Mischa Hedges is Michael’s eldest child. He grew up exploring the forests, rivers and ocean beaches on the Mendocino Coast, playing music with his mom, dad and siblings, and roaming the vegetable garden and redwood forest in their backyard.
Mischa is an award-winning documentary producer, director and editor (Seeker of Truth, Of The Sea, Women’s March). He holds a B.A. in Film Production from Chapman University’s Dodge College of Film, and an MBA from Dominican University. He is the founder of TrimTab Media, where he leads the production of independent films and video content for progressive brands and non-profit organizations. He is currently collaborating with his uncle, screenwriter Brendan Hedges on a documentary about guitarist Michael Hedges.
Over the past 10 months, we have been hard at work writing, developing and filming early interviews for the upcoming documentary ORACLE: the life & music of Michael Hedges.
Over the past 10 months, we’ve accomplished a lot:
- Raised funding for development work from 30+ early sponsors & supporters
- Formed a team of project advisors to help guide our creative process
- Held several writing retreats to outline our vision for the film
- Interviewed David Crosby & filmed 3 days with the U.S. Guitar Orchestra
- Created a sponsor pitch deck and fundraising trailer for the film
- Researched and wrote a 120-page documentary screenplay
- Secured interview commitments from Michael’s friends & collaborators
- Researched and scouted locations for production
Crowdfunding Campaign March 6 – April 5
On March 6, 2023, we launched a 30-day crowdfunding campaign on Seed&Spark to raise our production budget for the film! We’re hoping to reach as many of Michael’s fans as possible so that they can participate in funding this film. Your support and sharing during this campaign will be crucial in helping us reach our fundraising goal and continue work on this project. The more we can raise, the sooner we can finish and release the film!
Be the first to see our detailed plans for the film, watch the fundraising trailer, and see the incentive packages we’re offering for supporters. In short – you’ll get the first chance to become a crowdfunding supporter of the project!
