Eyes Wide Open: Kubrick Documentary
Donation protected
My name is Derek Campbell & I'm a musician & aspiring filmmaker from Denver, CO. I've been working on a documentary about Stanley Kubrick & the many puzzles thought to be hidden in plain sight, throughout some of his film works & how it has given birth to some very interesting theories, in popular culture today...
Some of you may have seen or heard about a documentary called "Room 237" that focused on some of these same theories. As someone who was already well on my way down the Kubrick rabbit hole, by the time I heard about Room 237, I was initially very excited about it & remember waiting over 2yrs to finally see it in the U.S. After finally getting my hands on a copy, I was ready for the doors to be blown wide open on a subject that had begun to consume such a big part of my time...but was fairly disappointed to find that, while it did contain elements that I had myself begun to identify in my analysis of the film The Shining, I found a lot of the co-contributors theories/claims to be rather ridiculous & the film as a whole to be crudely put together...
In my documentary, I'll be delving head-first into all of the elements of these theories that other filmmakers have been too afraid to discuss. A story that has given birth to an entire sub-culture of conspiracy theorists/truth-seekers, who have shared similar theories about the supposed puzzles contained in Kubricks works, specifically "The Shining" "Eyes Wide Shut" & "2001: A Space Odyssey" that touch on subjects like the Apollo 11 moon landing, the assasination of JFK, UFOs, Subliminal Suggestion, Secret Societies & more...
While most of the film will be funded by myself, I'm seeking help from you to enable me to get some of the most important parts of my research done, which include meeting with multiple sources, like Vivian Kubrick, Jack Nicholson & other cast members, former NASA employees, and all the travel expenses involved in making those meetings happen. As well as helping me get the film made & put in front of the biggest audience possible!
With this goal, you'll be enabling me to put 100% of my time into having this vision realized in a year's time, rather than 5! And there will be some amazing incentives for every level of contribution, including film credits, merch bundles, copies of the film, VIP screenings & even a part in the film...
I can't express how excited I am to finally be launching this project, that has been so long in the making...
Let's make it happen!!!
