SPRINGSTEEN & I “SPRINGSTEEN & I” is the ultimate collective filmmaking experience - for the people and by the people, which will culminate in a unique feature musicdocumentary set to be released in cinemas across the world in 2013. The production team will edit the footage to feature length and are therefore requesting that submissions be raw footage rather than edited material. As well as moving image accounts on camera, the filmmakers are looking for fans to provide photographs, old footage or audio narration to help them build up a picture of what the acclaimed songwriter and musician means to them. Movie and image files will be able to be quickly uploaded through the film’s website www.springsteenandi.com by following simple online instructions. Ideally, the higher quality the footage the better, but the producers stress that any equipment, from smartphones to hi-def cameras are accepted – as long as they are all UNDER 5 MINUTES IN LENGTH. Anything longer and participants will need to contact the production team to agree on delivery methods.
