Media Sponsor Announced
9News Announced as The Great Divide Media Sponsor
Spirits are high at Havey Productions. Filming is well under way for The Great Divide (view the film teaser here) and the scripting process is in full swing to produce this important educational film illustrating the history and significance of water in Colorado and the West. 9News, KUSA Denver, has joined the project as its Media Sponsor. What does that mean? It means that 9News will be our partners in getting the word out by broadcasting special news stories on the film production along with the full film in Summer 2015. Stay tuned!
As fundraising for The Great Divide closes, there will be a chance for water-drinkers around the state to get involved in this keystone project. We’ll be launching a Kickstarter campaign in early September to meet our matching grant challenges and complete our funding for the film. Backers of the project will be enticed with exclusive benefits for contributing – donated by some of the film sponsors. Interested in learning how to fly-fish, rafting roaring rivers, touring water facilities, exploring winter wonderlands via snowcat, or receiving your own DVD of the film? Be sure to keep your eye out for our campaign.Production PhotosThe production crew has been zig-zagging the state of Colorado and had to share some pictures from location. Needless to say, we love our jobs.
