Thank you for being here and taking the time to read this.
I am still working on finding a distribution deal for the film in order to secure commercial rights for all the artwork.
However, unfortunately there's always a chance this doesn't happen.
If so, then by May/June 2018, I would like the opportunity to release the film online for free,
so that it can be accessible to interested audiences around the world.
For this, I need your permission.
Below is the current updated list of the artwork in the film for which I have been able to secure this permission.
I hope that you will allow me to add your artwork to the list.
Every work of art and architecture in this film is essential, connecting the 5 cities and forming recurring visual themes.
I will be building a section on the website where the artwork will be elegantly presented, with links to their artist's website/galleries.
The reaction I've had from those who've seen the film leads me to believe it is worth sharing with the world.
So if distributors don't make it happen, I hope at the end of the day, with your permission, I can.
Feel free to contact me at any time if you have any questions or requests. Thank you,
Olivier Wright
