Everything is Forever premiered in April at the 47th WorldFest Houston International Film Festival. Right out of the gate we won awards in both film & music.
The international premiere at the Starigrad Paklenica Film Festival also saw the film honored with a Special Jury Award for Multiculturalism and Peace.
As the film continues its festival run we are working hard on bringing it to a wider audience. This involves teaming up with other professionals whose contacts in the industry will get the film screened by the proper distributors and TV network executives.
In order to team with a sales rep and make this happen we need your support. The money contributed will pay for the initial marketing expenses and will give Everything is Forever a chance to bring its message of peace to a very large audience.
The Backstory
The making of Everything is Forever has at times felt like forever, as over the course of 15 years I have traveled the world with Nenad as he traversed the rocky terrain of the music business. As a crew of one I was able to capture most intimately the heartbreaks and exhilaration that emerge from creation. Nenad has made a Herculean effort to not only get his songs heard but his message of peace heard as well. One of the highlights of this journey was to bear witness to his recording the haunting acappella sounds of Klapa, a Croatian folk form, with its universal themes of love, the sea, and the human fight for freedom.

![About the Filmmaker]()
My partner, Stephanie Silber, and I run a small, independent film production company called Home Team Productions and have been making films for over 30 years and have profiled some pretty amazing people, including Max Patkin, the Clown Prince of Baseball; singer Cyndi Lauper; Oscar winner Robert Duvall; and Rory Gallagher, a rocker too good for the Stones. Each of these films explores the truths, the process, and the passions of these extraordinary people.
Our last indie film, RANDOM LUNACY, tells the story of post-modern hobo Poppa Neutrino, a man who raised his family homeless by choice.
Over the course of its three-year long festival run, it became a world-wide favorite. The run concluded with the film's selection for the prestigious Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Filmmakers, where it played to packed houses in eight states.
The Subject : Nenad Bach
![Nenad at TEDX]( "A message of peace")
Nenad was a rock star in Croatia, his native country, but in 1984 he made the decision to expatriate in order to follow his dream of finding a US market for his music. The singer/ songwriter has appeared, Zelig-like with musicians ranging from Bono to Pavarotti to Garth Hudson of The Band. He has hobnobbed with actors and heads of state in his role of unofficial ambassador for peace, having experienced the trauma of war back home, to emerge empowered to effect change. His song, CAN WE GO HIGHER?, became an anthem in Croatia. He remains committed to his work as "a citizen of the world," and as a tireless antiwar activist, the driving passion which infuses his life and the music he creates.
