HELP FILMMAKER BENH ZEITLIN!!!!

Short filmmaker Benh Zietlin was in Austin, Texas March 9th, 2008 to World Premiere his film GLORY AT SEA. Unbelievably and unfortunately, Benh got in a serious car accident just hours before his screening. He shattered his hip (which has been replaced), broke his pelvis, and sprained both his ankles.

While his was showing to an enthusiastic crowd, Benh was in surgery.

His medical bills have added up to about $80,000!!!!!!!!!

His producer Dan Janvey says: "The guy is hella strong so his spirits remain high."

So even though his film was super well received and even went on to win the very first SXSW Wholphin Award, Behn left Austin all smashed up and in big time debt.
