Momentum!

Momentum!  I’m feeling it, thanks to two friends who stepped up this week with personal donations of $500 and $100!  It is deeply gratifying to get this kind of support.  It means we can keep moving forward with the many negotiations involved in producing a TV documentary.  The next big production step is to sign the videographers and then capture the sit-down interviews with the doctors/heroes I am profiling.

You’ll notice that those two donations were off-line. You can also make donations at the film’s fundraising website.   Hey, in your travels today, tell somebody about indiegogo.com. It’s a great platform for supporting creativity and projects that make a difference!

Thanks to all for your support, your prayers, and your good thoughts.  Film-making is a walk of faith!

Crowd funding for documentary “A Doctor’s Dream”

Thanks to the crowd-funding website indiegogo.com, the documentary film project “A Doctor’s Dream” can now receive your financial support!  We have set up a 64-day campaign with an ambitious goal of $37,500.00! Just the sound of that amazes me!  On the other hand, I have a budget in hand that grounds me in the reality of what it takes to produce a one-hour documentary that is up to PBS standards.

Our shooting schedule is just as aggressive, with most of the primary photography scheduled for the first quarter of 2012.

Indiegogo.com has a fantastic format that allows us to engage with thousands of independent producers, fans, friends and activists.  And we can receive donations there from $25 up to $5,000 with some pretty cool perqs (“perks”).  (If you have a “bigger idea” in mind, please contact me at steve (at) aDoctorsDream (dot) com.)

I hope you will consider joining us in this project.  This stories we capture in this film will energize a new generation of students and entrepreneurs.  Our cities desperately need both!

Here’s the demo trailer for “A Doctor’s Dream”

Here’s the demo/trailer for “A Doctor’s Dream.  It includes some “placeholder” images and sample music, as well as original video footage, audio tracks and narration.

We will post additional video clips from the production as it comes together throughout 2012.  Enjoy!
