Our Story
I could tell you lots of stories but I am just going to say this: I love our film and we have been working on it for a long time to capture great stuff that we feel you will enjoy and now YOU can be part of it! [Please check out the wonderful locations video attached].
Looking for George is a truly grassroots, donations-only international "community" project that was shot in several formats in 10 cities all over the world: Athens, Santorini, Paris, Cannes, Berlin, Amsterdam, New York, L.A., San Juan and Tijuana, while travelling on free tickets, staying at hostels and carrying our sack lunches. Shot any way we could, the film is about George (oh yes), places, celebrities, music, art and the entertainment industry. But I hope that you will trust us and let us finish the film before we say any more. We hope that you will help us finish the film we have worked so hard at by making a contribution or forwarding the request to a friend. You will be our best friend forever :)!
The Impact
Well, let's see. We feel the film will take you in a journey of discovery of culture and art and in the process you might learn a thing or two you might not know about these locations, the people and, at the same time, enjoy yourself. You will also see celebrities that you love!
Now as far as the impact of not raising our goal: we will be evicted and will not be able to have a place to edit!!!!! Perhaps we will even ask YOU if we can couchsurf at YOUR place for a couple of months; believe me, you don't want that.
On a serious note, we don't know the impact of our film in people but we believe in the impact and the need for the promotion of arts in our communities. We can only say that at least you will get to about art, music, the entertainment industry and what it is to be a filmmaker and an artist in general.
What We Need & What You Get
We need a minimum of $15,000 for postproduction (and if you don't know what that means because you are not in the industry: it means to finish the film so you guys can watch it ~ that is the music, the editing, the color grading, the this, and the that ~ which is all expensive stuff!). The funding you contribute will be used to secure editing time, doing the music, blending the different formats in which the film was shot and on an animation and reshoot.Do we have other funding sources? No. We just couldn't wait. This lovely project has been made entirely with donations from caring community members like yourself. So your contribution, however small, is important and will help us finish the project.
But if you are going to donate, please do so now as time is of the essence in the next weeks as we are trying to finish the film in time for a film festival deadline. What's in it for you? Well, our gratitude for one. Some great stuff. It ranges from exclusive still photos from the film, to having your event filmed by the director, to getting Executive Producer credit in our film! And if there is a perk that you want to see listed, please do not hesitate to contact us and we will try to offer it to you! Please check the perks level below!
Other Ways You Can Help
If after we tell you hooooow much we need you, you still find that you can't help us financially, we would appreciate it if you could please help us spread the word and forward the campaign via email, Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn and by telling as many of your friends as you can. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts ~ as you know, it takes a village!
Much love,
The director, and the team of Looking for George
