December 21, 12:35 PM, 2012 Ingenious Although the making of INGENIOUS has been a labor of love, it hasn’t been easy. We raised production money from the invention that inspired the film. Then, slowly over the past couple of years we have been pulling together funding to give the film the quality post-production it deserves. It has taken a while to get to this point, but we feel it’s been well worth the wait.We now have a finished film, beautifully shot on 35mm in scenic Tucson, AZ and an original sound track on Dolby Surround Sound, composed by the world renowned Arizona musician, Howe Gelb.We made this film on our own and want to distribute it outside the Hollywood system without studio interference or control. That’s why we’ve turned to Kickstarter, for one final fundraising push to help pay the costs connected with getting this movie into theaters.
