On Saturday, August 22, 2015, Nora Unkel, director of the "Goblin Song" movie and 'Behind the Scenes' Documentary, held a private film screening and reception for about sixty supporters at Richard Brunelle Performance Hall, on the Davis Senior High School campus. Nora had crowd-sourced funding for the movie, and wanted to thank not just people in New York, but people in California too.As part of her crowdsourcing effort, Nora had previously announced:
The film is my 20 minute, short, thesis film for New York University, Tisch School of the Arts. We are going to be shooting the film in the Davis, California, area in late March of this year (2014). This is an opportunity for me to showcase the beautiful locations around Davis and to utilize many of the supportive people and groups that I have been a part of my whole life.
The film itself is a dark, fairy tale, musical set in the Victorian era. It is about the love of two sisters as they have to persevere against the entrancement of a group of mystical goblin men and their temptations. The film is called “The Goblin Song”.
I have been working on the film now for about three years and see it as the culmination of everything that I have learned in the last four years at film school. This film is showcasing everything that I want to continue making movies about- it is a musical because I grew up doing musical theatre, it is a fairy tale as I have always had a love of Disney and fairy tales, and it is in the Victorian era because I am a history minor and love the symbology of that time period.
The film, once completed, will be sent around the world to film festivals and producers, hoping for as much viewing as possible as well as a possible distribution deal. The film is also the beginning of my career and will be a stepping stone for me to enter the professional film world.
More recently, she announced:
Hello everyone!
I am so beyond excited to share the final film with all of you. We apologize for the delay, as we have been waiting on film festival submissions and post production tweaks... but we are finally able to share the completed film with all of you!
This film would not have been made without your support. Myself and the rest of the team are forever in your debt and want you to know how eternally grateful we truly are for everything.
We will be having a screening in Davis, California this coming summer and would love to see as many of you there as can be! We'll also be screening a Behind the Scenes Documentary that is in the works as we speak. We'll keep you updated as to the time and date for this as well as any other screenings happening at film festivals.
...
Much love and gratitude always,
Nora and the Goblin Song Team
