He is a wild character. Noah is better suited as character living within the pages of a Chuck Palahniuk or Carl Hiassen novel than he is drifting in and out of “normal” people’s lives on his perpetual countrywide journey. My Caddy Won’t Let Me is an examination of the unseen, misunderstood life of independent touring musicians. The bizarre and sometimes volatile situations that present themselves while on tour, and the incredible personalities and unlikely friendships that develop along the way.

Oh, and we’ll be exploring these things as we travel the west coast in a classic, 1978 Cadillac this August (2010).

The film is coming together, and the tour is being finalized, but we need YOUR help to really make it happen! Currently I am running a pledge campaign through Kickstarter.com in an effort to raise the necessary $4,500 to take this film from unique promotional curiosity, to the cinematic, film-festival touring mind bender it is destined to be!

Make your pledge through Kickstarter.com and get all sorts of cool stuff in return. Depending on your pledge amount, we will give you:

• Autographed film posters
• Up to three Noah Engh albums
• Autographed guitar slides
• Original illustrations by Noah Engh
• Digital download of the finished film
• Associate or Executive Producer credits
• The ACTUAL Cadillac used for the film, delivered to your door, anywhere in the Lower 48

Thanks for your help! Check out the project page on Kickstarter for more information, updates, and to make your much appreciated pledges!

The film is currently in pre-production. Shooting is expected to commence in April, continuing through the summer of 2010 at various locations in both the Phoenix, Arizona and Los Angeles, California areas.

The film was written by yours truly (David Urbanic), and will star the cream of the Los Angeles comedy crop, Barbara King, Richard Feliciano, and Amy Vorpahl. Furthermore, the film is being produced, aside from myself, by revered Hollywood stalwart, Victor Pancerev (Tupac Shakur, “I Get Around”; “The Great White Hype”). Custom props are currently being fabricated by renowned, London, England based industrial-design wizard, Matt Jackson.

Although a short-film, by definition, even the shortest of films owe their success to significant monetary and other donations from a wide array of people. Currently I am seeking both the monetary and physical (prop) donations that are necessary to make this film a critical–if not financial–success.

I need snow globes of all types and qualities, used aquariums and aquarium cleaning supplies, and as much pool cleaning equipment as possible! Monetary donations are most valued, of course. Monetary donations of $150 or more will be rewarded with a screen credit and a series of items upon completion of the film (for example, but not limited to DVD copies, t-shirts, stickers and stickers).

The official website for the film should be launched soon, where you will be able to find more information, art, and periodic updates on the production of The Beauty, the Adonis, and the Earthquake.
