Overview
In the documentary ALL CREATURES WELCOME we immerse with the slogan "use hacking as a mindset" in an adventure game and explore the world of hackers and nerds. Over 900 supporters already helped raising nearly 30.000€ in the first step. But we still need more funds to do the post production and complete the film. Help us to bring ALL CREATURES WELCOME to life and in the best case make it freely available – under a Creative Commons license! Please visit our FOLLOW UP CAMPAIGN.

SHORT

Thanks to everyone who contributed to our project in Round 1!! We are more than happy that so many people supported the project <3. With the money we realised the shooting and nearly the whole editing of the movie. But we still need more support to finish the post production and in the best case release the movie under a creative commons license. For this please visit our Follow Up Campaign :-).

(This is a new feathure by Indiegogo which was not available when we started the campaign.)

 

 

THE MOVIE

„Somehow I knew that the notional space behind
all of the computer screens would be one single universe.“
William Gibson

 

Together with the filmmaker and the slogan  "use hacking as a mindset" we immerse in a documentary adventure game and explore the world of Komputerfrieks, as they used to call themselves at the inaugural meeting of the Chaos Computer Club (CCC for short) in 1981. We come upon an open, free-spirited society. The events of the CCC are a kind of utopian real-world reflection of the virtual spectrum. We encounter angels, agents, activists, free Wifi network advocates, robots and furries, coders and makers. We learn what a hack is, why lockpicking can be important, how a cellular system works. We dive into the game and become part of the community that is as inclusive as it is sophisticated. Still outside of this collective the challenges are immense in an era, in which political certainties and institutions increasingly erode. Models of governance, economics, social order, technology and science are being put into question 24/7. With the internet’s rules of conduct, national laws are being repealed and transformed into global structures. While  the worldwide web would structurally actually allow a radical renewal of democracy, changing it from representation to participation, more and more states are drifting towards authoritarian societies in political reality. In the course of that process, en passant the largest surveillance machinery of human history has been created.
We see how the hacker culture meets these challenges and what inner contradictions it encounters. We learn that our lives are not determined by general, given truths but actually through the way we work, develop ourselves, suffer or dream. The events of the CCC become a possible blueprint of social upheaval. Self-organization, freedom of expression and critical discussion merge in a colorful, polyphonic chorus apart from social norms and capitalist constraints: "Be excellent to each other!“

Using hacking as a mind-set as well we want to find alternative methods in dealing with the financing of the production and distribution as well – with your support!

ABOUT ME

My name is Sandra Trostel and I am an independent filmmaker from Hamburg. After almost 10 years as editor for documentaries, feature films, commercials and music videos I began pursuing my own documentary projects and realized several music videos, among others Pantha Du Prince, Deichkind or Phantom Ghost. My first full-length documentary, UTOPIA LTD., opened the section Perspektive Deutsches Kino at the Berlin Film Festival in 2011. It was shown on further international festivals in Mexico, the Netherlands and Austria, had a cinema run and was shown on German TV. EVERYBODY'S CAGE, a movie on John Cage, was screened on festivals in Barcelona, Portland, Linz, Hamburg, Sao Paulo and Santiago de Chil  and had a cinema run and screenings at "Elbphilharmonie" Hamburg in 2017. ALL CREATURES WELCOME is my third feature-length film. www.sandratrostel.de

WHY WE ARE RUNNING A CROWD FUNDING CAMPAIGN?

With this movie we want to think out of the box by using hacking as a mind-set. Artistic freedom is essential for this.
Even if it seems easy in the age of the selfie: To make a good independent movie is still expensive. You need technique / equipment, a team of professionals, a passion for detail paired with an uninterrupted view at the big picture and a lot of time for a lot of work.
When it comes to the financing the restrictions of the film business are drawing narrow limits in form and content. For example: When you cooperate with public television  an independent design is virtually principally confined in voluntary rating enslavement. So if you have an artistic vision that is only slightly thinking out of the box you better look for financing and support elsewhere.

WHAT WE BELIEVE IN.

We believe that cultural content and knowledge should be available for everybody. That’s why we started this crowd funding campaign. Creative Commons is possible if many supporters with small contributions finance the film project- provided with an access to the finished movie and other perks in  exchange. At the end there could be a movie under a Creative Commons license - cultural content available for everybody!

WHAT WE HAVE ALREADY REACHED.

Thanks to over 900 supporters who believe in this project we already reached the first crowd funding goal and even more! We carried together so far 32.741,97 € GROSS (dt. Brutto), which means after tax, Indiegogo/Paypal fees and campaign costs 22.000 € TOTAL NET (dt.Netto) .

(For details on the alternative participation method click here.)

With the friendly support of the Hamburg film fund we have another 20.000€ Net (!Please note that this has to be payed back for a Creative Commons license!).

So the shooting is paid for and there is already a solid amount of money for the post production, which is always the most expensive part of filmmaking.

WHAT WE WANT TO REACH.

The  big goal is to finance the whole movie via crowd funding to make it available under a creative commons license (with CC license).

The production costs in total are 79.000 € net. 22.000 € net we’ve already raised through your wonderful contributions. And we got 20.000 € net through the friendly support of the Hamburg Film Fund, which we have to pay back if we want to make the movie creative commons.
To cover the production costs we need another 57.000 € net. Furthermore there are 10.830 € sales tax, plus 6.783 € Indiegogo and credit card fees. This means in total 81.396 € gross to produce ALL CREATURES WELCOME and make it creative commons. In the end we’ll need every cent to finish this movie and provide you with high quality!

FINANCIAL DIAGRAM

The production costs of a movie contain in detail things like equipment and travel costs, fees, color correction, sound design, sound mixing, music composition etc.


The second goal of the crowd funding campaign is to finally finance the post production of ALL CREATURES WELCOME with the help of the Hamburg Film Fund (without CC license).  The  big goal is to finance the whole movie via crowd funding to make it available under a creative commons license (with CC license).

PERKS

In order not to further boost the production costs we decided to offer just a few perks, all on the basis of the digital download of the finished movie. This means you get to watch the movie before everyone else and you do a good deed for the community. There are some limited extra options though.

There is one special perk I want to recommend you. TELL YOUR STORY - 45min SELECTED RAW MATERIAL to make your own little movie ☛ 100 €, gives you the possiblity be an active part of the project! You will get a nice 45min collection of raw material to edit your own little movie (max 5min) and show us your point of view. The material will be provided to you at the end of february 2017. As soon as your movie is finished you can put it on your chanels and we will put it on our website so we can share it with others. Please stay fair! This peark is ment by person. …and don’t take the magic away by putting the raw material online ;).

BE A SUPPORTER

If you want to be a supporter and maybe have a bit more money at hand, you'll  have the opportunity to raise your share at will during the payment process for your perk. Think about it! 

Everyone counts. If you can't afford any financial contribution, it doesn't mean you can't help. Please talk about the campaign, share it in your networks and help to circularize our cause. Help us to reach as many people as possible!

DELIVERY DATE

The new presumable delivery date will be August 2018. There will be a preview screening for the backers at the Chaos Communication Congress 34c3 2017.  I hope for your understanding.

RISKS AND CHALLENGES

The film will be finished in any case as we described above and you will get your perks! The status of the funding determines how long it will take to finish the movie and how long it will be. Your only risk is that because of the financing circumstances the delivery date might be delayed.
