I’ve never had a request like this before, though I’ve heard of the process. I will honor this one and see how it goes.
There is a new documentary in process, The Joneses. It hasn’t been released yet; it isn’t even finished. They are still seeking funding, and if you like you can help them through KickStarter. If you like what you read about the film on KickStarter, you can contribute funds to the production of the film. You could even be listed as Associate Producer!
The documentary is about a 70 year old transgender matriarch and her two adult sons, living in a bible belt trailer park in Mississippi. The film revolves around this unique family’s optimistic search for true love outside their now close knit family unit in the Old South.
More information on the film can be found on the project page at KickStarter.
Please note that I have not seen this film. I have no financial interest in it (though I might contribute), and I haven’t received any financial incentive to mention this film on my blog.
This sounds like a worthwhile project, and I hope it succeeds. Whether or not I like it or recommend it depends on how sensitively it treats the characters when it is finally finished.
If you have any opinions about this blog supporting the KickStarter process, please leave a comment. I may or may not ever do this again.
