Blue Like Jazz

Blue Like Jazz (2012)

Don, uno studente diciannovenne di un college, è stanco dell'educazione religiosa ricevuta, ritenuta da lui troppo rigida e moraleggiante. Per sfuggire ai comandamenti della Bibbia, così come sono intesi da tutti coloro che lo circondano, Don si trasferisce nel più grande campus "senza Dio" nel nord ovest degli Stati Uniti, sulla costa del Pacifico, affrontando un percorso di maturazione che gli permetterà di darsi personalissime risposte sulla fede e sulla natura di Dio.

Blue Like Jazz is a 2012 American comedy-drama film directed by Steve Taylor and starring Marshall Allman, Claire Holt, and Tania Raymonde. It is based on Donald Miller's autobiographical book of the same name. Miller, Taylor, and Ben Pearson co-wrote the screenplay.

Production

Steve Taylor pitched the film to investors for four years until two investors, one from Seattle and one from Los Angeles, agreed to sign on for $250,000 each. The day before pre-production, the Los Angeles investor backed out and the film was scratched.

According to Yancey Strickler, one of the founders of Kickstarter, only six films had ever raised more than $100,000 through the website as of May 2011. Taylor didn't believe that this fundraising effort would work, so he agreed to personally call and thank every donator of more than $10 if they met the target goal of $125,000. By October 2010, $345,992 had been donated through the website towards the film.

By May 2011, Taylor had personally called and thanked half of the 3,300 people who donated more than $10 through Kickstarter. He had called the remainder by April 2012. Blue Like Jazz: The Movie was the second most successful Kickstarter fundraiser in 2010.

Miller's 2009 book A Million Miles in a Thousand Years is based on his experience of revising his memoir into the screenplay for this film.

Filming took place in Nashville, Tennessee and Portland, Oregon.
