Producer Ridley Scott is calling all Bruce Springsteen fans to make their own film about what Bruce means to them.
Scott and his team is putting together a documentary titled ‘Springsteen & I’.
The film is to be directed by Baille Walsh with producer Svana Gisla. “We encourage you to be part of this unique cinematic experience by either submitting a clip or getting in touch with us via email or phone,” says the film’s producer Svana Gisla. “We are searching for a wide variety of creative interpretations, captured in the most visually exciting way you can think of, whether you’ve been a hardcore Tramp since ’73 or have heard one of his songs for the first time today! If you have a parent, a sibling, a neighbor or a colleague who has an interesting tale, we want to know about them. If you can’t use a camera or are not sure how to capture your story then get in touch and we will link you up with someone who can!”
The plan is to release the film in cinemas in 2013.
Footage needs to be uploaded by Thursday, December 6 at 11am.
Movie and image files will be able to be quickly uploaded through the film’s website www.springsteenandi.com by following simple online instructions. Ideally, the higher quality the footage the better, but the producers stress that any equipment, from smartphones to hi-def cameras are accepted – as long as they are all UNDER 5 MINUTES IN LENGTH. Anything longer and participants will need to contact the production team to agree on delivery methods.
Word is Springsteen will tour Australia in 2013. 17 UK and European dates were announced today.
