of THÉRÈSE appeared in Target, Wal-Mart, Blockbuster, Hollywood Video, Best Buy, Amazon.com, and right in your own home!
Now I am asking for your help.
Most people believe the theatrical and DVD release of THÉRÈSE meant that money worries were behind us. This is not the case. We depend on your tax-deductible donations to continue our ministry. The cost of producing and distributing THÉRÈSE far exceeded the revenues brought in, and our company carries an enormous financial burden. Without the donations of countless supporters, we never could have brought the message of THÉRÈSE to mass audiences. All of this expense has been worth it, but our need is now urgent.
Once again, God is testing our commitment to this humble apostolate. I am confident He wants us to continue and that He will send the help we need to keep going. Above all, we are determined to surrender to His Will.
Luke Films has been called to transform and evangelize our culture with the stories and heroism of the Catholic Faith - in movie theaters, television, live theater in local churches, the web, and even on your kids' iPods and Xboxes.
Will you help me do this? Our current campaign has the goal of $350,000, to keep our projects moving forward. Please prayerfully consider making a donation towards this goal. Be it $50 or $5,000, I know God will bless you abundantly for your trust in this effort to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ through the media.
