[Frameworks] A re-introduction and my project, “TRANSMUTATIONS”.

[Jesse Andrewartha]

Hi All!

Please allow me to re-introduce myself. My name is Jesse Andrewartha, I am a photographer and filmmaker based on Vancouver, BC. I have made a number of short films over the past four years and won some accolades in the festival circuit. I’m posting today to ask for your help with my Kickstarter campaign. 

I know there have been a myriad of these in the past posted to this forum, some posts outright rude and so I do not ask flippantly. There’s a lot of demands on your wallet this time of the year, but I believe I have a unique project and some nice filmic & art rewards. If you choose to read further, check out my campaign and contribute, I’ll be deeply grateful for your assistance! With that said... 

I would like to ask for your support for my Kickstarter campaign, "TRANSMUTATIONS: Visualizing Matter | Materializing Vision" – a unique, immersive, mixed media project combining an expanded 16mm documentary and series of uranotypes that explore ecological and cultural legacies of uranium mining, relationships between ‘apocalyptic’ material practices and the capacity of symbolism to communicate their force.

Nuclear issues have risen to the forefront of contemporary political discourse: from rising tensions with North Korea, the continued contamination from Fukushima to proposed resumption of uranium mining in the latest assault on US national monuments. The urgency of this project, to provide space for commentary on human-material practices, impacts on communities and to images adequate to convey the force of radioactive materials, is why I believe it is important to undertake this project now.

Your contribution will directly fund fees to guide and access fees to selected selected mines in Utah and Saskatchewan that will be featured in the documentary. 

I’m 19% of the way with 2 weeks left! In the short week the campaign has been live, it was selected as a “Project We Love” by Kickstarter and has been featured on websites such as RadioactiveThings.com and undergroundexplorers.com! Here’s the link:

Please help me to share this work by heading over to my Kickstarter, watch the intro and videos and make a donation if you can. If not, please consider spreading the word to friends and colleagues by sharing the link above. Needless to say, I am humbled and incredibly grateful for any contribution to my project. 

Thank you all for your time!
