Kenny Smith Documentary

Post by theFASTfiles »

Hi

We're making a doco on Ken, following him during his 60th year in motor racing. We need help to get it off the ground so we've started a Kickstarter: http://kck.st/2pVsjot

Also if anyone has any super8, video or other footage from his career let us know.

Well done Adam and best of luck with the project. Sorry, can't help with any movie footage. Will be in touch regarding a contribution.

I have posted a message on the TradeMe motoring message board which has produced a couple of speedy responses.

Does NZ on Air still exist? Isn't this something they would, and should, be interested in funding?

Yes, and the NZ Film Commission. The lead time is long and we need to move now so we need the seed funding so we can start shooting. Also they're not usually that excited about motor racing and sport documentaries aren't often funded. For instance the McCaw film was funded by Adidas. We'll be following up come corporate sponsorship also.

Looks as though TradeMe took the thread down... At least two people managed to make contributions before they did!
