Here's a preview of the forthcoming documentary, The Donn of Tiki, an in-depth look at the life of Ernest Raymond Beaumont Gantt aka Don the Beachcomber aka Donn Beach. The film is being produced by a couple of friends of mine, Alex Lamb and Max Well. They have shot some interviews and have gotten their hand on a lot of rare materials, including extensive audio interviews of Donn himself. Right now they are raising some money on Kickstarter to turn the film into a reality. Please take a look at their Kickstarter and support them however you can. There are some great rewards on there, but moreover, you're going to want to help get this film made. Cheers!
