Hey Will,
Thank you for your feedback.
I am not sure I understand what you mean, but I think what you are suggesting is very similar to what I was doing with Nouns News.
You can still check it out.
Weekly Zoom interviews with builders.
Cheap, fast and easy. Focused on Youtube.
But this is different.
This is an ambitious project to make a proper documentary that can be sent to film festivals and even streaming services.
The goal is to ultimately win an award.
It is very hard to accomplish, but the only way is to try.
Department of Post is the only facility in NZ that has Netflix certification.
They are able to export a final file that is accepted by film theatres and the major streaming platforms.
Another important aspect is the VFX artist, Foothead.
One of my favourite NZ artists.
I would love to onboard him into Nouns.
He will have 6 weeks to create the "magical" layer on top of the story.
Combine that with a killer soundtrack, and we have a very good mix for a winning format.
The content is up to Ben, the DOP, myself and the Universe.
And yes, this is not the cheapest production.
But in terms of documentary budget and crew, we are actually not a big and expensive production either.
We are a small team, with a big dream.
So I would argue that this is not 50k for one interview but rather 50k for a work of art.
Best case scenario as Rick Rubin puts it, will divide the audience.
Worst case, no one will like it.
That is why I am asking for this opportunity.
Only Nouns can make this happen.
It will be my life's most important work to date.
A love letter to Nouns.
Cheers,
Leo
