RACC Awards Funds to Open Road

I had been waiting for the RACC notification to arrive, and the letter landed in my mailbox today. The Regional Arts and Culture Council has awarded funding to Open Road. I'll resume work on this project as soon as January, with the remaining production coinciding with post. It's good timing, as I was hoping to finish the film by summer or fall, and these funds will allow me to move forward on such a time line. Unlike Empty Quarter, all of the remaining production work for Open Road occurs in town, which removes a layer of production logistics. I'll need to wait for warmer weather for some shots, however I now have an opportunity to record this winter. I will be launching a Kickstarter campaign to raise additional funds for 16mm printing as well as other distribution costs not covered by the grant.
