The 2022 tax return of the Film Prize Foundation , chaired by Gregory Kallenberg, reflected travel expenses in 2022 of $92,940.

Reportedly, most if not all of these expenses were made by the benefit of Kallenberg. The Film Prize is funded by donations and grants--and it is an IRS non-profit organization.

An email has been sent to Kallenberg to detail these expenses. This information is requested by noon, next Friday, Sept. 13. The email requests that the expenses be broken down by trip location, who went on the trip, and what event(s) attended.

Hopefully, this information will be timely received. Kallenberg's response will be posted on this blog.
