Fierce Panda announces anniversary film, Pledge campaign
By Chris Cooke | Published on Thursday 21 March 2013
Fierce Panda has announced an alliance with Document Films and PledgeMusic to create a movie documenting the history of the respected discovery label, with plans to release the documentary next February as part of the record company’s twentieth anniversary celebrations. A soundtrack album featuring highlights from the Fierce Panda catalogue and a spin-off book are also planned.
The venture will be partly funded by pre-orders for the soundtrack, movie (on DVD) and other related goodies, which are now being offered on PledgeMusic, the popular fan-funding-come-pre-order platform that Fierce Panda has worked with in the past on artist-specific projects.
Introducing the campaign, Fierce Panda founder Simon Williams writes: “We’re pleased, and not a little amazed, to announce that we are making a big grown-up film to celebrate turning 20 years old, and that film is going to be called ‘Endangered: The Story Of Fierce Panda Records’. Now what we want is for you, the people of the Pledge musical universe, to become part of that film-making process by pre-ordering our film on download or DVD or by pledging your hard-earned cash on all manner of ‘Endangered:’-themed products such as t-shirts, tote bags and the all important soundtrack album”.
