It's been a while since the last update and much has occurred over the past two weeks.
Since the beginning of January, I have been actively involved in creating a documentary about the longest running experimental music festival in the WORLD, the NorCal Noisefest.
This documentary will also cover the history of the experimental music genre as well as the discussion of whether or not it is music.
I am genuinely excited to be working on this documentary and not afraid to pour my personal finances into this.
Fortunately my daring partner, Chad, and I are not afraid to ask for money either.
Below is the video Chad made for its Kickstarter page, and if this doesn't get you excited about the documentary then you are clearly catatonic:
With the unfortunate tanking of the Kickstarter funding page, we're now setting one up on Indiegogo (note: unlike Kickstarter, you will receive funds regardless since there is no set goal to be reached).
We have also gone over several other fundraising options such as: benefit dinner (currently organizing), social/mixer while viewing footage of previous Noise Fests, possible benefit show with noise-friendly troupes and so on.
For the Noise Fest XV meeting held on May 29th revealed that unlike previous festivals, this year will have five days' worth of performers instead of three.
For us that will mean nonstop filming from 10am to midnight for Wednesday, September 28th through Sunday, October 2nd. At this point in time I know we will have at least 3 cameras and 4 volunteers for the show.
The logo used for this year has also been revealed, which I find a perfect and total encompassment of the genre.
All of the above can be viewed at the NorCal Noisefest webpage.
In the meantime, we will still continue with filming the meetings and making travel arrangements for our interviewees.
'Til next time!
