Kara Lynn Joyce: Blood, Ink and the Olympic Rings

The video above with 3-time Olympic Swimmer Kara Lynn Joyce was produced by filmmakers Christo Brock and Grant Barbeito, and it is a reminder that their Touch The Wall Kickstarter campaign is still rolling.

So far they have 308 backers and they’ve raised $34,476, however, with 28 days to go they need to meet their $110,000 goal.  

At SwimSwam, we’ve rubbed shoulders with Christo and Grant  on the road at every major swim meet. While they’re veteran pros at their craft, they’ve also become emotionally invested in swimming. They love the sport. With 400 hours of footage captured profiling 2012 Olympic swim stars Missy Franklin and Kara Lynn Joyce,  and Olympic Coaches Todd Schmitz (Colorado Stars) and David Marsh (SwimMAC)  they have the best possible story, but the expense of editing in post production is enormous. The $110,000 goal is crucial to deliver the narrative.

Go to their Touch The Wall Kickstarter page and donate now. You can be a part of making this great film about two of swimming’s biggest stars. 

Missy Franklin did get her Olympic Rings Tattoo. See it here.
