in 1912, the Meltzers came to America. Shortly afterwards, events would force six children to come together, unite and combine efforts to support each other and still grow up at the same time.
By 1929, A.L. Meltzer had had enough when events at his employer were more than he could bear and so he left and opened his own store, Evans Furs at State & Lake in Chicago.
Instantly successful as other such depression-era entrepreneurs managed to be, what lurked underneath inside the Meltzer family tree would begin to rear its ugly head and over the next 70 years, the Metlzers, Evans Furs and the meaning of family would all be challenged.
This is the tale of a family, trying to disguise itself wrapped in the cloak of a once-great business empire.
We are trying to raise funds to produce the documentary professionally as opposed to zoom/cell phone production. This is an important story about depression in personal, family and professional life that needs to be told.
Perks
We will hold a special preview screening with Director, narrator, composer and interviewees panel post-screening, JUST for contributors over $500.
Also, you will be issued an Executive Producer credit on the film in the end credits.
