Emulsion Arts launches crowd funding campaign

Last week Emulsion Arts launched its first crowd funding campaign to help complete a documentary about an obscure Hollywood collector, Martin Hill. Martin owns the greatest collection of vintage Hollywood film equipment in the world and its located in the modest, remote town of Midland, NC. The collection includes cameras, lights and stage props from Academy Award movies like Gone with the Wind, Lawrence of Arabia, Star Wars and countless other award winning films. Charlie Chaplin’s personal camera that filmed The Gold Rush is Martin’s most cherished piece in his collection.

“With the declining state of the collection we felt there was no better time than now to capitalize on the popularity of crowd funding by launching a Kickstarter campaign to fund the completion of the project,” said Bruce Clark, Director of Strategic Development at Emulsion Arts.

The campaign will run for the next 43 days. Emulsion Arts hopes to raise over $6,000. The money will be used to complete editing, scoring and post production work.
