Sonata Mulattica Trailer Short
Spark Media
Dominique-René de Lerma forwards this Sonata Mulattica Update from Spark Media:
Dear Friends,
We
hope this finds you well! Thank you so much for your interest in Spark
Media’s documentary Sonata Mulattica. You haven’t heard from us in a
little while, so here’s a quick update!
Since we began production in 2011, Sonata Mulattica
has received a handful of modest grants from the National Endowment for
the Arts, the Fetzer Institute, and the Virginia Foundation for the
Humanities. Despite a limited level of support we have persevered with
creativity and an imaginative use of resources to film some really
striking footage, from scenes with Rita Dove and Joshua Coyne to the
Sphinx Competition in Detroit, standout interviews with several
historians and artistic period re-enactments of George Bridgetower
himself.
Four years and over 100 hours of footage later, we are
hoping to complete production, round out our archival research and enter
post-production with a target release of the film in 2017. We are also
developing an exciting new digital project called The Search for Harmony,
a web-based game exploring the rich historical legacy of classical
musicians of African descent, which we hope will supplement the film’s
outreach efforts.
All best,
The Spark Media Team
