Jane Bell - Where Ya Been? The Odyssey and Elegy of Luke Bell

Back the film on Kickstarter at www.kickstarter.com/projects/...
Luke Bell was a gifted singer/songwriter, signed to Thirty Tigers, who went from a Wyoming ranch hand to bonafide country music prodigy; opening for some of the most legendary figures in country music including: Willie Nelson, Dwight Yoakam, Hank Williams Jr.
In 2016 he released his self-titled LP that gained international acclaim and the world seemed at his doorstep.
Soon after, he mysteriously disappeared from public life and live performances became increasingly rare. From the outside, no one seemed to know just what the hell had happened to Luke Bell.
On August 26th, 2022, he was found dead in Tucson, Arizona from a Fentanyl overdose after disappearing for 4 days.
"He was one of the most authentic and magnetizing artists to grace the country music art form in the modern era"
- Saving Country Music
According to Rolling Stone, Bell "(Luke played) classic honky-tonk with a wink and a yodel that summons the sleeping ghosts of country better than any voodoo spell ever could"
Our goal is simply to tell a great story. Truthful, and honest - looking through Luke's eyes and retracing his journey to see where he had been. This film will weave a holistic narrative from the broken fragments left behind by Luke's journey, his writing and his music.
Everyone who knew and loved Luke experienced a different side of him, and we aim to bring them all together in a reverent manner.
The film will be a celebration of country music and American folklore, as well as a moment of reflection for those who face mental illness struggles.
Thus far, we have filmed in and around his home state of Wyoming, Tucson AZ, Austin TX, and Nashville TN.
We are raising funds to help with additional travel and production costs, music licensing fees, media and other production expenses.
