Our Goal
Films are expensive, and we need your support. Our recent Kickstarter campaign was successful and has wrapped up, but please donate now through our non-profit fiscal sponsor, Video Veracity, using Paypal (a Paypal account is not necessary). Or, send a check made to: Video Veracity, 3020 Royal Street, New Orleans, LA 70117. It's tax-deductible!
With most of the filming done, we are on track for post-production in fall of 2018 for submission to 2019 film festivals, the standard route to secure distribution with PBS, HBO, Netflix, or other outlets.
This story is too important not to be told. These accounts illuminated the force of memory behind our rituals. Outreach screenings with discussion are slated for colleges, schools, and community centers. In November 2018, Jason Berry will publish City of a Million Dreams: A History of New Orleans at Year 300 (University of North Carolina Press). This sweeping narrative about the city follows a culture of spectacle rooted in burial traditions. Historical episodes touched on in the film are explored in detail; the book is a landmark history of New Orleans across three centuries. The film and book will be teaching tools on New Orleans history for years to come.
