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! Click here to Donate.
With most of the filming done, we are on track for post-production in winter of 2019 for submission to 2020 film festivals, the standard route to secure distribution with PBS, HBO, Netflix, or other outlets.
In November 2018, Jason Berry published 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.
Keep up with us on Facebook and Instagram. This story is too important not to be told. These accounts illuminate the force of memory behind our rituals. Outreach screenings with discussion are coming to colleges, schools, and community centers, and Jason Berry is going on tour when the City of a Million Dreams: A History of New Orleans at Year 300 hits bookstores November 10. There will also be a few sneak peak screening events as we finish the final phase of editing the film this winter. Donate now to help us past this finish line, or contact us for more information.
