Anton Doiron, a local film maker and regular JUMP participant, has a nice new camera and is offering his filming services:

I’m raising money to finish my current movie Space Trucker Bruce so I offer my services for filming your summer JUMP festival entry.   I have a Blackmagic Cinema Camera that has similar dynamic range to film and can shoot in 2.5k RAW or 1080p Apple ProRes422 format.  You organize it and I will film it.  When filming is done I will put the files on an external hard drive or DVD for you to edit.  I can take the focus off of the filming part so you can just be creative.  Drop me an email at anton@spacepiratefilms.com

New policy. We’re going to try to avoid screening pitch videos at the JUMP film festivals. There are a whole grocery list of reasons why but mostly, we feel like the JUMP Society film festival is the wrong environment for that sort of thing.

But you know what is the right environment? This website! If anyone is trying to raise funds for local film projects, I’ll be happy to embed your pitch video right here.

So if this sounds interesting, you can jump in and support Saffron in telling his story and completing his project of eight years. Here’s the pitch…
