The forthcoming feature film Anyone Can Play Guitar, made by local chappie Jon Spira, is nearing completion. One of the final hurdles in getting it ready to screen is a final sound mix – obviously very important for a film all about music, which is why it’s going to cost £10,000 to get a fancy sound designer on the case.

In his own words, this is how Jon explains the film:

This is a story that needs to be told. Not only does it have the cultural significance of (for the first time) uncovering the story of the real people and circumstances without whom the world would never have got Radiohead, Ride, Supergrass or Foals, but it also shows what can be achieved through a community pulling together. It’s a unique film and unlike any other music documentary in the sheer scale of the story and intimacy of the production. Although I’ve been a film-maker for years, this is my first feature film and is a truly independent production. The film is narrated by Stewart Lee.

It’s hard to disagree that this is an exciting, important film, and this final stage of production needs your help. You can contribute to that £10,000 goal by offering anything from $15 to $800 (or more!). In return, you’ll get all kinds of neat stuff, including free DVDs with special bonus features, credits on the film itself, premiere tickets and more! You’ll also get the warm feeling of being involved with the project – and, you know, that kind of opportunity doesn’t come along too often.
