MFHQ & YOU:
It’s Time for CUBiz: The Short Form!
We’re taking this week off from slaving away at the Secret MICRO-FILM Headquarters so we can be human just like all of you. (Even super-humans need their social time and beauty sleep.) Have a great, safe, and thoughtful Thanksgiving! Please give the less fortunate reasons to be thankful as well.

You can order by using the “Donate” PayPal button here or sending cash/check/money order/cashier’s check to: Jason Pankoke, Editor, MICRO-FILM, 401 N. Prairie, Suite 3D, Champaign, IL, 61820. Documents should be made payable to “Jason Pankoke” and personal/business checks will have to sit 4-6 weeks to clear.
