I started to work around the idea of making this movie about names, homonymy and name changes, long time ago. Now I’m about to finish it. But recently Janez Janša, my name sake, came back to power and the perception of my work has taken a drastic distortion, especially in the media. In some of the press the movie has been labeled as “degenerate art” (Heil!), in other as pornography produced with public money, and the director of the film studios VIBA Film (our technical partner, where we suppose to finish the sound mix) is pulling-out of the project…
Nevertheless, we decided to finish the film professionally and to screen it soon in Slovenia and around the word. This is why we launched a crowdfunding call.
Crowdfunding is a way to finance projects collectively, from the bottom up is to say.
How does it work?
You have an idea. You publish it on a crowdfunding platform and you indicate the rewards you offer in exchange of contributions (merchandising, special editions, access to downloads, etc). Then you open the call and start looking for supporters. A project is successfully funded when it raises 100% of its funding goal within 40 days. You are charged at the end of the campaign and only if the project reaches its goal!
Now we are in the middle of this process for our film »My Name Is Janez Janša«. 62 patrons gave us already their support! THANKS TO ALL OF THEM!
There’s a long way to go to reach the goal though and you can be .
Yours sincerely… Janez!
