SUMMARY:Nowhere to Be\, campaign closes
DESCRIPTION:‘NOWHERE TO BE’ is an intimate portrait of humanity shot during the global coronavirus pandemic\, pulling back the curtain on those who are usually behind the camera – showing that the need to create will always endure. \nIt’s April 2020. As the COVID-19 pandemic ravages the world\, humanity is brought to a standstill. All ages\, races\, and genders are suddenly united in experience. As people grapple with the consequences\, 31 cinematographers across 21 countries turned to an integral part of human nature: storytelling. They did this in the only way they knew how with a camera in hand. Using their art to look inward. Examining reflections\, hopes\, dreams and regrets. Uncovering the human experience of a moment in time that will define a generation. \nFilmmaker Charlotte Evans is an award-winning documentary\, music video\, and commercial director. Since starting her career as an editor in London\, Charlotte has directed\, produced and edited music videos for artists such as Benee\, Kimbra and Aldous Harding. She is currently in post-production on her first feature documentary Being Chlöe\, developed from her short OK Chlöe. \n

They are hard-working men and women with day jobs. \nThey have toured widely in New Zealand and Australia and have a following on social media approaching 45\,000 true believers internationally. Their gigs are sold-old\, visually and audio-wise brilliant – reproducing image-for-image and note- for-note the true sound of the original Pink Floyd.  The band have covered every Pink Floyd album\, including “The Wall” and last year’s spectacular 50th Anniversary “Dark Side of the Moon” tour. \nThis year they will reproduce one of Pink Floyd’s most iconic concert experiences – the awesome “Pulse” show\, first staged at Earls Court in London thirty years ago. There’ll be “Pulse” and much more\, at venues throughout Aotearoa. \nTwo very experienced film-makers and journalists\, Rob Harley and Alan Seay\, want to work with the Pink Floyd Experience to make a highly memorable 60-75 minute\, high quality documentary on the 2024 tour.
