A Film: The Giver Gives to Give

Donation protected
The Giver Gives to Give is a black & white silent film experiment shot on 16mm directed and produced by Silken Weinberg and Angela Ricciardi.  With an All-Star cast of musicians and an original score by SASAMI, this film is a pure exploration of human potential rooted in noise and Rock N’ Roll.  We made this film as a pursuit to deeper understand our own hearts and the hearts of others, what it means to give and how to navigate the circus of it all. Now that the film has been produced, filmed and moving on to the editing stage it is now time to do justice to our amazing cast and crew who made this dream a reality.  We are asking for donations to ensure we are able to wrap this project with proper compensation for our entire crew as well as to cover basic screenings and distrubtion.
