<div>Hi! I'm Charles, a writer and widower. I'm producing a film about my late wife.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At age 48, the love of my life and high school sweetheart, Kara Muir, learned she had stage 4 colorectal cancer. No one who has been diagnosed with a terminal illness should feel obliged to share their struggles, but being a performer, she did. <em>With the power of social media and an invisible guitar.</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Sparkle On film is a cancer journey movie that glams up our worst fears, an underdog story like nothing you’ve seen and a tribute to artists with weird hobbies.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This movie will be a full-length feature. From the moment Kara rubbed my arm and told me, “It’s okay, babe,” after hearing she had a cancerous mass, I watched her tap into an extraordinary wellspring of creativity that turned a four-year battle into a triumph of collective imagination over personal calamity. Her story deserves to be told in depth.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This film addresses our fears of cancer in an empathetic and holistic way. We need more stories that shift the framing of the successful cancer patient from survivor to creator regardless of the outcome. By representing herself as a powerful and assured artist living with late-stage cancer, Kara made an impact that echoes beyond her lifetime. She didn’t need a remission story to be a role model for those facing serious adversity, nor did she need a real guitar to inspire people to get off the couch and unleash their inner rock star!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This film is my soul work. I want Kara's story to inspire more collaboration between arts and cancer communities. Movies like <em>Sparkle On!</em> can inspire us to live more creatively, cope with our fear of death, and comfort families in grief. It’s my story, too, as I share my part in Kara’s journey as her ride or die and cheerleader through the lens of award-nominated Portland, Oregon filmmaker and musician, Adam Sweeney.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for any contribution that you can give. We’re grateful to you for joining us as we tell this <strong>real-life rock’n’roll cancer adventure story!</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Let’s melt some faces off!
</div>
<div>Charles Austin Muir
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>YOUR FUNDS will go toward paying my small crew who all have regular jobs and completing post-production. This movie WILL be made!
</div>
