Kickstarter Campaigns to Watch Now!

The United States of America is the story of a domestic violence survivor’s groundbreaking quest to strengthen the legal rights of millions of women and children in the U.S. In 1999, Jessica Gonzales’ three daughters were killed when police refused to enforce a restraining order against her estranged husband, who had abducted them earlier that night.

GIRL MODEL
Girl Model, which we loved hosting in our space during the Northside Film Festival, is cropping up in theaters all over the country but could use some help promoting its cause. The documentary shows the perils in the modeling industry for youth. Order Girl Model follows two protagonists involved in this industry: Ashley, a deeply ambivalent model scout who scours the Siberian countryside looking for fresh faces to send to the Japanese market, and one of her discoveries, Nadya, a 13-year-old plucked from her rustic home in Russia and dropped into the center of bustling Tokyo with promises of a profitable career. Girl Model is a lyrical exploration of a world defined by glass surfaces and camera lenses, reflecting back differing versions of reality to the young women caught in their scope.

Our friend M. Henry Jones who we screened with @ Anthology, has a new project in the works. SnakeMonkey Studio’s is working to complete a series of large format three-dimensional portraits and animations using our newly developed Fly’s Eye 3-D technique.

TOXIC PROFITS

Former UnionDocs Intern, Nick Capezzera, has a new project in the works that is taking a closer look at where US rejected pesticides go after they have been banned from use. Imagine discovering a product that you’ve been using is causing serious damage to your health and the environment.  But instead of safely disposing of that toxic product, you decide to go next door and sell it to your neighbor.  Hard to imagine, right?  This scenario isn’t entirely unimaginable.  In the United States, once a pesticide is pulled off the market because it is shown have dangerous effects on peoples’ health and the environment, we allow corporations to continue manufacturing and exporting that pesticide to other countries–even just a few feet across our borders.
