Help Support Street Documentary Film and Photography

Last edited Sun Jun 28, 2015, 10:28 AM - Edit history (1)



Dear friends,

We are in the early stages of planning for our next documentary, a FULL LENGTH feature about the challenges of working and surviving economically in America.

But in order to do so, we need your help. We are seeking $2,500 to help fund the purchase of a new digital HD video camera and three external hard drives to back up our video.

This will allow us to do all day shoots. With our current equipment, we can only shoot for approximately an hour at a time.

If you can, please help us today by donating at:

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/to-help-buy-new-equipment-for-a-documentary-film/x/11164390#/story

If you can't afford to contribute, a great way to contribute is to share the above link with your friends, social media lists, etc...

Thank you very much,
Steve Bennish
David Sparks
