hey guys!

No spamming here, I hope that this is the right area for this, please move if it isnt.

I´ve produced/directed the music-documentary "Welcome To The Machine" for the last 2 1/2 years on my own, with no filmfundings from the government, or sponsors, or anything , simply independent.
Therefore I started a crowdfunding Campaign now to finish the movie:

The music-documentary is searching for nothing less than the “Secret of Success” in the music business.
If you like it, you can easily contribute and support this interesting project!

If you have any questions about this movie, feel free to ask!, ;-)

thx and greets!




What Is The Movie About?
Is there a set path to glory? Or does it all come down to luck and coincidence, charisma and talent?
The 12 Commandments of music business brought together in one film. The secret of success, the purpose of music awards, the whole truth about recording contracts and nine other monstrosities. “Welcome to the Machine” is not just a rockumentary, but also uncovers the whole truth! Lots of stars, experts and professionals tell the truth and only the truth about this machinery. 

The music-documentary “Welcome To The Machine” is searching for the  “Secret of Success” in the music business. 
In other words its about band formation, artist imagery and promotional work, to the big festival gigs, casting shows, music media, the right image, promotion, the relevance of charts and finally a major record deal. 
The only question that remains is how to do it the right way. Is there a secret recipe for success? How did the established bands make it to where they are, and how on earth does one get a record deal?
First gigs with no audience, tricks and traps of the press, the boring routine of touring, which isn’t as exciting as one had imagined it to be. And many more questions.
The documentary „Welcome to the Machine“ tries to give answers to all these questions. 
Not always dead serious, but most definitely pitiless - after all it’s just about this one big question: Is there one right way to Fame?
