Here's a look at a wonderful collaborative effort by filmmakers across America to capture the evolving story of the Occupy Movement. This project is funded on Kickstarter and it's not too late to get involved. Please take a look at the trailer. I have a copy of the DVD coming when it's completed for showings in Taos and Santa Fe. Stay tuned!
On Oct 1, 2011 a few award-winning filmmakers in NY teamed up to make a collaborative film about the Occupy Wall Street Movement. They called and wrote to their filmmaker friends, and they to theirs. Soon, there were over 60 people across the country who had come together to join the collaborative film.
It started with a few filmmakers in NY, but within a couple weeks people were joining in Denver, Portland, LA, Boston, Seattle, Philly, DC, Kansas City, Miami, Pittsburgh, Austin, Dallas, Rhode Island, Nashville, Chicago, San Francisco, Oakland, in short: it took off all over the country. Skilled editors got onboard, PR people, producers, post production supervisors, a supervising editor signed on, post production services were donated by Metropolis Post, Duotone contributed library music, and everyone started pitching in what they could.
Please help support this project in any way possible.
