A one Jennifer Washington is three quarters of the way through a project that’s spotlighting Detroit and the birth of Techno more specifically. After connecting with some filmmakers from Detroit they decided to embark on a journey that is to tell the REAL story of Detroit Techno.
“I thought surely if we could create an inspiring story, we could finally show the beautiful side of what the world views as one of the poorest and most dangerous cities in America.” – Jennifer Washington.
The Detroit Sound Project is a documentary series in-the-making exploring the music of Detroit and its creators, as well as its influence on music around the world. For the past 3 years Jennifer and her Director, Kristian R. Hill have been travelling around the globe documenting DJ/Producers like Juan Atkins, Derrick May, and Richie Hawtin among others that will be featured in the Detroit Sound Project documentary.
Jennifer goes on to say that they’re almost done now with production but have a shoot in Berlin with Detroit star Milke Huckaby to round off theirs and Detroit’s story. The journey has been amazing so far with much support. Generous donations have been made to help make this all possible as making a documentary is not a cheap escapade. If you felt like being a part of telling the REAL story of Detroit you could check this out and contribute to the cause.
Just over $1000 has been raised to date with the initiative ending on December 31st 2013. Watch the video giving you insight on the project.
