On May 15th, the fundraising campaign for the feature documentary, Vince Giordano – There’s a Future in the Past, must end. The filmmakers, Dave Davidson and Amber Edwards of Hudson West Productions, have been shooting with Vince and his extraordinary band The Nighthawks since 2012. The film is 90% shot, but they need to raise $168,000 to cover the costs of editing, post-production, and music licensing, in order to get the film completed in 2014.
Generations of musicians and music lovers regard Vince as the reigning expert on hot jazz and popular songs from the 1920s and ’30s. With help from Vince’s admirers around the world, his extraordinary story?and the joyful, rhythmic, tuneful music he re-creates can be shared with an international audience.
If you love hot jazz and all that Vince and his talented musicians have done to keep this music alive for the past 40 years, please consider making a tax-deductible contribution before time runs out.
And, please share this campaign with friends, family, and fellow music lovers. More than 300 people have contributed over $60,000 so far. But we know there are a lot more than just 300 people in the world who are passionate about hot jazz, and who support Vince’s mission. Show your love and get some cool thank-you perks in the process!
You can make it happen!
