How it all started

About a year ago I started to wonder more and more often why we struggle so much with change - be it with death or starting to live in a more ethical way. My first thought was to write a book, something I'd normally do in a situation like this. But then I felt that maybe it was the right subject to do a film on.

For many years I've been working as a photographer, a DJ and a writer. I've always been curious about what would happen if I combined these three -  what if I could use images, sound and words all in one project? The time to find out had arrived...

The film

In January 2015 I invested in some decent recording equipment and started to work on anicca. I travelled to Devon (UK), to Berlin and Potsdam (Germany), to the Greek islands and to Andalucía in Southern Spain. On my journey I met up with a mother, a school teacher, a funeral celebrant, a buddhist, a clown, a yogi, a rapper and a sailor. They've all talked very honestly and openly about change - about the unknown, about new beginnings, about death, fear, choices and hopes.


Status quo

I've got all of the material and I have edited already about 80% of the film - total running time will be about 80min. The next two months (September and October) I will finish the editing and then I will work on the subtitles. The film features people talking in English, German and Spanish, so translations are necessary for all three languages.
In November a website needs to be done, and DvDs too. If everything goes according to plan, anicca will be released in December 2015.

What I need

So far I've covered all costs by myself, about 5.000 Euros (recording equipment, editing equipment, travelling). To get the film out, I will need extra money for a website, for music licenses, the DvD authoring and production and for some of the translations. All this amounts to a minimum of 2.800 Euros - hence, this is an all-or-nothing campaign, meaning I will only receive the funding if at least the minimum has been reached.

What you get

Everyone who participates in this crowdfunding campaign will have his or her name in the thank you credits at the end of the film. Which product (or perk, as it is known in the crowdfunding world) you choose is up to you. The options include a streaming voucher, a DvD, a t-shirt (organic and fairtrade), private screenings and a personal documentary made about a day of your life.

Most importantly though, you will have the wonderful feeling of participating in an exciting film project. Whenever I've joined crowdfunding campaigns in the past, this was what most appealed to me: that I wasn't a mere consumer of a product, but a part of its creation.

Why anicca is for you

Everybody I've talked to in the last eight months was really interested in the subject of change. And the thing is, how could you not be interested in it? Change is a natural law and influences our lives in every single moment. So whether it's about accepting changes that simply happen or about changing voluntarily - anicca is bound to give you some answers (and perhaps some new questions too).

How you can help

By choosing one (or more) of the perks you help to pre-finance the last steps needed to get anicca out into the world. Just go to the sidebar and click directly on the product you want.
