DONATE TO NEW LAVA FILM: Not just a movie about molten lava - This will be an EXPERIENCE!
I am very excited about this dramatic new Kilauea Volcano feature film -- it has finally taken form and I have a pretty tight draft-- this movie is really powerful, fast paced and emotionally moving!!
~
I am really stoked to get started with next steps necessary to get this movie out of my hard drives and professionally finished ; I need to purchase a license for the music tracks I have used and to secure a pro video editor. What is needed now is sponsorship and producers to complete this and other costs related to post-production of digital to screen transfers, and DVD printing
~
I truly would appreciate any help possible; I offer you to become an integral part of this production!

Below is a quick overview of the movie project:
Where I am on the film to date:
~
The storyline is finalized and feeling great.
I currently am doing final edits to the raw draft and now need to need to collaborate with a pro editor to start on the final movie tracks, using my template draft as a guide.
~
I have had friends drop by to screen the opening 12-minute scene and they were all "moved" by it; one was even in tears. No one but me has yet seen the entire movie draft, which just gets stronger as the scenes unfold.
As testament to the films quality and appeal, all major national news stations (CBS, ABC, Fox, CNN, and NBC) have used compilations of my lava footage. CNN and NBC's top news directors have phoned me to say it is at the top of their list of best quality and dynamic lava footage that they have ever handled. This is also the view of our local Hawaiian news stations.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is difficult for me to ask for help, I always try to accomplish things on my own. I know I am creating a very cool and uniquely special lava movie -- a moving and powerful experience that deserves the very best treatment to retain quality and a broad audience. To accomplish that, I need sponsors to help with the next stage of production costs, or this project will stop at this draft stage for a long time.
I would love to have you be apart this! You can see a tiny example of sample footage, some of which will be in the movie: here, but with the 58 other minutes and soundtrack the whole story is magic!
I would be greatly honored for you to become a FINANCIAL DONOR to this movie project. All funds are directly earmarked for production of just this movie.

I love sharing what is happening here on the Big Island, especially the on-going lava flow and changes in the weather and surf conditions. I offer daily reports (less often during non-event times) of these and other Big Island events on this blog ...
From my home I have a 360-degree perspective of land, sea & sky - Mauna Loa & Mauna Kea volcanoes and the ocean entry lava plume when it is active. I surf and also drive past a local surfing shoreline on the way out to the active lava flowing zone nearly every day; providing me with first-hand accounts of all these things I share with you here.
