Muff's Modules & More

I personally would love to see an interview with Grant in this film...
I understand the constraints with having to keep the hours down etc.
But if it comes down to not being able to fly you and your crew out to interview him because of financial reasons would be a shame . Maybe the wigglers could do some kind of fundraiser to cover the cost to get you guys out there.
I think an interview with Grant would be awesome for the film.

Just my 2 cents

Excellent job with shedding light on the modular synth community with this film. I can't wait to see it.

our story is large. expecting any one film-maker to explore it all is completely unreasonable.

Thanks for the camera time, Jason. If you can get him to meet you, Grant Richter would be an obvious interviewee. But since you obviously have far too much footage already, it's your choice.

That modular synth "renaissance" is the story. That should be the primary item, not interviews with people. They will help to illuminate the story.

All of you, wanna help? Donate to the project.

I'd pay good money to see a Rex Probe interview.
OK, I can totally understand Solvent's point.

All I can say is, Probe was one of a tiny number that kept modular synthesis going, and available outside of the used/vintage market.
I don't think many had any idea modular would once again explode, but he kept STS going when everyone else was buying D50's and Akai S900's.

That is a GREAT idea solvent! I'd happily donate to that trip if it goes ahead!

Did I hear a whisper of Europe? applause

That makes me so happy! I hope you have a good time over here mate!

I cant remember how much i originally donated...i think it was $125, but i'd toss in another $25 to get Grant in there.

I haven't received any PMs about this, so it doesn't appear that anyone is willing to rally the troops in order to make these interviews happen.

I have a $25 pledge from vav, and an expressed willingness to contribute some $ from HueMonContact, chrisso, jbartee, splitpoint.

If you 4 guys, and/or anyone else, wishes to contribute $ towards making this happen, send me a PM to let me know how much $ you would be willing to commit to. Keep in mind that it's not just a donation - you get stuff based on the amount of $ you contribute:

If it is just you 5 guys who are actually willing to contribute $ towards this, I think it is probably unlikely that we are going to hit $1200. Then again, chrisso you said you would be willing to pay "good money" towards this, so maybe I'm wrong. Note: if your sole motivation for contributing is to help make the Richter/Probe interviews happen, I would suggest that you hold off contributing directly to IndieGoGo until we have determined that there are enough of you for this to work.

Hey, Im up for $25 too - happy to PM you Solvent or anyone else that would organize this!!!

Cool thanks... so that's $50... if anyone else wants to contribute towards this, please PM me with the $amount.

@Solvent I sent you a PM you can put me down for $25 for the interview
I'll donate more to the indiegogo fundraiser also.

I'm trying to follow the whole process of movie making withing this subforum, but just a quick question: whether you had the interview with Mr. Buchla?
