Support THE SMART STUDIOS STORY Kickstarter Campaign

KICK_Title Slide)SS Story w flag bkgrdMadison-based filmmaker Wendy Schneider has been working on an interesting documentary project: The Smart Studios Story. For the younger whipper-snappers out there, Smart Studios was a recording facility in Madison founded in 1982 by Butch Vig and Steve Marker, who went on to produce Nirvana’s Nevermind in 1991. Schneider’s efforts have earned her coverage in The Capital Times and Madison Magazine, and she has recently released a trailer based on her progress so far.

Like many independently produced documentaries, however, Schneider could use some help in the late stages of the project. She has started a 30-day Kickstarter campaign, so if you want to see this important institution in Madison’s music history documented for the ages, please consider helping her out.

Update: You can also read more about the project in the March 7, 2014 issue of Isthmus, or online at The Daily Page.
