Utah Ex-Felon Develops Kickstarter Campaign for “Forgiveness” Documentary Film
Matt Duhamel, an ex-felon and local Salt Lake City filmmaker, is promoting a Kickstarter Campaign in order to raise funds for a documentary film on forgiveness.
Salt Lake City, UT (PRWEB) February 2, 2014 – Matt Duhamel, who directed and produced his first documentary film, “What Makes Me Tic?”, a film about Tourette’s Syndrome, is now focusing efforts for a second project, a film on the power of forgiveness.
In the documentary film, Duhamel discusses forgiveness and reconciliation while courageously opening up about his past failures including his former incarceration. He speaks with spiritual leaders, professionals, researchers and everyday people while highlighting their stories in hopes to better understand how the forgiveness process affects our everyday lives.
“…though the film includes my own personal story, it’s not a self-serving film. Professionals, researchers, everyday people, spiritual leaders and more are interviewed so we can better understand the forgiveness process. I also highlight personal and powerful stories from everyday people. The stories cover attempted suicide, abuse and other personal struggles”, Duhamel states.
Duhamel has already interviewed local professionals, doctors and authors including, Dr. Wendy Ulrich, PhD., author “Forgiving Ourselves”, Dr. David Derezotes, Professor at the University of Utah School of Social Work, The Very Rev. Joe Waldon from The Cathedral Church of St. Mark, and many others including renowned forgiveness researcher, Dr. Robert Enright, Ph.D., Co-founder of the International Forgiveness Institute.
As film director of Metamora Films, Duhamel is asking $3,500 for a HP Workstation editing system in order to complete the film’s post-production phase. His Kickstarter Campaign runs through March 2nd, 2014 with donations being accepted by visiting: www.kickstarter.com
