CLYDE BUTCHER - biographical documentary

[cougstar]

Forgive me if this has already been posted somewhere on APUG.

Emmy award-winning film-maker Elam Stoltzfus is raising funds to do a biographical documentary on photographer Clyde Butcher through a Kickstarter campaign.

If we can help them reach their goal I think it would be a wonderful addition to other films out there documenting masters of photography.

I think it is a great project on a great wildlife and landscape photographer.
I put my chips in but it doesn't look like they will meet their budget unless a lot more join in

It isn't clear to me if this "film" is going to be made on film?

Good luck anyway. $179K is still a lot of money.

Maybe the older footage which has already been shot but NO, not anything shot in the future.

I'm in on it!

Perhaps 30 years ago while vacationing in Fernandina Beach Florida I wandered into a small gallery and was transfixed by a roughly 2 x 3 foot silver print of this:

As best I remember the price was two or three hundred dollars.... But with a small daughter about six years old at the time, a mortgage.... And I walked away. I still regret not buying it, as I regret not scrimping to buy a print of Adams' "Moonrise" when I was a poverty stricken college student.

Even now silver prints by Butcher or Adams are still out of my price range .... perhaps.

No one shoots 16mm anymore. Watch some of the more recent footage.
