Campaign story
Why this matters
Steel Lullaby is shot across two heritage sites with union cooperation. We are recording vocals live on location with isolation booths built into shipping containers—mad, but the acoustic is unreal.
The story
Financing covers instrument hire, child actor tutor hours, intimacy coordination for family scenes, and a dedicated safety officer for industrial environments. We plan a dual release: a festival cut at 18 minutes and a broadcast-safe 14-minute version for public television outreach.
