Captain Banana
06-27-2011, 01:53 AM
Hello!
I'm long overdue for a bananas.org update about my banana documentary. Previously titled "Captain Banana", the film is now called MONDO BANANA. Since I last posted on here, we have filmed in China, Finland, Malaysia, Thailand, and India - covering everything from religious uses of bananas in India, to banana folktales and ghosts in Malaysia, to wild banana species in China.
Production on the film will wrap in October, after another shoot in China and a trip to follow Markku Häkkinen to the forests of Sumatra to look for new species of wild Musa...
We've just begun a campaign on the "crowd-funding" site Kickstarter. And, there's a new 2.5 min teaser video on the project page, which will give you an idea of what the film's going to look like.
Here's the link: MONDO BANANA by Ryan White — Kickstarter (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1481637384/mondo-banana)
Kickstarter functions entirely on a grassroots, word-of-mouth basis - and it's an all or nothing situation. That means that if we don't make our goal by the deadline of August 10, we don't get anything. Even if finances are tight, you can help out ENORMOUSLY by simply spreading the word!! If you want to see this film completed, please post the Kickstarter link on your Facebook, Twitter, and/or blogs. Or just let your family, friends, colleagues & co-workers, classmates, students, or anyone else who may be interested know about the Kickstarter campaign (even if it's just to watch the new video). And, encourage them to spread the word too. Thanks for your help!!
There's also a website/blog for the documentary, where you can stay up to date on the film's progress, see photos from our shoots, watch more video, etc. The link for that is: MONDO BANANA | Take a journey on the banana boat… (http://bananamovie.wordpress.com/)
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Thank you for your time!
All the best,
Ryan
