One of the unique aspects of this film is that much of the financing has come from grassroots fundraising. Family members, friends, and film lovers—people like you—have come forward to support the production by attending fundraisers, buying t-shirts, posters and DVDs, and making generous donations to the film fund.   Now, with less than a month left before the cameras start rolling, we’re making the final push to meet our fundraising goal…and we need your help. Below you'll be able to contribute online and help The Guatemalan Handshake come to life.

You NEED this shirt. They're very limited edition, sweatshop-free, smooth-as-silk T-shirts exclusively designed by VINTAGE VANTAGE. Simple, elegant, and bold...these shirts not only proclaim your dedication to independent film, they make you the coolest kid on the block. Pledging $35 to the film gets you into one of these fine garments. Available in Men/Women's sizes S-XL and Girl's sizes S-M

ALL SHIRTS ARE CURRENTLY SOLD OUT
New shirts will be available soon.

Say wha? I can already buy the poster?

That's right...not in a mass produced, cheap glossy paper way, either. No, sir. These posters have been HAND MADE by Baltimore's greatest artisan/filmmaker/wunderkind ALEX ROPER . Made in a VERY limited series of 100, these silk-screened posters have been signed and numbered and are ready for framing. Unique, rare, stylish.

Pledging $100 to the film nets you the official GUATEMALAN HANDSHAKE poster, plus the rest of our collectable goodies.
