An integral part of our funding plan is to approach documentary
funding bodies and broadcasters for financial assistance in shooting
and creating this film - and it is something we are currently
pursuing. However, it is also important to us that we retain
creative control of the project and we begin filming it
as soon as possible.
We would like to thank all those who donated to Stage 2 of
our Fundraising drive - with your support we were able to travel
to the UK to film interviews with Sir Roger Bannister and Sir
Chris Chataway as well as Ulick O'Connor, and travel to Vienna
to interview members of the Stampfl family. We are so grateful
and humbled by your support.
With your continued help we can move onto
planning and booking the next leg of filming this time-critical
project - interviewing all the Australian interviewees around
the country, including John Landy, Ron Clarke, Ralph Doubell,
Herb Elliot and Kevan Gosper, amongst many others.
Therefore, we would like to invite you to come on board as
a supporter of this landmark documentary “A Life Unexpected:
The Story of Franz Stampfl” by contributing to our ongoing
funding by making a fully tax deductible donation (for
Australian donors) to the Australia
Cultural Fund (ACF), operated by the Australia Business Arts
Foundation (AbaF), who have registered this project as being
eligible to receive donations through the Fund. Australian donors
who wish to go straight to our profile on the AbaF Australia
Cultural Fund website and donate online, may click here.
Foundations and Corporate & Private Trusts are
invited to make a donation via the Documentary Australia Foundation,
as a grant, who enable Foundations to make DGR approved grants to approved documentaries, of which we are one.
International Donors are
invited to make a donation via Paypal, using their credit card,
as a grant, which is not eligible for a tax deduction, however
...
All contributions of any amount will be gratefully received
and all donors will be thanked in the film's credits - acknowledged
as making this project possible.

Stage 1 & 2 complete - onto Stage 3!
We would like to thank all those who donated to Stage 2 of
our Fundraising drive - with your help we were able to travel
to the UK to film interviews with Sir Roger Bannister and Sir
Chris Chataway as well as Ulick O'Connor, and travel to Vienna
to interview members of the Stampfl family. You can read about
our travels and filming on the official blog here.
We are so grateful and humbled by your support.
We are now moving onto the next phase of our fundraising campaign
- Stage 3 - which is raising money for the second production
phase - the Australian filming.
All members of the team are currently donating their time
to the project to ensure we are ready to move into production
when we reach our next fundraising goal of $40,000 by June 28th,
2012 - which will enable our Director, Sally McLean and DOP Tim
Egan with the production team to begin in Melbourne, then travel
up the East Coast of Australia to Sydney, Gold Coast, Brisbane
and Adelaide to film interviews with prominent Australian sports,
arts and business figures who knew Franz.
All monies raised during Stage 3 of fundraising will go towards
this next phase of production, and all donations given via the
AbaF and Paypal go towards these costs - no matter what the size
of the contribution.
We look forward to your support.
