Hi I'm James Anaquad Kleinert, International Award Winning Director www.theamericanwildhorse.com; I've been shooting the upcoming documentary film Horse Medicine for over ten years in the stunning American West. We've assembled a marvelous film collection of aesthetic horse and rider footage, including interviews with gifted and inventive equestrians, Hollywood stars, horse enthusiasts, Cowboys ‘n Indians and authentic horse people along with select scenes from one of the most dynamic contemporary wild horse film archives, originally from our popular documentary film Wild Horses & Renegades. Wild Horses & Renegades became one of the Documentary Channel’s most popular films in 2012 reaching approximately 30 million American households. This film is credited with leading the way to help save America's wild horses. Wild Horses & Renegades was listed by Blog Critics as one of the top ten overlooks gems of 2011, Blogcritics.org
NOW: Editing and Post Production Our game plan is to edit this awesome library of footage for Horse Medicine into one feature length documentary film. This documentary will become the flag ship for an anticipated six-part series. 75% of the feature film is in the can! We have an amazing cast complementing the breathtaking cinematography! In the weeks ahead, we will be doing a final wrap and begin an intensive and costly post-production process.
Director’s note: "After touring with our award winning film Wild Horses & Renegades it became apparent there is a need for a spectacular documentary film celebrating the human/horse relationship; a film that inspires us to create that authentic heart-felt bond with majestic, sentient beings. Horses have an unusual ability to help us slow down, connect and find inner peace. I truly believe that this beautiful documentary film will empower humans in their daily lives and in doing so, motivate us to make stronger connections with each other and Mother Earth.” Horse Medicine, an important experiential film, will raise awareness of equine programs, educational causes and contemporary environmental issues all culminating to connect us to a ground state of earth wisdom.
Cinematographer James Anaquad has spent these ten years shooting the project with no compensation. Much of the talent has donated their time with the hopes of being paid. The final filming and post-production process ahead will be daunting and costly. With enough support, together, we can bring this beautiful and powerful documentary film into fruition and inspire millions of people.

IN SUMMARY: What will the money be used for? My trusty Mac G-5 Tower (that we used to edit Wild Horses & Renegades) is ten years old. It is breaking down. Needless to say, we need to purchase a new Mac Tower. Final-wrap around filming, post-production editing, talent fee’s, color correction, music licensing, final sound mixing and mastering of film as well as back-up of hard drives and office rent require funding. If we go over our goal, wonderful, we will be able to film even more empowering stories and bring the production values higher! We will do a coffee-table book featuring beautiful photos, thoughtful writings and quotes from our cast, our cast and crew will get paid (and really appreciate it).
Risks and challenges Learn about accountability on Kickstarter
The biggest challenge will be going through the massive film library we've shot over this ten year period. Currently we seek an assistant editor and post-production manager to work on this dynamic project! Funding is critical. We need to keep our production team going! Most of the content is in the can! We have a proven record of success! We've produced several award-winning documentary movies start to finish. We’re ready to perform and have manufactured all of the outreach gifts. We just need the financial support to bring Horse Medicine across the finish line!
