U. City Musicians Performing in Black & White and Gold 2011

It's the end of 2011 and it's been not much over 9 months since I shot the first interview with cellist Mary Riles in Seattle, Washington for the project.  And looking back on 2011 and all of the people that I've met and met up with, I think it's safe to say this baby has gone to full term and is ready to be nurtured out of the womb (financially) so that it can grow to it's full potential in life.  (Just what any proud parent would want for their child.)

Here are the stats for the project as of December 29, 2011:

154 Potential Interview Subjects Identified
60 Different Individuals Captured On Camera
30 Full On-camera Interviews
26 Cities Visited
13 States Visited
9 Countries Heard From

~6 Terabytes Of Video Shot

And, again, like any proud new parent, I'd like to share with you some pictures of the baby in the form of a slideshow (really...this will be enjoyable and not painful at all):

I hope that you've been enjoying what I've been posting and talking about here on the project site and that you're as excited about the potential for this subject as I am.  If you are, I hope that you would consider any level of financial support that you or your organization could muster.  Frankly, all travel and expenses that I have put into this project so far have stopped.  There's zero possiblity for me to add any further money to the project, so I'm seeking other funding sources.

If you'd like to help, it would be greatly appreciated.  You can click right here to check out our supporters and support page.

Thanks in advance and I wish everyone (and this documentary baby) a great 2012!!
