[Harp-L] harp film makers

[BradKava@xxxxxxx]

I also spent time with the film makers at SPAH and am impressed with their 
integrity and vision.

Hey, documentaries don't make money, with rare, rare exception. I just 
reviewed one touring now, called "Indies Under FIre," about independent book 
sellers, for which the music, art and much else was donated. It's a great and 
important movie...but the filmmakers won't make a dime for their 10 years of work.

There's nothing wrong with asking for a donated song for a movie about an 
under-covered topic. And nothing wrong with throwing in some commercial names, 
along with the absolutely noncommercial types at SPAH.

I can only think of two recent documentaries that made any money. The 
penguins didn't get a cut; and the guy who ate all the McDonalds food paid with the 
years he'll lose off his life.

Any success these guys have with this film will spread to all of us harp 
players and we should help them out. It's not all about the Benjamins.

good luck guys
