After many years of working on The Winding Stream, we believe we are in the home stretch. Those of you who’ve supported the project up until now, know the saga. A film we thought should have been easy to fund and complete has taken way longer than seems logical. And yet, it’s reflected the reality of a changing film and technological upheaval that’s kept many filmmakers from completing work. Still, we’ve persevered. We are close but we need to make one last big fundraising push.
Can you help us?
We’re launching one last Kickstarter campaign. The stated goal is $50,000 though we hope to do better than that. It would be unusual but not impossible.
If you’d like to see The Winding Stream completed, now’s the time to give. And now’s the time to tell your friends.
Please click here.
Watch our new, and if we do say so ourselves, pretty exciting trailer. Examine the great rewards. And pledge.
It’s all or nothing. We have to meet our stated goal or we get nothing.
It’s ambitious. But we think there are legions of people who care about The Carters, the Cashes and the Course of Country Music.
Thanks for your support!

Though we are not exactly where we’d like to be in our process (which is to say, done), it was gratifying to show the film excerpts to an enthusiastic [...]

One of the fun things we’ve been doing since we started interviewing musicians for The Winding Stream film project is to ask folks to sing a line or two from the Carter Family classic, “Will The Circle Be Unbroken”. It’s yielded some great reactions and some beautiful and individualized renditions of the song. Enjoy.
