If you recall, I dedicated one of my Magnetic Poetry poems to director Chris Weitz, who promised to donate $1000 for Japan relief in recognition of a winning haiku submitted to him. The winner was Twitter user spunk_ransom.
However, Weitz increased his pledge in recognition of the number of people who participated; here’s a photo of him making the donation.
In addition, he’s donating a dollar for each of his Tweets and each time he reTweets through the end of March. He’s currently very active on Twitter, because he has a new movie to promote: A Better Life, so the dollars are adding up. What a way to show his affection and compassion for Japan.
Thanks for writing about this. My friends in Japan are okay but I know a lot are not. Chris Weitz is a rocking director and a good guy.
Thanks for commenting. He certainly seems to be. And I like his movies. =)
