When we first started working on this film we had no idea how long it would take to bring it to fruition. We kept uncovering pieces of Luke's story and the history of the Burragorang and the birth of national parks. It got bigger and bigger. Then we started investigating Luke's connection to Charles Chauvel. We became immersed. Unfortunately that's made it hard to edit ourselves now that we've been so close to all the footage. Editors are fresh eyes, they see only what's on the screen and are not thinking "I walked for 3 hours to get this shot, it's gotta stay in the movie". So we want to work with a master editor to pull the story all together.
Last year thanks to our first crowd funding effort we worked with editor Brad Haywood for a week. It was very enlightening. He helped us a lot. He made a lot of suggestions, one of which was this needs an old school master editor. But these guys aren't cheap but then nothing is with filmmaking . Our first crowd founder was mostly supported by friends and family, this one is for everyone in the world who thinks it looks like an exciting and worthwhile film.
We hope you do!
