Who hasn't heard of the mutiny on the Bounty? We all know it from the movies, from the books and plays- but what is most amazing is that this 18th century story isn't romantic fiction- it actually happened! In 1789, Fletcher Christian put Captain Bligh overboard and took the ship...
Everyone knows the story...or do they?
Was Fletcher Christian a pirate or a hero? Was Captain Bligh the cruel tyrant everyone remembers him to be? Who were the Tahitians who sailed away with the Bounty? Who was Maimiti- and was that even her real name? How long did it take to sail halfway across the world? Where is Pitcairn Island?
Our short film of 30-40 minutes will be a comprehensive guide to the Mutiny on the Bounty. It will answer the questions of who, what, where and when. It will separate fact from myth, history from fiction, and talk about the unsolved mysteries of the Bounty.
In addition to telling the story of the mutiny, we will also document the First International Bounty Festival in Papeete in October 2013, and take a look at the upcoming construction of a brand new replica of the original ship.
Our international crew all have a special place for the Bounty story in their hearts and are committed to doing it justice.
The people volunteering and contributing to this project are too many to list, so let us tell you about the core crew:
From Tahiti we have Beni Huber, member of the Junior Economic Chamber of Tahiti and head of the Bounty Tahiti Project, where the idea for a festival and reconstruction of the ship first originated. Beni is working hard to find sponsors for our documentary!
From Denmark, we have Simon Quintal. He is a Danish/Australian filmmaker currently working in corporate film. His passion for the story of the Bounty comes from being a direct descendant of mutineer Matthew Quintal. A graduate from Griffith University, his Master Thesis was a film and rapport on the subject of personal documentaries.
From Poland, we have Madzia Bryll. She spent six months working as a deckhand on the tragically lost HMS Bounty replica. She is a graduate of the Polish National Film School, and the subject of her Master's Thesis was a comparative analysis of the Bounty films vs. historical fact. She can't think of anything else she'd rather make a film about!
From Germany, we have Christoph Noack. He is a CG artist working on an accurate 3-D computer model of the original ship, based on historical Bounty blueprints. His animations will be used in our film to help the viewers visualise the ship as she was in the 1700s.
The entire project is coordinated by the Bounty Tahiti organisation based in Papeete, Tahiti. They are also the proponents and organisers of the reconstruction of the ship, as well the first Bounty Festival.
