About this project

Thanks for taking the time to visit my Kickstarter funding page! I hope you enjoy the video above and are inspired to help make this project come to fruition. Pledges of all shapes and sizes are welcome. Feel free to e-mail me at BRASS@whoisbrass.com if you have any questions.

What is this project about?

Enter the house of manicures in my newest documentary "NAILgasm", exploring how nail art has evolved from the streets to high fashion and has exploded to everywhere in between in just the past few years. I plan to research and share the recent demand for nail designs and also focus on the extraordinary creativity of each nail artist I interview. This will include interviews with leading luxury nail stylists, world famous nail art enthusiasts, plus independent nail artists and pop culture journalists from areas such as Los Angeles, Oakland, Las Vegas, Chicago, New York, London and Japan and beyond.

Where will funding go?

Production costs. While I already have some of the equipment I need to bring this project to life (ie camera, computer etc) there are other production costs (see below) that once covered, I believe will help make this project a truly great documentary nail art enthusiasts everywhere will enjoy.

+ Audio Equipment – lavaliere microphones, etc...

+ Lighting equipment

+ Macro lens (to get really cool close-up shots of Nail Art)

+ Travel

+ Graphic design layout

+ Editing/Post-production software

+ Original music

Connected as Ayla L. Montgomery (579 friends)

When I was a little girl, I loved to make movies starring my Golden Retriever, Buster, dressed up in my Mom’s jewelry (sorry, Mom) with my Dad’s VHS camcorder. Almost twenty years later, not much has changed. While my camera and editing skills have vastly improved since then, I still make films about my passions and the people I love.

Equal parts photographer and videographer, I’m 100% Documentarian. I'm heavily involved in the local Los Angeles music and art culture, and have dedicated the past few years of my life to documenting some of the most fascinating and talented people I’ve ever met. I hope their unique stories find you as enthralled and inspired by them as I am.
