A Love Song To The Earth

Donation protected


Dear Friends,
My name is Jessica Roemischer. I’m a pianist and storyteller, New York-born and raised. I live now in Sydney, Australia. In these times of challenge and uncertainty, wherever you are in the world, I hope this finds you well.

I’m asking for your support to manifest a dream I've held for a long time. It's a vision of hope and inspiration - a music and story video called, "A Love Song to The Earth."

Why the Need?
One year ago, most of us couldn't imagine life today. Our challenges and the need for deep healing, are far and wide. A  New Year will be upon us, the holidays are approaching.  We need messages of REAL hope and REAL meaning - a vision that touches the hearts and lives of all who experience it. That's my goal.

What You'll Make Possible...
"A Love Song to The Earth," is a 5-7 minute video produced with a small team of talented and dedicated individuals. It's a message of love, hope and faith at this very challenging time.

To give this gift for the Holiday season - a time that will be difficult for many -  filming needs to start on November 29th. That's the urgency.

Now imagine...
Dawn is breaking on the Pacific, at the edge of the oldest continent on earth--Australia. A majestic, grand piano sits high on a bluff, overlooking the ocean. The magnificence of nature's glory emerges with the new light. The ancient musical sound of the didgeridoo ripples out, filling the silence. As the sun rises, an evocative story begins with lilting piano melodies...unfolding...calling to the heart with a vision of our world healed.

Here's more about what you'll help us give the world...

The centerpiece of the video is an uplifting story with my original piano music,  accompanied by Gumaroy Newman, one of the finest Indigenous musicians in Australia. The video is filmed in captivating, high-definition aerial and land photography by acclaimed filmmaker, Jim Hare.

The story, music and gorgeous location shots celebrate our humanity--the unique gifts and essential goodness in each of us. 

Including the children...


Including nature and the living world...


As we vitalize the ancient peoples walking the earth, and from whence we come...


And awaken to our place in the cosmos...


This is our Universal message of hope. Please support us!

Sponsorship and Your Donation
This video is proudly sponsored by the Roland Corporation, a global leader in music. Roland is making a lot possible! Like the challenge of placing a magnificent grand piano at the edge of the ocean. Thanks to Roland, we're benefiting from Joe Arthur's artistic input and direction. Roland is also funding Gumaroy Newman, one of Australia's great Indigenous musicians, whose playing will feature in the film. Insurance, and required permits are covered.  As a result of Roland's sponsorship, a wide audience is assured!

But your support is needed! Here's why...
We need the funds to pay our esteemed cinematographer, Jim Hare. He's generously filming and editing the video at a fraction of the cost for a project of this quality.  As well, the additional production details will be covered.

Jessica is writing and producing this project 'pro bono.'

Your support is needed ASAP so we can complete "A Love Song to The Earth" for the holidays. 

EVERY donation is greatly appreciated and will make this possible! You'll receive the soundtrack as a downloadable mp3. For your generous donation of $100 or more, you'll be acknowledged in the video notes.

Please help us fulfill this dream! Thank you so much!

From the "Love Song to The Earth" team,
Jessica Roemischer
