Chris Burkard, the young, heavily self-promoting, excellent landscape/adventure/surf photographer is setting up a tour for his new film, emphasizing major urban areas, but I think Florida's big enough to be major. Hey, our state has almost as many peeps as Australia. His website is down at the moment, Facebook is up and easy to find. I'm suspecting Orlando would be fairly obvious. I suspect he'd want a fairly big venue, probably bigger than Cocoa Beach's Surfside (which was fine for Clark Little). The guy's output has been good enough that I think a museum could get interested. Even the art variety. I've been amazed at Burkard's willingness and ability to organize highly staged photos. One was of a slackliner between two very high rocks with a very big full moon behind, everything in perfect focus. The logistics and getting everything in place at precisely the right moment must have been quite a story. |

The Kickstarter is coming along, and Florida's blocked in as a possible location for the tour. The project showed up at the top of Kickstarter's 500 or so video projects. Edited: 03/01/2017 at 08:08 PM by ww |

They just reached their Kickstarter goal of $150,000 for the tour. I must say, quite an impressive achievement in just six (6) days. Like I said prior, the vibe is that this may be a really special flick. I think the Kickstarter participation is telling. Can't wait!!

For comparison, 2014's Dirty Old Wedge, a good bodysurfing documentary, raised just short of $25,000 on Kickstarter. Burkard has fans. |

Premier will be at the Tribeca Film Festival, New York, April 23. It's on the short film lineup. The festival is popular (3 million people every year?), founded by Robert De Niro and others in 2002. (Wikipedia) |

Wanna snag Burkard? He's looking for venues in the East. Based on the western list, I'd figure some stops in New England, Long Island, NJ, maybe Outer Banks or around Wilmington. In Florida would think Brevard, maybe Palm Beach Co., maybe Orlando/Winter Park, maybe Jax. Some of the West Coast venues aren't anything elaborate. The Aladdin in Portland, Oregon is fairly dumpy, was at a bus stop on one route to work, has some of the same acts as the King Center or Ft Pierce's Sunrise. When I lived there, a kid from Milwaukie was shot to death at the gas station across the street. So much for things that happen in a basically safe city (which was having a heroin epidemic at the time).
