Help us support !! The Venice Heritage Museum just launched a community-led campaign on Indiegogo to help fund the FIRST-EVER museum for Venice! GPIX & Colin Keith Gray produced the video, with lots of cools stills from the larger Venice community + additional footage shot by the Unzipped team, brilliant editing from Davide Fiore and kick-ass music tracks from local artists H***y Toad and Ken Elkinson.

Why build a museum? For far too long, Venice has gone without a space to preserve and celebrate the generations of creativity, diversity, and personal expression that our city is known for around the world. In this time of rapid change, the people, stories, and events that have made Venice, California a global destination are at risk of being forgotten. The Venice Heritage Museum campus will be a community hub to share all of Venice’s history, while bringing the community and visitors together in the present through exhibitions, events, live music, and more.

Check out the full video + Indiegogo campaign info here: www.tinyurl.com/veniceheritage and grab one of the Venice art, swag, and museum campus naming opportunities available to help us uphold Venice’s diverse culture now and for generations to come.

The city's first-ever museum to preserve, showcase, and celebrate Venice, CA’s historical legacy. | Check out 'We're Building A Museum For Venice!' on Indiegogo.

LA Family & Friends!! Please join us for a very special fundraiser for our new documentary film - ‘90291: VENICE UNZIPPED’, a provocative look at income inequality in America, told through the lens of one community and three families living in the same 90291 zip code, but at the opposite ends of the growing income divide.

Is Venice a cautionary tale about an eclectic community’s demise, or can solutions be found for protecting other income diverse cities across the United States? Come join us and be part of the discussion of this timely & important issue.

Brought to you by long time Venice locals - writer / director Colin Keith Gray and producer Megan Raney Aarons (AKA “The Sibs” - Atari: Game Over, Being Canadian, Freedom’s Fury); journalist / co-producer CJ Gronner (Blogtown); political consultant / co-producer, Marc Baranov; EPs Amaechi Uzoigwe (Run The Jewels) and Lorien Gabel (Interlog, PINGG); Supervising Producers Matt Green (Refuge Wild) & Andrea McHugh (Hell’s Kitchen, Oprah Winfrey Show, Ghost Hunters); Emmy award winning editor Mohamed El Manasterly (The Square); DP Tyler Heckerman (The Cape); and Emmy award winning VR director, Ben Tricklebank (Clouds Over Cuba).
