Filmmakers Patrick Shen and Brandon Vedder on Film Courage (Ep. #138)

Filmmakers Patrick Shen and Brandon Vedder are in the Film Courage studio to tell us about their latest film La Source, a feature documentary about two brothers Chrismedonne and Josue Lajeunesse and their dream to bring clean water to their impoverished village in Haiti at whatever cost. Patrick and Brandon tell us how they acclimated to Haiti post-earthquake, how they developed trust and a comfort zone with their subjects, their goal to reach an audience of 100,000 people, and their social action campaign in which they hope to build 3000 wells for those who have no access to clean water.

What happens to the projects that fail to reach their Kickstarter goal?

After losing it all on Kickstarter, Vampire Mob raised over $10,000 through their web site and completed season two, which you can see free and commercial-free at VampireMob.com
