Sponsored Press Release:

THE CAMPAIGN
Rough Water Films has launched an IndieGoGo campaign for BREWLAND to raise $65,000 by September 30th,2014. The purpose of the campaign is to raise the funds necessary to complete the remainder of the production. BREWLAND chose Indiegogo as a means to help fund their campaign. Indiegogo is an online, crowd-funding website which allows people to donate to campaigns while receiving gifts (called “perks”) in exchange for their contribution. BREWLAND is offering a number of exciting perks attached to their campaign including a custom American Apparel Hoodie of Brewland; a Brewland custom home brew; and a brewing session with the crew at Hopster’s in Newton. Contributions are easy to make and can be done on a computer or from the Indiegogo app (available on iOS and Andriod phone systems).

“IndieGoGo helps creative people raise the funds by reaching out to the people – which is something that has been important to BREWLAND,” said writer Christopher Crossen. “From the start, the production has been about getting people involved. With the launch of the IndieGoGo, fans can help fund the project and be a part of the making of the film.” Since starting the campaign, BREWLAND has been featured on such media outlets as 98.5 The Sports Hub, New England Films, & ESPN Denver as well as numerous craft beer podcasts like Beer O’Clock Radio with the Beer Goddess.

THE FILM
BREWLAND™ is a feature-length documentary exploring the growing craft beer industry in the United States. The most successful and popular brewers share their views on how craft beer grew from its humble beginnings to the massive industry it are today. The film is a “coming of age” tale about an industry struggling to define its identity in an ever-changing environment growing at an unsustainable pace. “Craft beer as an industry is growing faster and faster each year. We want to see what brings them all together and why so many people have become enamored with this movement,” says director Michael Sills. BREWLAND™ aims to showcase the many sides of the craft beer movement while seeking to reveal both what it means to be a craft beer and what the future may hold for the craft brewing world.
