How the project was produced?

We started the project in 2020 thanks to a Globedreamers’ campaign, which reached 2472 € (49% of the goal) thanks to 52 donators. Thanks to them as well as our team contribution, we could do :

1. - Carry out 12 interviews shot in 2021 (7 retained within the framework of the documentary and 4 for the YouTube channel), of citizens invested in permacultural philosophy, relating to different areas such as construction, agriculture, waste management, appropriate technologies and health.

2. - Film large numerous illustrative plans: the daily life of the interviewees, applied practices, community as well as contemplative plans.

3. – Gather archive documents filmed and recovered from the Golondrinas forest fire in 2021, having ravaged 15,000 hectares in 8 hours, destroying 605 houses in passing and affecting 1555 people.

4. – Realize a fiction/metaphor made in Patagonia in 2021, around the theme of the seed and the transmission as well as a reconstruction carried out in France in 2022.

5. – Lead 12 clean walks in Patagonia in the collective Mision Comarca Limpia gathering up to 30 volunteers.

What will the HelloAsso campaign be used for?

This new crowdfunding aims to finish the work in the best conditions, meaning:

1. – organize, clean and edited content,
2. – record the off-voice,
3. – pay the services of illustrators, and animators to create animations
4. – pay musicians to record the original soundtracks
5. – write subtitles in French and in Spanish
6. – distribute the project (premieres, educational and cultural areas, and festivals)
7. – give a meaningful counterparts to the crowdfunding participant

Will it be a film or a series?

First intended to be a 45 mins film, the production phase made us realize that this would be way too short to share the experience collected through the interviews, we thought to make a 90 mins film.

After creative restructuring in 2022 and readapting our scenario, we agree to make it divided into 4 episodes/chapters of 15 to 25 mins.

Why does the prodution take time?

Films and series productions are usually a long process that usually involved A LOT of ressources (people, material and money).

Doing this project without a production house, based on a small voluntary core team, in their free time, make such a process even longer. That’s why your support is key to bettering our working conditions and making this process faster. 

We also had to deal with the professionnal priorities of our core team that led to various breaks that were more or less long, as well as permitted us to grow and gain in experiences in our field of expertize. 

What do you mean by a semi-professional production?

I (Rodrigue, productor and co-director of Nave Tierra) will talk from a personal perspective.

I am passionate about documentaries for a while now, and I always dreamed to one day realize my own one about a meaningful topic. When the sanitary crisis started, the opportunity to make it was so strong that I jump on the occasion, even if I was a novice, I knew that I will learn during the process as a good autodidact as I am. 

But this lack of experience at the beginning led me to give myself too ambitious goals by wanting to realize this documentary too fast, as well as to make some beginner mistakes. Hopefully, I was accompanied by Marisol and Jorge, which help me to understand better different aspects of realizing and audiovisual, then get trained by Ciclic, meeting and exchanging with professionals from the audiovisual industry, which made me understand that even for a short movie, the development process can turn to be sometimes many years. 

So I slow down, review what we had, and keep received more experiences from other professionals from France, Chile and Argentina, got assisted by Alexis from ONI Films and self-trained myself by reading about documentary realization and production. This let me the space to mature the project, make it stronger and better organised and respect the fact that we – the whole team – are working on it voluntarily because we believe that this project is worth the effort. 

Today I’m much more confident, resilient and realistic with regard to my capacities and the one of the crew involved in the project, as well as what needs to be done and how to make it become reality.
