DETROIT, MI - Creators of a 2009 documentary called "It Came From Detroit" seek help online to get the film about local garage rockers like The White Stripes, The Von Bondies, The Detroit Cobras and The Electric Six out on DVD.
James R. Petix, the film's director, and producer Sara Babila launched a Kickstarter fundraising campaign that runs until July 4. It's aimed to "secure all off the rights to the more than 40 songs" and numerous television clips that are used in the film.
As of 9:30 a.m. Monday, the Kickstarter "It Came From Detroit" campaign had reached $7,972 of its $15,000 goal. There were 203 backers who pledged that amount; the minimum pledge is $1. The project will only be funded if at least $15,000 is pledged by 1:12 a.m. July 4.
You can watch the Kickstarter campaign video and film's trailer at the end of this post.

A brief synopsis of the film from the Kickstarter website:
"'It Came From Detroit' is the ultimate inside look at the Motor City's internationally renowned "garage rock" scene. Nearly a decade in the making, this feature documentary chronicles the action both before and after the White Stripes rose to fame and brought an international spotlight on the scene."
