Here is an interesting project. James Smith, a film director and writer based in London (UK) is making a documentary film called SIX STRINGS about, well you guessed it, guitar music.

I am searching for six guitarists from around the world who have incredible stories to tell. They will form part of the documentary and may have the opportunity to contribute to the music within the film. I am looking to find passionate people who maybe have developed a unique playing style or have an incredible story to tell about guitar music – how it transformed or changed their lives and more about the mystique and influence of the instrument – the more extraordinary, heart rending or radical, the better!

Guitarists can submit their story (in 100 words) and include a link to their website for an opportunity to appear in the film. The film is being funded by a crowdfunding business model and there are many ways for people to get involved and help out on this site.

Yes this film is being funded by crowdsourcing the money either by donations, sponsorship or Investors which includes VIP access and executive producer status.
By donating £50-100 you can get a Credit on the web site, £100-500 you also get a Credit on the film and DVD and £500+ gets you all of the above plus 2 tickets to the premiere!

The best thing about this film is that it is open to anyone, it is not a contest to see who is the most technical player it is who has the most interesting story to tell, and you only need to submit 100 words so head over to the “Enter Your Pitch” page.
