Marionette Documentary - Help Finish The Film
Donation protected
Please Help Our Documentary Get Distributed!
"Marionette Land" needs your support to finally get distributed to the world on VOD (Video On Demand - iTunes, etc.) and DVD/Blu-Ray. We have a distribution offer and now must submit a bunch of legal mumbo jumbo in order to complete the deal. The $15,000 we seek to raise will help pay for the following:
-A Lawyer for the film
-Film Clearance Report
-E&O insurance
-Music licenses for distribution
-Producer Rep
About The Film
"Marionette Land" is a feature length documentary about Robert Brock, a charismatic puppeteer who lives above his own puppet theatre with his mom, Mary Lou. They have been keeping this quirky puppet theatre alive for over 30 years. The documentary chronicles a pivotal time in their career as they struggle to keep the doors open while preparing to celebrate its 30th anniversary. Marionette Land showcases Robert Brock's imagination and creativity as he builds the marionettes, writes the shows, and performs a variety marionette shows for families (Peter Pan, Wizard of Oz) and grown-ups, where he straps on his heels to become famous stars of the past like Liza Minnelli, Judy Garland, Carol Channing, and more.
The documentary world premiered at the 29th Philadelphia Film Festival and won Best Documentary at the Omaha Film Festival in March 2021. That led us to signing with Circus Road Films to represent the film. We received a distribution offer and hope to release the film WORLDWIDE later this year. But in order to do that, we need your help.
Anyone who donates to the film will get their name in the end credits if they wish.
Please help us get Robert's story out into the world. You wouldn't just be supporting the film, you would be supporting Robert and his marionette theatre, which has been a staple of Lancaster City for over 30 years. Rob's charismatic spirit and story is the perfect shot of humor and inspiration that we could all use right now. Please help us make this happen.
Thank you,
Alexander Monelli (director)
