Film by America
Political documentary calls on the masses for funding.
Chicago, IL, April 19, 2008 --(PR.com)-- A new documentary is looking to the public not only for content but also for financial support. Red, White & Blue: A Tale of Two Americas, which dissects how and why people choose political parties and candidates, is trying to secure funding solely through individual contributions.
“Everything about Red, White & Blue comes straight out of the heart and soul of America,” comments Eric Anderson, producer and co-director. “We want every citizen to be able to play a role in this film, so it doesn’t make sense for us to rely on corporate funding.”
To achieve its goals, Red, White & Blue is working with IndieMaverick, a website dedicated to using the masses to make movies. Relying on a concept known as “crowdfunding,” IndieMaverick collects small amounts of money from a large number of people. This collective approach gives everyone a chance to participate in the filmmaking process.
And participate is just what Eric Anderson and his wife, co-director Amelia Dellos, are hoping people will do. Their documentary looks deep into the American mindset to determine the “why” behind people’s political decisions. Red, White & Blue questions what makes Americans act, believe and vote as they do. It tries to understand where people’s convictions come from and get them to think about and examine their beliefs.
“Now more than ever, I think it’s essential that we look at what makes people choose certain candidates over others,” states Anderson. “This current election has brought out unprecedented levels of passion and animosity. As a people, we owe it to ourselves to examine our choices and opinions and ensure that we’re getting the most out of our system of government.”
