<div><strong>Arson of Crows, the film</strong>
</div>
<div>written by Scot Augustson
</div>
<div>directed by Keri Healey
</div>
<div>produced by Becky Bruhn
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Arson of Crows is a spoken-word essay and one-man monologue that chronicles the complicated path of beloved Seattle playwright Scot Augustson as he loses his first husband to a meth addiction.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Written during the pandemic and performed on stage in Seattle, Arson of Crows earned enthusiastic praise from audiences. It has “incredible wit, humor, and sheer verbal brilliance accompanied by superb comic timing.”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The sheer number of lives lost to addiction is almost impossible to comprehend. Through his deeply human story, Scot offers us a perspective on that loss while at the same time embracing the joy of living and the significance of community.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>We have secured initial funds to film Arson of Crows. However, we need your help to flesh out the budget.</strong> Our first priority for funds we raise is paying people for their work. The three principals in this project are forgoing pay in order to devote the budget to hiring a professional crew. We know the artists and professionals we hire won't get rich from the project, but we respect their skills and want to give them more than just love.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Beyond the people, there are plenty of things a project like this needs to raise it above bare-bones production and to help it find distribution. We'll be adding those things as funding allows.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Arson of Crows will be filmed in Seattle in January 2025.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The film combines the intimacy of the theater performance with visual storytelling to capture Scot’s openhearted, literate, and surprisingly funny account.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The film features Scot’s handmade quilts, created as a response to his husband's decline and death. Each quilt was inspired by a different moment in his story.
</div>
