It took 20 years to surface from the depths of darkness. Nadia finally goes home to Australia to release the ashes of her Ocean Master.

Do you know someone that has had a traumatic life altering event happen so overwhelming it almost crushes the essence of who they are? 

20 years

It was 20 years ago that Nadia's father unexpectedly passed away.  A teenager at the time, this tragedy devastated Nadia.  A debilitating darkness that consumed Nadia to her core crushing her natural artistic creativity. Fortunately Nadia had the sense and the strength to seek help. Through the therapy process it unchained a record's worth of heartfelt lyrics creating an album called "The Ocean Master".  Nadia's artistic soul was reborn.

Journey

In June, I will be traveling to Nadia's homeland with a simplified version of her band.  Nadia, Dave, Harvey and myself are driving across Australia. We will embark on a 3 week road trip filled with live music gigs, teaching children to sing, a family unification culminating with Nadia's releasing of her father's ashes at sea. Two decades later, a final resting place for her father and a healing milestone for Nadia.

Purpose

This project is to create a documentary film about hope, strength and love.

Nadia's story will be an inspirational film about changing one's life.

The goal is to raise $2,500 dollars.  This will merely reimburse the project for the expenses mentioned below.  Anything over the goal will be used to pay a professional film editor. An important task to creating a powerful and inspirational film.  

Your donations will go directly towards essential film documenting equipment: external hard drives to store the many hours of film footage, video memory cards and rental fees for lighting, sound and video equipment.
