Wow! Art Car people making a documentary film that is not about art cars! The film is about music. We need a jump start at IndieGoGo :
About this project
Song is the working title for a documentary film produced by Bruce Endres and directed by legendary filmmaker Les Blank. The film follows a song from creation through production. The film is also about the people involved. Beginning in Douglas, Arizona … a former copper smelting town of 15,000 folks, almost 50% living at or below the poverty line … Song traces the musical roots of the region and expresses those roots in feature-length documentary film format. That’s about it for the concept.
We have the song (Lela May) and songwriter (A guy named Bruce … not me, a different guy). We have regional musicians (more than a few with many styles). We have music art history (the clouds over Douglas inspired Ghost Riders in the Sky). We have youth and adults living in an economically challenged region who are expressing themselves through art performance (Yep).
This is a substantial project. IndieGoGo is our jump starter. Bring your jumper cables and help us start out our engine!
