THE PROJECT

NA NAI'A LEGEND OF THE DOLPHINS is a feature film documentary which celebrates the spectacular beauty of the dolphins, their message to humanity, their power, their wisdom, their fun-loving nature, and the importance of their global conservation.   

Photography of the film has been completed and the film is post-production/final picture and sound edit stages. Funding of a minimum of $100,000 is currently needed in order to complete the film including final picture and sound edit of the film, final music recording/edit, production of opening and end credits and final sound mix such that the film is ready to exhibit in theaters, DVD and television.

This film is very extraordinary in that it presents the story of the dolphins from their point of view, using fantastic film sequences that we have filmed around the world, in conjunction with amazing music and voiceover narration recorded by a variety of artists. 

KATE WINSLET, MEGAN FOX, WHOOPI GOLDBERG, ELLEN PAGE, CHEECH MARIN, JAMES FRANCO,  JULIAN LENNON, DIEGO LUNA,  ISABELLA ROSSELLI and GERARD BUTLER have each participated as narrators of various countries in this film and have supported this project in order to encourage international conservation of the dolphins and the environment of the oceans of the Earth.  

Daryl Hannah appears in the film and participated in an underwater film shoot on the Big Island of Hawaii, with the Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins.

This film features and exciting soundtrack featuring the wonderful song IMAGINE performed by JOHN LENNON and music of THE EVERLY BROTHERS, K D LANG, and MARVIN GAYE.

THE ROLLING STONES have provided the use of the song BEAST OF BURDEN within the Amazon sequence filmed in Brazil.

RINGO STARR has also participated on this documentary.  Award winning Hollywood Composer RANDY EDELMAN has composed the original music score for the film, and it sounds FANTASTIC.  Randy composed the scores for THE MASK, BILLY MADISON, BEETHOVEN, THE MUMMY and about a hundred other films.

The film is expected to reach a diverse international audience and to receive substantial press and publicity through its worldwide distribution in theatres, on DVD, and on television.
