Longtime friend of ATP, filmmaker Vincent Moon is well known for his Take-Away Shows series, for contributing to Warp's full length All Tomorrow's Parties documentary and directing fantastic full length films for The National, Arcade Fire, Efterklang, Mogwai and more.
Today Vincent is launching a Kickstarter project called 'From ATP'.
Kickstarter is a platform for crowd-funding creative ideas and ambitious endeavors. It is funded by an all-or-nothing funding method where projects must be fully funded, or no money changes hands. Projects include films, music, albums, and consumer products. Rewards are given to those who contribute. The reward you receive will be dependant on how much you give, but the minimum pledge is $1.
Here are some details:
Vincent Moon (the Take Away Shows) went to ATP as a fan on numerous occasions documenting his experiences each time. Some of his footage was used in the fan-sourced feature documentary All Tomorrow’s Parties (directed by All Tomorrow’s People and Jonathan Caouette - http://warp.net/films/atp). That film was completed and released in 2009 but Vincent continued to return to the festival and shoot as a fan, running around the site capturing the unique atmosphere and some incredible performances in his own inimitable style.
The edit for his first stand-alone short film was completed last year and the footage for the next 3 short films is in the can. Please help us complete post-production so we can get the films out into the world for free (after an exclusive 3 month period where they’ll be available for contributors only).
With your help we will edit a further trilogy of short films (each one approximately 30 minutes) in order to complete this unique project. Bands documented, and intended for the final films (subject to clearance) include Broken Social Scene, Explosions In The Sky, Four Tet, Animal Collective, The National, Saul Williams, Monotonix, Fantomas, Taraf De Haidouks, Teenage Jesus And The Jerks, Rahzel, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Afrirampo, Sleepy Sun and many others.
The four films will be:
- From Smoke - Portishead’s Nightmare Before Christmas, narrated by Damo Suzuki.
- From Hybrid - Explosions in the Sky’s ATP, narrated by Saul Williams.
- The Melvins/Mike Patton curated Nightmare Before Christmas, narrated by Lydia Lunch
- 10 Years of All Tomorrow’s Parties festival, narrated by Josh Pearson.
Your contributions will help us pay for:
- Film editing fees (an editor, the rental of an edit machine, and color grading)
- Legal work, permissions and clearances for music and artists included in the films.
- Sound mixing and post production.
- Hard drives for the footage and web hosting fees for the eventual video.
If you want to get involved in helping to get these films finished and released, check out the Kickstarter page now to see a trailer and get more info. You can pledge anywhere from $1 to $5000, and you will receive special rewards for your contribution - from CD’s, DVD’s & Posters to film credits, festival tickets and your own personal film, made for you by Vincent Moon, anywhere in the world.
