Our primary goal of

- Equipment Rental & Logistics: High-quality 4K cameras, audio recording gear for pristine sound, and transportation for the team around Kathmandu.
- Permits & Location Fees: Securing the permissions needed to film respectfully at the sacred Boudha Stupa and other locations.
- Post-Production (25%): This is where the raw footage becomes a film. Costs include:
- Professional Video Editing, color grading, and sound design to create a cinematic experience.
- Motion Graphics & Subtitles for interviews with our Nepali collaborators.
- Album Production & Musician Collaboration (20%): The heart of the project! This budget ensures we can:
- Travel expenses for all the incredible musicians .
