Hello friends!
Here is a quick update:
Here is a quick update:
- The JUST GIMME INDIE ROCK! movie trailer is complete and ready to submit to potential executive producers/financiers. Until we have all the rights to the historic footage, we can't post it publicly, but we can email the link to individuals. Please contact Producer/Director Brad Katz at aristokatz@gmail.com or communications manager amykatz@justgimmeindierock.com if you or someone you know would be interested in seeing the trailer and coming on board as a major funder!
- We have some exciting interviews lined up with your favorite indie bands: clips coming to you soon!
- We are considering running another Kickstarter campaign. Asking friends, family and strangers for $$$ to support our dream, especially when Indie Rock may not have been their thing, is a hard thing to do. Yet, spreading our love and appreciation for this genre is largely what this film is all about. Our first campaign brought in amazingly generous pledges of nearly $10,000. Yet, it took awhile to get the word out and so we didn't raise all $75,000, which means we weren't able to accept any of the donations (one of the drawbacks of the kickstarter.com fan funding site.) Yet, in the last few months, we have had 11,000 people visit this blog alone; thousands more have viewed our clips on youtube.com of the exclusive interviews we did with Merritt, Barlow and the Submarines (scroll down for earlier posts to see these.) The majority of visitors to these sites found us after our fundraising campaign ended. Your continued attention and support keeps us going emotionally. Now, if only we can find some serious money, we can launch full speed ahead into non-stop production!
MORE SOON!
