Overview
I guess you could say filmmaking is in my blood. My grandfather made this his vocation and now here I am, a couple of generations later, about to begin my second year of film school. My Grampa is beloved by his community of Banff and as I came to realize this throughout my teens, I saw him through this lens and also a personal one. Films have been made about him but I have a different take on who Eddie Hunter is, and want to bring this to life on film.

* Anyone who contributes over $25 will receive a social media shoutout and will be credited in my film.*

I appreciate absolutely any amount. For a special perk check out the $250 + perk where you receive an original painting from Eddie Hunter 

Short Summary

I am a film student heading into my second year of a four year degree program at Humber College. I share a great passion for film with my grandfather. This, and a similar sense of humour is what, I feel, bonds us. My Grampa, Eddie Hunter, is 92 years old and I feel a need and desire to share all the stories and knowledge he has through a medium we both know a lot about. I haven't seen my grandfather in a couple of years so this campaign is important to me to fill that void by spending quality time with him, but also to capture what an amazing human being he truly is. I know that everyone in the small town of Banff knows my Grampa, or at least of him, so I want to create a short film that shows exactly who this man is and why everyone  loves him so easily. For those of you who haven't met Eddie Hunter, here are some fun facts: It's not uncommon to see him still rollerblading at Banff's Vermillion Lakes or biking up the Norquay Road. His latest passion is his new kayak that family gave him for his 91st birthday. He still takes a photo a day and cares deeply about the mountain community in which he lives. Having these funds will enable me to fly there, from Toronto, with rented film equipment. Your contributions will allow me to spend a good amount of time filming with professional equipment, that will allow me to apply the skills I'm learning in my program.  I want to do my Grampa justice by creating a film that perfectly mirrors who he is. 

What We Need & What You Get

My Budget is $3780.

What this budget includes:

- The flight to get to Calgary, Alberta

- Professional film equipment rentals 

- Transportation (Calgary to Banff + Return)

- Contribute to food costs 

- I've included some personal income in my budget to cover a portion of the time I will be taking off work for 10 days to create this film.

- Plus the percentage that Indiegogo takes from the campaign, the transfer and credit card fees. 

If I do not reach my entire goal, I will set aside the amount of money I make and continue to raise funds or work to make this projects achievable. Any extra funds raised may enable me to spend more time in Banff, working on the film, if required or will be applied to my equipment expenses this fall when I resume school. If you have have any questions about anything please don't hesitate to contact me. I want to be transparent and communicative through this entire process. Email: sadiemaycock@gmail.com

Perks to contributors include: Shoutouts on social media and credit in the film for all contributors plus an original watercolour painting by Eddie Hunter for the first two people to donate over $250. 

The Impact

At 92 my Grampa is still very active and enjoys talking about the time he's enjoyed in Banff and travelling around the world. I feel I have an incredible opportunity in front of me, and apart from the personal journey I'm about to take, I believe that what I capture will be inspirational for a wider audience. 

Risks & Challenges

I am confident that I will capture what I need in the amount of time I have given this project, but there will always be the challenge to schedule certain events or people to appear in the film. What I will eventually capture is a bit of a 'wildcard' but I believe this could also be the beauty of what I'm about to do. I look forward to seeing where the story takes us. 

Other Ways You Can Help

I appreciate everyone who takes the time to read through my campaign, I know not everyone is able to donate, so I would truly appreciate it if you could share my campaign on social media by using the Indiegogo share tools. Thank you!
