KINGKENNEDY is a unique feature film that tells the story of John F Kennedy, Robert F Kennedy and Martin Luther King. It has been made entirely from archive material with no narration or talking heads. The film speaks for itself. Watching KINGKENNEDY is a powerful and moving experience. Its message of freedom, dignity, equality and hope is as important today as it was in the sixties. KINGKENNEDY should be seen by a wide audience.
What’s next?
It has taken many years and considerable funds to research and edit the footage and the movie is now nearing completion. What do we plan to do next?
Phase 1: Release the rough cut of KINGKENNEDY on the Internet.
For this we need to raise the money required to license usage of the footage for Internet streaming.
Phase 2: Full cinema and DVD release of KINGKENNEDY.
The archive footage used is over 40 years old and much of it is in a rough state. We will use the funds raised by the Internet release to restore and enhance both the picture and sound quality as well as paying for the full rights for cinema usage. Further funds will be used to market the movie.
We need your help
The film industry likes to define movies by genre. Unfortunately KINGKENNEDY won’t fit into this model because it’s not a traditional feature movie. It isn’t a conventional documentary either, as it doesn’t include narration or talking heads – the footage tells the story. This is why the industry struggles to finance KINGKENNEDY. Here’s how you can help:
1. Become a ‘Friend of KINGKENNEDY’ (Free of charge)
Once sufficient interest has been shown by the public the film industry will look at the movie in a more favourable light and the funds for completion are likely to be made available. You can help to show this public interest. Simply provide your name and email address and answer three quick yes/no questions. We will then inform you of developments and ensure that you are the first to be informed when the Internet version is ready for streaming.
Please also invite your friends to view the trailer and become ‘Friends of KINGKENNEDY’ themselves.
