In the spirit of collaboration Green Spark Group is seeking local in-kind donations to help with the shoot. We have already been given the green light on an in-kind donation for our cameras from Sim Digital ‘ thank you! We are also hoping for in-kind studio space to shoot the interviews, equipment and any resources for post-production. Our goal is to raise a minimum $100K to produce this piece.
