Black Rock Boutique ...let us slip you into something a little more questionable. (then make a documentary about it)
It's been 15 years since black rock boutique first hit the playa. but where did it come from? and why have we been slipping people into something a little more questionable since 1996?
has it always been a yearly rite of passage for virgin and veteran burners alike? it's time to take a look back at how it all began, spend time with current boutiquers and see how a one of the oldest continuous theme camps around shapes up and ships out for 2011. it's time to vision forward. will black rock boutique exist 15 years from now? will burning man?
SepiaTron3000 (a.k.a Sara Greer) is an experimental, documentary filmmaker about to attend her 7th consecutive burn and 4rth year with the black rock boutique. The boutique is her first theme camp and she intends for the movie to be a learning tool for other camps. The entire crew is made up of Boutiquers!
The film will explore our past and tell our current story; the planning stages, the meetings, the work parties, the individual contributions, local events, loading it up, driving it down, setting it up, bounding about in our glittery glory and bringing it all back home again for our inevitable semi-hibernation. just in time for rainy season.
Your backing will help afford our crew things like gaff tape, bounce boards, SD Cards, a Playa Microphone, data storage and Post Production.
Your funds will also support these public events and their cinematic documentation!
