Suggestion: Look for corporate donations to rent lights. Temporary event
lighting is widely available. Corporate donations from outfits like Boeing,
Rolls Royce (I have found donations from them easily available) as well as
other corporations whose interests border on aviation sport events (Red
Bull?) are a real source of support. Worrying about the expense of running
an event is a colassal mistake when there's so much money begging to help -
they can't offer the $ up front, they need YOU to ask.
Plus, when Float appears as a completed documentary, indoor is going to
experience a dynamic change. Are you ready for it? It's obviously not going
to be Aquaman, but it will change indoor.
