Got this email this morning, thought I'd share the love:
Can you help support Jamaica's first 3D movie?


This is also the story of 9 Mile, Bob Marley's home village up in the breathtaking hills of St. Anne's where simple farmers fight for running water and education for their youth. Sledger recounts what it was like growing up in the 50's and 60's with Bob, his family roots and the Rasta culture they found when they went to Kingston, which at that time was shunned, but now pervades every part of Jamaica.

In the 50's, all the village kids called Bob Marley, Skipper because they looked to him as their leader. Sledger followed Bob and his Mom to Trenchtown, far away from home.Sledger was there with Bob as he rose to be a global sensation. But when Bob died, Sledger was left without his friend, retreating back into the shadows, into his faith.

Sledger is featured in the 2012 Ziggy Marley produced Bob Marley documentary where he talks about growing up with Bob. But this documentary is different. It is about Sledger and what his own life has taught him.
The unique experiences of Bob, Sledger and others-- including Bunny Wailer and Peter Tosh and dozens of Reggae greats-- led to a wealth of inspiration for songs dealing with the cultural, social, and political issues of time, many of which remain relevant today. This documentary captures Sledger's struggle, the intimate 3-D cinematography immersing you in the place and his story.
FILMING THE DOCUMENTARY
Principal photography on Sledger was completed in 2009, but his story has been curtailed due to the inability to afford completion of post-production. Shot over an arduous 12 days with a two-person crew, isolated in remote parts of Jamaica with little or no support, and using prototype 3-D equipment, Sledger is not only a labor of love, but a technical achievement.

That is where you play an important role in telling his tale-- with an added dimension. WHY 3-D?
A one-of-a-kind subject deserves a special experience. When in professional hands, 3-D truly does enhance your visual experience and enjoyment. In an environment such as Jamaica, the rich tropical backdrop, vivid colors and unique people make an even greater impact.

3-D film making has evolved to become an exciting and successful medium through innovations in technology and technique. Since Sledger was filmed, cameras have become easier use., Real-time editing in 3-D is a reality, and the entire process-- from conception to finish-- has been streamlined.
Stereo-based visual storytellers are now able to focus less on their equipment, and more on their subject.
This film holds the distinction of pioneering 3-D film making on a micro budget, and being the first of its type shot in Jamaica.

That's me, Victor
