Following a growing trend among independent artists, former Austinite Jay Duplass has taken to Kickstarter.com to raise funds for his documentary, Kevin. The film follows the plight of 90s-era Austin singer-songwriter Kevin Gant, a regular fixture on the scene in Austin over a decade ago, as the musician attempts to rekindle his passion for music.
In the video below, Duplass explains how he used to be a regular at Gant shows before the enigmatic musician suddenly disappeared from the scene. Duplass says the funds he is attempting to raise will help with final post-production of the movie, which made its world premiere at SXSW earlier this year. Duplass will in turn take the film to festivals around the world with Gant in tow, effectively offering the Flamenco-inspired guitar player an international comeback tour.
