Damo Suzuki film crowdfunding campaign launched
By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 2 May 2018
A crowdfunding campaign has been launched in a bid to finance the production of a documentary about former Can frontman Damo Suzuki, titled ‘Energy’.
Directed by Michelle Heighway, the film follows Suzuki as a 2014 diagnosis of colon cancer temporarily halts his famously relentless touring schedule. From there, it looks at the past, present and future of his career.
“The themes here are music, creativity, human resilience, the mind and the ability to focus, outsider and new age thinking, art and independence”, says Heighway. “This documentary is wonderful story of hope and survival”.
She goes on: “It’s a personal portrait of the life and times of a nomad, poet and enigmatic singer on his very inspiring journey. This has been a really compelling experience that has changed me on so many levels; and I feel this will transfer to the audience”.
