THE BOOK. Why Crowd Funding?
The (progressive) disappearance of the Video Rental stores had led to a void in the knowledge of cinema history for newer generations, and we want to rescue that place in one book.
The concept stems from the idea that there is a World of Film out there to be explore, and the best way to take a trip to this world is with a travel guide book.
A/Z. Movie Guide started a year and a half ago. The book is finished and now we required your help to share this work with everybody.
Everything started with the simplest principle of collaboration between two persons (Tamara y Gabriel) with different skills (film/history and design/photography). With time, many people collaborate with their work, ideas, advices and solidarity.
Is natural that we have to end by praising the flag of COLLABORATION and sense of community.
In Idea.me we are giving the book with a PROMOTIONAL Price.
