Help a new doco on Tangerine Dream get made

0

German film production company TAG/TRAUM are making a feature film doco about Tangerine Dream. They need your money to make it happen. The wife of band founder Edgar Froese – Bianca Froese-Acquaye – will act as a co-producer of the film. The German director and artist Margarete Kreuzer is the creative mind behind the camera. She has nearly 30 years of experience and is deeply familiar with the world and history of Tangerine Dream.

This from the kickstarter page:

“In 2014 we started the production of the first documentary about Tangerine Dream. But in 2015, Edgar Froese, founder and constant member of Tangerine Dream passed away unexpectedly. That was a really sad stroke of fate. Very soon the need became clear to turn from a short documentary to a full-length documentary in order to cover Tangerine Dream’s AND Edgar’s lifework. Though we have shot several interviews and gathered a lot of archive material, we didn’t have enough footage for a full-length documentary. By the help of the crowd – this is YOU – we like to shoot much more interviews, to get more archive material and to get hold of several licences for the early Tangerine Dream tracks owned by the former labels like Virgin and Sony. The funding through Kickstarter will be about 20 % to 25% of the budget of the feature length version and is absolutely basic.”
