&lt;p&gt;In order to maintain high quality screenings at the 4th annual Dam Short Film Festival (Feb. 7-9, 2008), we need to purchase additional video/audio equipment. In particular, we would like to buy a  Sony HVR-M15U HDV deck. (The deck plays HDV, DVCAM, and miniDV.) A new one runs $1600.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;center&gt;
&lt;img src="http://www.damshortfilm.org/pledge/deck.jpg" border="0" height="190" alt="" width="300"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/center&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We've borrowed equipment in the past, but it's led to numerous breakdowns and headaches. And, unforunately, rental equipment in the Las Vegas area is either inappropriately expensive or of poor quality.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Any donations towards the $1600 are greatly appreciated. We're a 501(c)(3) Nevada non-profit corporation. At present, none of our staff draws a salary.&lt;/p&gt;
