Hello everybody!
We are three filmmakers (Raffa, 31 and Alessio, 27 from Italy and Natalia, 25 from Greece) based in London. We all have a strong educational background in cinematography studies and professional experience in both fictional and documentary cinema.
We are currently in Gaborone, Botswana, where we are going to stay until the 13th of May, to film the documentary March of the Gods: Botswana Metalheads on the local heavy metal scene and the story of Wrust, one of the predominant local bands. The documentary aims to bring to light an emerging musical subculture blending the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, African tradition and Biker and Cowboy fashion and an unexpected point of view on Africa, a continent which is often misconceived.
We recently managed to get the band an invitation to play at SoloMacello, an independent heavy metal festival in Milan, Italy, on the 26th of June. Wrust will have the exciting opportunity to be the first metal band from Botswana to play in a major European festival along with international acts (this year the main act is going to be Red Fang). The live concert of the band in Italy is going to be an important part of the documentary and closing scene of the film.
We are now looking for funding to cover the travel expenses of the band from Botswana to Italy. This is our crowd funding campaign on indiegogo:

This is our teaser trailer from the first series of interviews to the local metalheads:
