A feature film about the South African music industry, produced by radio presenter, musical director, singer and songwriter Jon Savage, is calling for support through a crowdfunding campaign, in order to complete production on the movie.
Stone Cold Jane Austen tells the story of a fictional Bellville-based rock band and features local actors and artists including Rob van Vurren, Jack Parow, Fokofpolisiekar, Die Heuwels Fantasties, Aking, Chris Chameleon and Blk Jks. Randall Abrahams (Idols), Kahn Morbee (The Parlotones) and international pop star Daniel Bedingfield also make cameo appearances in the film.
“I’ve seen all the sides of this industry, the good, the bad and the ugly. The SA music industry is gagging for a comedy about it,’ says Savage who has been working on the project for three years.
He adds, “When Leon Schuster watched the pilot, he loved it. He said to me, “people HAVE to see this film! You have got to get this made. That was a pivotal point for me as he was one of the first people to actually see it. And I’ve spent the last year getting it to this point.”
The film features on crowdfunding website, Indiegogo where potential contributors will find all the necessary information regarding funding requirements.
