RAINBOW RIDER IS GOING ON TOUR!
Rainbow Rider is an award-winning short documentary about Shelle Lichti, the outspoken lesbian truck driver behind the wheel of the eponymous Pride-wrapped freight truck criss-crossing the USA — and it's going on tour to a community near you!
Along the way, director Georgia Krause, producer Tran Hoang Calvin, and even subject Shelle Lichti will be making stops to meet and greet audiences who come OUT on the open road with us.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
1) Donations to this campaign help cover the cost of lodging and travel so that we can bring this film to communities across the country. We want to be there at screenings, be available to talk with audiences, and make a real commitment to pride and visibility everywhere we go.
2) Do you own or know of a venue/organization that will partner with us in hosting a screening? Let us know! We are fortunate to have so many partners in sharing Rainbow Rider, from community groups to gay and lesbian bars, independent theaters, schools and universities, and advocates of all kinds.
