Thank you for visiting our page!
It’s not often you see a fundraising campaign for a Music Video, but we’re committed to making the visual for JWalk’s “White Wine” something truly extraordinary, and would deeply appreciate any help you might be able to give us.
Your donation will directly help lift this project from dream to reality. The originating artists (Musician, Producer, and Directors) will be taking no salary, so your contributions will go directly to paying our incredible crew for their valuable time, securing a dynamic location with state of the art production capabilities, and giving our post team the support they need to design resources and cut the project, and of course, keeping everyone well fed and caffeinated.
Any additional funding will be channeled into marketing for the music video, submissions into Music Video festivals and additional time and resources to make this project the best it can be.
We’ve worked to make sure our backing tiers offer exciting and exclusive perks. We want every aspect of this project to feel personal and impactful, so we hope that the offerings available excite you!
This film is a love letter to loss. The bittersweet bite of longing put to light, sound, and movement.
Our concept, written by Wilde and developed and produced by Bliss Films, follows the story of a man struggling to leave the past behind. We see him undertake a spiritual journey that will resonate with all those who wander back through memories, and expand on them with each successive visitation.
Storytelling is a craft that we honor above all else. Hoping that as our hero ventures into the world of heightened hypnagogia, his story remains grounded and relatable to all who journey with him.
This project will be co-directed by Theo Dudley of Wilde Writing, and Kat Ferentchak of Bliss Films.
Wilde Bliss, if you like.
(Kat & Theo, also a potential)
Two artists and storytellers whose ideas and inspirations flow forward and back in an ever-intensifying feedback loop of creative vision.
Their first joint project, Wilde brings to the table 6 years of experience in the world of Music Video creative development. Having co-written music films for some of the industry's top artists, including Doja Cat, and H.E.R., Wilde places the symbolic, spiritual, and psychological importance of story above all creative goals.
Kat Ferentchak is the creative mastermind behind Bliss Films and a veteran writer and director from the world of television and film. She brings not only a highly refined analytical lens to the project but a decade of hands-on filmmaking experience and masterful knowledge of story and character. The creative lead of Bliss Films– Kat lives by their mantra to make movies that empower unlikely protagonists, entice an audience to re-evaluate their preconceptions, and tell one heck of an entertaining story.
Joshua Walker, AKA JWalk, is our featured artist. A creative polymath, Joshua is a musician, artist, and writer. A born storyteller if ever there was one. Due to Covid, Joshua had to push his creative ambitions to the backburner, but now we’re ready to rocket them forward into the light.
Autumn Harmony Robinson, is a highly sought-after dancer and choreographer whose work can be seen at EDC, and LA’s hottest clubs.
Joanna Monfreda is a Los Angeles-based short film Producer and Assistant Production Coordinator working in scripted television. Joanna is passionate about logistics and strives to cultivate comfortable and creative environments for filmmakers to manifest the true vision of their story. As Kat’s long-time creative collaborator and Bliss Films co-founder, she is excited to be part of this ambitious and thought-provoking project.
Kevin Fermini is a Chicago-based editor, director, and animator whose technical know-how is second only to his creative ability. Kevin met Wilde while studying together at Ithaca College. He then went on to work with Kat on various commercial productions. White Wine marks their first joint creative endeavor TOGETHER. So needless to say we're ready to blow the roof off.
Andy Chen is a DP, director, writer, and entrepreneur. Andy attracted the attention of JWalk and Wilde at a short film screening. Both agreed that Andy's work was by far and away the best on show, so after a few coffees and a tour of CinePack Studios, we sealed the deal!
As we’ve been incubating this project, we are drawn to a natural and evergrowing sense of excitement and enthusiasm. We believe we can accomplish something incredible with this project. So many dynamic visuals, that thanks to a newly available piece of advanced filmmaking technology, will be available to us and offer boundless creative potential. We want to show you all what we’ve learned, and excite you with a story that we feel only we can tell.
Thank you for believing in our dream. For trusting us with your support. We will honor it and put it to great use.
Please see below a graph of how we will allocate production costs. Our team has personally pulled favors and worked late nights and weekends to make sure that the vision we have for this project, while ambitious is achievable, and all those involved can be properly compensated for their time and experience. We've included a breakdown of costs below, for those curious to see how their contributions will be allocated.
Thank you.
