Aside from committing the last six years of my life to this project, I’ve devoted a great deal of my own financial resources to getting the project to this point, including buying a professional video camera (Canon C300), lenses, audio equipment, lighting, tripod, 16 terabytes external hard drive, and so on – not to mention all the travel expenses and other miscellaneous items I paid for. In other words, in order to realize this documentary, I’ve made a great deal of sacrifice. This film was my life and still is my life.

 

While I still continue working with a music composer to fine-tune the scenes, the film is nearly complete.

 

However, I have realized completing the film is only the first step in this industry. In order for people to even know my film exists, I have to venture into the world of marketing, especially social media. By using YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook, I will promote the film so that it will receive the respect it deserves. In the end, the film will be taken seriously and be distributed around the world. I believe this documentary, which shows the modern day life of the people who carry on a 1400-year-old legacy, will be able to accomplish this goal.

 

So this is where I could use your support.
