Marina Green was District 9´s Tribute in the Quarter Quell in Catching Fire. For her new project as producer of the short film “Refuge” she is still searching for supporters.

Refuge tells the story of Rachel, a young Jewish-American woman who moves to Vienna, Austria to work for the IAEA.

When confronted with their shared cultural history, Rachel must reconcile her past with Austria’s Holocaust history and the current refugee crisis gripping Europe. 

If you want to help funding Marina´s project you can choose between different perks (depending on how much you donate).

And now the info you Tributes could interest in the most, if you are willing to dig deep (really deep) into your pockets:

You can get a signed copy of Catching Fire, with autographs of Jennifer Lawrence, Philip Seymour Hofman, Sam Claflin, Jena Malone and more! There is only one copy available. You can get it here.

If you don´t have this kind of money (like us sadly) you can also get the official Catching Fire cast cap here, also only 1 available.

And if you just want to help Marina you can always just donate for another perk.

The six flak towers of Vienna, Austria. These behemoths watch Rachel’s every move, and are constant reminders of Austria’s past.

Keeping the memory alive...

This parallels the plight of the Syrian refugees so well, who are currently being kept out through fences made of barbed wire.

Chancellor Werner Faymann’s sudden resignation sets the stage for a right-wing resurgence.

This article from the New York Times strikes very close to what my short film REFUGE is about.  Please help spread the word and don’t let the far right win again in Europe!

Austrian chancellor steps down after election drubbing

Austria's Chancellor Werner Faymann is stepping down and will also resign as head of the Social Democrats.
