Sparkle On! A Film About Hope & the Queen of PDX Air Guitar

Donation protected
Sparkle On! is a documentary feature about Kara Muir, Portland, Oregon's Queen of Air Guitar! Kara was a multitalented artist and performer who battled stage 4 cancer while twice competing in the U.S. Air Guitar National Championships! Check out what her husband Charles has to say about her:

Just weeks shy of her 49th birthday, Kara was diagnosed with stage 4 colorectal cancer in the spring of 2019. Six months later, she launched a blog inviting readers to join her as she navigated an incurable illness.

"I want to share my experiences," she wrote, "because maybe something I do can ignite a spark in you."

Over the next four years, she published over 400 essays bubbling with levity, intimacy, and unabashed optimism. She showed readers that serious illness is not a medical narrative, but an opportunity to give the world your most vibrant self.

Whether blogging in a post-surgical delirium, belly dancing through a major abscess, or shredding her way to becoming America's second best air guitarist despite a colostomy and chemo, Kara dared us to see how wild, creative, and sparkly we can be in the face of our mortality.

From Charles's testimony as well as our video, you can see why we're making a film about Kara. We have an amazing story on our hands! Please consider helping fund post-production. THANK YOU for joining us!

Love and sparkles,
Charles, Adam, Bethany, and Jennie
