Our Bombs

Project Overview

The Our Bombs project is made up of two components: a feature-length documentary that is still in production, and a media-rich website that launched in April 2009. Neil Halloran began working on the project in 2005, and both the film and website are being produced through his company Climbing Tree Productions, located in Austin, Texas.

Provide Financial Support

Our Bombs is an independently funded project and is in need of financial support to help produce the documentary. We are currently running an online fundraising drive through July 1st. The funds will be used to acquire news footage used in the documentary and air strike tracker . Fees associated with footage rights and acquisition are a common hurdle for independent filmmakers looking to give a perspective on current events and news coverage. Please help us reach our goal of $5000.
