There is a strange and inherent magic in the notion of toys,
no matter where they come from, to whom they belong or what price tag they
might once carried. A new mixture of a documentary and an animated feature
desires to explore the idea of toys and how they made an impact on a man who
produces them.
This film is called the The Toymaker and it's currently in the
final stretch of its crowdfunding. Here's how the movie presents itself on its
official IndieGoGo page:
THE TOYMAKER is a full-length film that mixes documentary,
fiction and animation. It's about the life of the musician, collector and
awarded Venezuelan toymaker Mario Calderón. THE TOYMAKER is a true story, told
by Mario and his toys. It is a travel back to childhood and memory, a mix of
Toy Story and Buena Vista Social Club. THE TOYMAKER is a story about the
importance of keeping alive our inner child.
The footage of the film looks really polished and the idea
behind the film is rock-solid for a whimsical piece like this one. Currently,
the crowdfunding attained slightly over 20% of its target with two days to go.
Even though the project will likely not hit its target, this is a flexible campaign
and the Toymaker deserves to happen.
