Kickstarter Campaign
We've been working on this film since 2003. When people would tell me that they had been working on their documentary films for 3, 4, 5 years, I'd think - are you nuts? And yet, here we are, 9 years later working to get our first documentary film "Delta Rising" out to the world. The campaign is based on partnering with blues fans around the world to get this film into their hands. Making a film is one thing, covering the music rights, insurance, covering distribution, archival footage etc is another. In order to get this movie out there we need to have our i's dotted and our t's crossed.
Today I worked with one of the other producers, Matthew Goff, to come up with a campaign game plan and are running that by, Laura Bernieri, our other producer. It is important to be clear about your goals, what you're asking people for and why. So we're kicking the kicking of kicking it off off. Stay tuned.
