Follow on Google News | YEAR 33 Documentary Crowdfunding Project LaunchedSmart Crowdfunding is slated to carry out strategic marketing initiatives for a documentary entitled, “Year 33: Darkness Ends, Art Revived”.
By: Sueno Documentary Films A feature length documentary, YEAR 33 highlights Cambodia’s art revival by showing the day to day lives of three Khmer artists. The film shows the inspiring lives of a young dancer named Narim, a painter and sculptor named Viet, and a fiber artist named Vanny. Bringing to the fore the rich heritage the three young artists share, the film will bring attention to the varied artistic culture of Cambodia. An artistic culture that now breathes life into the country’s young people filled with a very intentional resilience. Daily portrayed in every Cambodian venue from large theaters to small back alleys the art revival imbued with Khmer culture is alive with potential. With it the documentary proves the power of the human spirit. Kathryn Lejeune, Producer and Director of YEAR 33, said of the film, “With great dignity we peek into the lives of each of the three characters and grab intimate glimpses of their realities. They live in one of the poorest countries in the world. Regardless, it’s their hard work that exemplifies the dedication needed to force the hand of change and surmount obstacles. To that end, our film is finished. Now, we need the help of supporters to bring it to post production and ultimately empower the Cambodian art community.” Crowdfunding support will go specifically toward an editor, sound and colorization of the project as it makes its way through post production. The funds raised will also allow the producers to show the documentary at film festivals for a broader reach toward their goals. Crowdfunding perks include a movie poster designed exclusively for supporters, a reusable tote reflective of the film’s story line and a Sueño bracelet. The bracelets are seen throughout the documentary worn by the crew and characters.
