BREAKING NEWS: An Exciting Opportunity Just Became Available!

Mainspring Narrative Films has received a generous $5,000 matching grant offer to support the completion of our upcoming documentary Curating Modernism, premiering at Palm Springs Modernism Week in February 2026.


To activate these matching funds, we’re seeking one platinum donor to contribute $5,000. Your donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar—instantly doubling your impact.


As a thank-you, the donor will receive an exclusive first look at the finished film, a private conversation with director Jake Gorst, and their name included in the film’s credits. In recognition of this leadership gift, a $5,000 donor will also receive an Associate Producer credit in the film’s opening titles. The contribution is fully tax-deductible in the United States.


Of course, donations of any size will be matched up to $5,000—so every gift counts.
