About this project

Hello Kickstarters,

My name is Danny Grinnell, I am a Michigan based filmmaker and currently in production on my new Documentary Ron Finch That's All You Get. Ron Finch is an American Icon and Internationally known Bike Builder/Artist who has been customizing bikes since the 60's. With one week to go in our Kickstarter campaign we could use a few business pledges. Here is a chance for Global Exposure and some collectible Finch items. Please send this to all your friends as we are trying to reach All Fans of Finch who may really enjoy being a part of this.

In 2002 I won a Telly award for a locally produced documentary The Fifth Legend and have produced several narrative short films and concert films. Ron Finch That's All You Get is my first feature that I plan to submit to film festivals globally.  

I have been filming since June of 2011 and still interviewing while editing the film. I have made it this far and now I need help finishing and getting it to festivals. That is where you can help and get some cool things in the process, check out the rewards and be part of this experience.

Ron Finch, legendary motorcylce builder, pin striper, painter, artist and biker is internationally known for his unique creations. Overcoming a speech disorder in the 40's, Ron Finch revolutionized the motorcycle industry and still amazes people with his wild metal sculpting and psychedelic painting. Told in a style that reflects Ron's artistic sensibilities, "Ron FInch That's All You Get" quickly reveals that with Ron, it's never all you get.

I'm creating a film experience that offers fans and enthusiasts of cycles & art a glimpse into Ron's uniquely creative mind.

My goal is to obtain completion resources so the documentary I've been filming since June can be submitted to film festivals by mid March 2012.

I'm using mainly Michigan based music with a few exceptions. You can support these acts by visiting their websites and buying some music or Merch.             The List so far:

The Detroit Cobras  http://www.detroitcobras.org/

The Dirtbombs http://www.thedirtbombs.net/

PeRPLeXa  http://perplexa.bandcamp.com/

Sloan http://www.sloanmusic.com/

Troy Gregory and the Witches http://troygregory.bandcamp.com/

Thanks for reading this and hopefully you can help me reach my goal. There are plenty of great rewards available to you and this is something that we call all share in the experience of.

Danny Grinnell
