Unstoppable Film Project Despite Lack of Funding


California and New York get it. Tuscaloosa apparently won’t.

Local partners in the “Song of Kwagala” film project, disappointed in a lack of support locally, have met with filmmakers, financiers and others on both coasts who are lining up in ways the hometown didn’t, or hasn’t.

Although the idea is to keep the campaign independent, some filmmakers and charity-minded folk have signed on to the script and its goal: raising awareness and funding for the need to create clean-water systems throughout the world. Some big supporters include actress Alison Eastwood, Clint’s daughter; Giselle Fernandez, formerly of Access Hollywood; Eden Alpert, musician Herb Alpert’s daughter; Marc Joubert, Matt Damon’s producing partner and right hand in charitable groups such as the H20 Africa Foundation; and Enrique Bañuelos, a Spanish businessman and entrepreneur listed in Forbes’ World Billionaires ranking who wants to bring the “Kwagala” energy into his $6 billion Barcelona World theme-park project.
