Stretch Goal Message
Wow! We are so grateful for the ground roots support from over 450 donors to reach our goal, and with a couple of days to spare it's given us the opportunity to add a stretch goal!
What will that money be spent on? We’d love to be able to cover travel and accomodation costs for our dedicated team members, who have given their time and expertise to this project with no pay, to attend Life In One Chord’s World Premiere on 16th August at the Regent Theatre in Dunedin.
And there are still tickets available for the Premiere, which will be a special event with live music and the film of course and we’d love for you to join us!
Overview
Life in One Chord has taken seven years to complete. The film could not have happened without the support of a small but talented production and post-production crew, who kindly volunteered their expertise, time and equipment because they believed that this film should be made!
The music community opened their vaults, giving us access to their precious archives. Flying Nun allowed us to retrieve material that's never been heard or seen before. Life in One Chord is a treat for fans of Flying Nun, Shayne Carter, and anyone interested in the life of an artist.
The New Zealand Film Commission (NZFC) came on board to help fund the finishing of the film, which will premiere in Dunedin at the New Zealand International Film Festival (NZIFF), before touring around the main centres with the festival in August/September.
BUT we have one final financial hurdle to overcome… the cost of licensing!
This includes the use of archival footage from TVNZ, TV3 and most importantly the licensing of Shayne's music from his publisher.
We deeply appreciate any and all contributions, and all donors will get an onscreen credit. Tell all your friends and whanau who are Shayne Carter fans to do the same.
