Patrick Olwell documentary
Patrick Olwell documentary
ANNOUNCEMENT! I'm starting a feature documentary on legendary flute maker Patrick Olwell, and though I'm donating my time and equipment for the next six months, I have to find a way to pay for travel to interview musicians like Matt Molloy and Seamus Egan. So I've put up a Kickstarter campaign, and starting today I'll have 30 days to meet my goal or else I don't get anything. So if you can share this link, or pass it on to folks who might be interested in the story, it would be a great help and possibly Kickstart my way to being a film-maker full time.
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/155 ... ick-olwell
For those who don't know me, I've been a professional musician for almost 25 years ( www.jemmoore.com ) and have recorded 15 albums, one of which (April Fool's Waltz) actually has Patrick playing on it. I left the folk scene in 2001 to pursue a career in aviation, and I am currently a Captain at Republic Airlines on the Embraer 190 jet. I started making films about three years ago ( www.descantproductions.com ) , and last year had a film I did for the Heartland Chamber Music Festival voted "Best Documentary" at the Music Educators of America conference.
I'm very excited to be working with Patrick on this project, preserving his story, and hearing the stories of the musicians he has inspired with his flutes. It's going to be a great project, I just need to get the word out and see if I can make it happen. I'll be joined in this effort by Blayne Chastain, founder of whistleanddrum.com and BlayneChastain.com where he offers flute and whistle lessons online. He is also involved in video production, and will bring an impressive set of skills and knowledge to the project.
Check out the Kickstarter page for a video explaining what's going on, and some more info about how we're going to do it. Thanks, and if you have any questions, please drop me an email anytime.... jemmoore@hotmail.com
Spread the word!

Re: Patrick Olwell documentary
To Jem, Please don't take too much of Patrick's time, some of us are still on the waiting list. Thank you, and good luck!

I hear that, I'm still waiting for a keyed-body replacement for the one I ran over with my car (don't ask!). We'll try to keep the filming disruption to a minimum during the day, but I'm not responsible for the hang-overs

Re: Patrick Olwell documentary
Just tell Patrick to precede every one of your questions with "You know, this is taking time away from completing [insert name of someone on waiting list here]'s flute. So this better be a really good question." Then you can count on that person to buy several copies of the DVD because their name is mentioned. The more questions you ask, the more DVDs you sell!
