A new Kickstarter campaign has been launched for The Radius Project, which was born out of a simple question: "So which famous people would I know from your hometown?" The hometown in question is Peterborough and the answer was endless. Directed by music photographer and director Michael Hurcomb and produced by Mexican Cheesus—the team behind the hit web music video series Bandwagon—the Radius Project looks at the wealth of musicians that came from the radius around a small town and went on to national and international acclaim. A short list of people that grew up or relocated to the area are Neil Young, Thousand Foot Crutch, Royal Wood, Three Days Grace, My Darkest Days, Cale Gontier (Art of Dying / Thornley), I Mother Earth, Greg Keelor, Ronnie Hawkins, The Leahys (and Natalie McMaster), producers Greg and Rob Wells, Sebastian Bach and Serena Ryder.

The doc will feature one on one interviews with some of these artists about their experiences here, a look into how a small city and the surrounding towns created so many acclaimed artists, interviews with outsiders looking at what makes a music scene work, a history of the music scene, interviews with some local legends, and a look at the future.

The end result of the project will be to showcase this music scene to the world and tell an untold story to the residents too.

The Radius Project team wants to make this documentary look and sound as great as possible. They want to use the high quality gear they have, rent some external gear, have an essential and talented shooting team, and travel when necessary for interviews.

The Radius Project is currently in production with plans to showcase the documentary at film festivals in 2016. The film is slated to premiere and be available by digital download early 2016.
