Home in Maces Springs
Hi!
Principle photography for The Winding Stream is done. One of our last shoots was in Maces Springs, Virginia at the home that once belonged to Maybelle and Ezra Carter. It was there that we interviewed John Carter Cash and his wife Laura as they filled in some of the family history for us in this beautiful, atmospheric dwelling that people refer to as “The Homeplace.” Here’s a little explanation of its history:
Speaking of the Carters’ Homeplace, we hope to re-create a little bit of the flavor of Maces Springs here in Portland at our Carter Family Fold, PNW-Style party on Friday night, June 8 at ADX from 7 – 10 PM. The suggested donation to our Kickstarter campaign is $10 but any pledge is welcome. We’ll have laptops on site so you can make your online pledge at the door.
ADX is at 417 SE 11th Avenue in Portland. We’ll have beer courtesy of Widmer Brothers, food plus music by Counterfeit Cash from 7:30 – 8:30. After that, it’s a pickin’ party! So bring your instruments and voices and let’s make some music!
Cliff-Hangers and Nail-Biters
I’m sure by now you’ve heard that Kickstarter is an all or nothing proposition. If we don’t make our goal, we don’t get any of the money that’s been pledged. And the rewards are only distributed if the campaign is successful.
Kickstarter campaigns are well known for starting off strong, tapering off in the middle and then springing back to life toward the end. They often make for heart-stopping cliff-hangers for those involved.
I’m hoping you’ll take pity on me, my team and all the other supporters of this film and pledge now! Please don’t turn this into a nail-biter, our hearts can’t take it!
As of this mailing, we have only 20 days left in our campaign and a pretty long way to go ‘til our goal. We’re 1/3 of the way there, which means we need to raise $34,000 in three weeks. This is entirely do-able because we’ve heard from you and we know there’s lots of interest in helping out there. But the pledges need to happen now, as momentum is an important part of this process!
We’ve definitely developed a sense of urgency here at Winding Stream headquarters, and we need your help!
$10 x 3400 music-lovers = A Successful Winding Stream Kickstarter Campaign!
The math isn’t all that daunting. If 3400 people donated $10 each today, we’d be at our goal.
That’s not unreasonable to expect. Our network is wide and we know how powerful social media and internet communication is. If everyone reading this reached out to just a few friends today who’d pledge $10 we’d be there.
Can you help us? We know many of you have already pledged. But could you reach out to a handful of your music-loving friends and directly ask them to pledge $10?

An Evening with Rosanne and Tara Cash
Many people have expressed interest in attending the Rosanne and Tara Cash reception in Portland on August 27. If you haven’t done so yet, you’ve got less than 3 weeks left to make that pledge! A $150 Kickstarter pledge reserves you a seat at an intimate gathering featuring conversation with the Cash sisters, food, drinks, stories and special film clips. Hope you’ll join us.
Thanks to all of you for your interest and support!
