Today, IndieGoGo and Sausalito Film Festival will launch a new event called the Tease and Screen. The idea is to give filmmakers an opportunity to show clips from works-in-progress and invite audience members to participate as funders, crew, or publicity-generators. The work is featured at the Festival and on IndieGoGo.com.
The inaugural Tease and Screen showcases a number of projects:
o The Harvest – by Robin Romano (produced by Eva Longoria and the producers of War Dance) – A documentary about the children who work to feed America.
o Time to Impact – by Tom Cappello (produced by Dan Abrams and Richard Krasney) – A documentary about Paterson, NJ. Is it possible to turn a city around in 365 days?
o As The Dust Settles – by Arin Crumley (produced by Mike Hedge) – A participatory film, collaboratively shot and edited about life-changing experiences, the Zeitgeist and Burning Man.
o Eloquent Graffiti – by Zak Forsman – A story about the inability of humans to connect in a meaningful way despite the increasing presence of social technologies designed to do exactly that.
o Tapestries of Hope – by Michealene Christini Risly (produced by Michelle Titus) – A documentary about two activists from two corners of the world taking on a government and an urban myth to protect young girls from rape and abuse.
o Win or Lose: A Summer Camp Story – by Louis Lapat – A character driven, personal documentary about the thrill of the win and the agony of defeat… at summer camp.
I’ll have more on IndieGoGo and its funding model and an interview with Slava Rubin, its founder, in the coming days.
