Opening Night Film: HOW TO GROW A BAND

We are pleased to announce that HOW TO GROW A BAND, Mark Meatto’s acclaimed documentary about Punch Brothers’ early days will screen opening night Wed, July 17th on the Catskill stage. The film is a New York Magazine Critics’ Pick, and Paste Magazine called it “Masterful Filmmaking…One of the Top 10 Music Documentaries of 2012″.

Right now on Kickstarter, the filmmakers are crowd-funding a limited-edition, two-disc set loaded with bonus features, outtakes and performances that won’t be available anywhere else. In addition to these deluxe DVD and BluRay sets, there are other fun rewards for backers — like posters, t-shirts, private screenings and more.

Between now and 12 noon EST on Friday May 17, friends of Grey Fox will receive a bonus HOW TO GROW A BAND instrument case sticker when they pledge $30 or more. Once you’ve made your pledge on Kickstarter, just click “Contact Me” under Mark Meatto’s picture on the project homepage and enter “GFX” in the message body. If the campaign reaches its goal and all goes well, your DVD will be waiting for you at the Grey Fox merch tent during the festival, and your other rewards will be sent by mail to you.

For those who might be new to it, Kickstarter is a place where creators of all kinds set a funding goal and deadline. If people like their project, they can pledge money to make it happen. Funding on Kickstarter is all-or-nothing — projects must reach their funding goals to receive any money.

There’s only 7 days left to back this fabulous project. Let’s help get these DVDs made!
