Utah Film Project Promotes Community Involvement

Online, March 29, 2013 (Newswire.com) - An upcoming documentary film will bring together DIY projects, flight, community involvement, and original music. The title of this film is Feet On The Ground; Head In The Clouds. The Director is searching for backers to help fund production. Filming will begin in May 2013 and will be shot mostly within the Salt Lake Valley. The film is scheduled for release in February 2014.

Director Brandon Wilhelmsen explains that he is confident the film will be a success. "Whether this film is successful is measured in more than the camera angles and lighting. I want to take my community with me to create something lasting," says Brandon.

The idea for this film project began about five years ago in 2007, when Brandon set out to build a very large kite. Focused on work and school, Brandon allowed the project to sit in the corner and gather dust until this year. With a renewed determination to finish projects that had been abandoned, Brandon knew he wanted to document the project in some way. Photographs alone were not compelling, and then the idea to film the building and flying of the kite came to life. This would become a project larger than he previously imagined.

The community can become involved by backing the film's Kickstarter project. The community of backers from the Kickstarter project will be voting on what music will be used in the film, as well as other creative decisions. Musicians are also welcomed to begin submitting their signature singles for voting. All genres of music are welcomed, with one caveat: the music must be family friendly. Brandon states, "I want parents to feel comfortable with their children viewing the film."

Brandon Wilhelmsen is a graduate from the University of Utah, and studied film through courses there and while attending Salt Lake Community College. He has also collaborated on a few independent projects with friends.
