Q: What's the status of the movie, and who will
you capture?
A: We're in production right now – we've already shot 20% of the documentary where we live in Sydney Australia, and now it's time to shoot the international stories we plan to capture in North America, Europe and Asia.
We'll be profiling the artists who are embracing analog film globally. We'll also be discovering the major labs, the galleries, the movers and shakers who are bringing film back to the fore.
We also want to explore film's relationship to our increasingly digital society, and ask, in the pursuit of progress, what have we lost along the way?
Q: When will the documentary
be completed?
A: The completion and release depends on a number of factors: how much funding is raised to finish production; which film festivals accept us; and which distributors, broadcasters and streamers acquire it.
If we raise the full budget, REVIVAL would be complete in late '22 / early '23, with a festival berth soon thereafter before the streaming release. If we raise only a small budget, it could take longer. We'll provide updates at each stage of the project.
Q: Where will I be able
to watch it?
A: While the intricacies of global movie distribution are complex, in an ideal world we would have a global same-day release – however the reality will be less elegant than that. The most likely scenario is a premiere at a film festival, followed by a short wait for the general release – it could be on TV, it could be on VOD, and it may be different country-by-country. Rest assured, we'll provide updates on where and when it's available.
