A trio of recent Heritage Woods secondary school grads is a third of the way towards its fundraising goal to make a documentary on B.C.'s melting glaciers.
Kyler Dickey, Pierce Kinch and Ethan Volberg, all Port Moody residents, have raised almost $8,000 via the crowdfunding site indiegogo.com towards the cost of traveling and filming stories about how communities are affected by the retreat of the province's majestic glaciers.
Another $14,000 is needed to help the MELT film project go from idea to reality. Funds raised would go to the project in the following ways: approximately 28% will pay for travel, 32% for production and 25% for post-production while 14% will go towards distribution.
"We ultimately want to inspire everyone in B.C. to take action against climate change and we believe we can do just that, through our film MELT," the group states on its Indiegogo site.
