We recently learned about a new documentary film titled Mixed Match that is planned for release in 2013. The film, directed by Jeff Chiba Stearns and produced by Meditating Bunny Studio Inc. and Mixed Marrow, will explore the critical and important issues related to the need for bone marrow and cord blood donors by mixed race people. While the film production has already started, the production team has set up a fundraising website at Indiegogo to help fund the project to completion. Please take a look at this film project and help out however you can, even if only by spreading word about it. About Mixed Match: Mixed Match is an important human story told from the perspective of youth who are forced to discover their identities through their deadly illnesses and how their mixed backgrounds threaten their chances at survival, thus highlighting why in this day and age, race still matters. With the help of Mixed Marrow and first-hand stories from patients and their supporters, we hope to spread awareness about the need for multiethnic donors worldwide.
