If you are reading this you probably are a very good friend or considered family and understand my passion for life, community, food, distilling and the ocean. Some will tell you they find it inspiring, but at the end of the day “I’m just Paul”.
Award winning film makers Cassidy and Odin want to tell my story in
a cinematic way to accomplish 2 main things, inspire others and
provide help where it’s really needed in communities for kids and
families in Key West and the Florida Keys. This will be done by doing
a documentary called “The Salt Cured Life” which will play at film
festivals all over the United States as well as Europe. Each venue it
will raise money for the “under dog” local charity I like to call it.
I have no ego, this is way bigger than me, but I have a big heart and
my dream is to express this life that a lot of you already live that’s
why we know each other.
The goal is that this is shown at film
festivals and is used to raise money for kids and families that are in
need in Key West and the Florida keys. A lot of these groups are not
the “popular” ones to donate to and really need help for what they do
which is amazing.
You may be asking “ Paul why not fund this yourself?” The simple
answer is I don’t want to take away from donation commitments we have
already made for 2024 for to help many different charities. This film
could help increase what could be raised for 2024 and 2025 and beyond.
If you would like to contribute more than what we ask please do so, we
want to keep this to a close knit family and something we will ALL be
proud of!
So, what’s in it for you? RUM of course! I will release a special barrel that is my personal barrel from when I started Key West legal Rum 10 years ago that’s a one off and I consider extremely rare! Is this tax deductible? No, but the Rum is very drinkable or will make a great investment to sell later if you so choose.
Film goals from the directors:
”The goal of this story is to connect the audience to
all the
elements that are “The Salt Cured Life”
.From the sea to the
still, take a journey into a day in
the life of Key West’s very
own local legend Paul
Menta. Learn that there are no limits to
what you
can do if you dream big and go for it.”
Why the filming style is so unique:
Storytelling
through a
cinematic perspective
The goal
is that we are able to
bring to life all of the
senses
through also using impactful
visual storytelling
through lighting
and great film equipment and sound design.
At the end of the day we all make a difference in our own way and I hope you will be in the small group to join me on this to express something to the world on screen that you have already been a part of.
“Salt Cured Life” a journey to share with the world and make a difference.
With great humility, Love and thanks
Paul Menta
