Candy's Documentary Completion

Donation protected
I am an artist and filmmaker who has been working on a documentary for 10 years and I need help to get to the next phase of completing film production while moving into editing. I have been meeting people I know from online bookclubs, and social media and interviewing them about what their activity online means to them. How has discussing books, movies, and life online influenenced their lives?

Not only I will benefit from your support but dozens of others, including yourself, will be part of an adventure of the mind and emotions. Since the pandemic, and being months inside, using the internet for social life I have re-connected with this project in a new way. My internet relationships have become more highlighted  and in the forefront during the crisis. This film project has become quite urgent to me in a new way. 

I have funded this project by meyself for 10 years. Recently I had a $800 donation to help me get to Florida for a new interview. I realized I need a few more details to drive forward this really fascinating movie. I need a laptop to use on locations. I need to hire a camera operator and sound person in four or five different locations for a day shoot at each location. And I need trasporation and accommodation. And I need help from you and others. 

This is a project very close to my heart as I have met so many great people online and become involved in their ideas, life, hopes and dreams. Many of these folks have shared intimate ideas about their lives as well as movies, tv, literature with each other sometimes passionately. We have shared in ways that transcend material needs often found in other social settings. When I talk about this film with other people they get very interested and see it as something meaningful to them and others. So this film is a benefit for observing human nature for all of us. Plus, I will post all kinds of behind the scenes video for you in the next few weeks, and share my phone number so you can text me and ask questions, or check in here to see updates. You really will see behind the scenes of a documentary in progress.
