The Ballad of Genesis and Lady Jaye: A film by Marie Losier / Genesis Breyer P-Orridge

After 5 years of shooting, making costumes, interviews, working on the film on Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, I need some help to make this film happen finally. I need an editor to help shape the film to a good solid story, a sound engineer and transfer of films to HD. The goal is to have the film completed by November so that it’s ready for premiering at the Berlin Film Festival in 2011.

In order to meet this goal I need all the support I can get and I’m excited to announce an online fundraiser via Kickstarter.com.

A short excerpt from Brian Butler’s Night of Pan.

“Night of Pan” is a seven and a half minute film featuring film auteur Kenneth Anger and actor Vincent Gallo. The film has been screened in various versions internationally – Beijing, Lisbon, Cannes, Athens, Rome, Berlin and elsewhere, but never in Butler’s base, Los Angeles.

In the film, Anger, Gallo, and Butler depict an occult ritual that symbolizes the stage of ego death in the process of spiritual attainment. (from Dangerous Minds)
