What is this project all about?

We want to take you on a journey to africa like you've never seen it before. That's why we're planning on producing the movie "A Journey - Two people. Two year. One dream". Help us to carry out this dream.

Initially we aimed on driving from Hamburg to South Africa within six months. That didn't work so well. Six months became 22 months. And we never reached our destination. Instead we drove, walked and surfed more than 29.000 miles through 14 west african cMehr anzeigen

What is the project goal and who is the project for?

All you travel addicts, globetrotters, documentary and movie lovers, small or big - doesn't matter - you can look forward to some exciting, entertaining and stirring hours while we take you on a journey more than one time around the world.

Our film and our talk aim to encourage each one of you who has a personal dream to just go for it. No matter if it is traveling, change your job, have a family or whatever else. Just break out of your daily life and challMehr anzeigen

Why would you support this project?

Be honest, how often do you dream of simply tossing everything aside. To quit the job and leave all the stress, anger or whatever is bothering behind. To escape to, let's say, a lonely beach. To a place where time stands still. Where you can dream, where you can travel, where you can be.

We want to take you on a journey to the beautiful, the laughing, the crying, the real africa. See it from an angle you won't get in the media: close, human and without thisMehr anzeigen

How will we use the money if the project is successfully funded?

When we reach the first funding goal we will order the soft- and hardware we need for a project of this dimension. We can rent the software but the hardware we need to buy. A movie of this length is not easily stored on your everyday hard drive. We need literally a mass storage: 20 Terabyte (20.000 GB) plus a second one as backup.
Furthermore we will secure food and accomodation for our little team. The team members for editing and music will work app. 8 toMehr anzeigen

Who are the people behind the project?

The persons behind the film project "A Journey" are two africa and travel addicted globetrotters: Ulrich Stirnat (32) and Lena Wendt (32). We two are responsible for directing and the production in this project. Actually for everything except editing, music and graphic design. And the two guys in front of the camera. That's us too.

In his former life Ulli was biomedical engineer and worked in a big company. He's from a small town near Hamburg and before goiMehr anzeigen
