To find out more about investing in Spaghetti Western

It's time to break the mold on how films are made. Welcome to the first film ever to be funded by women angel investors.

Yes, that's right, the first.

Women investors are scarce in media, and in the wider film and television industry men dominate as gatekeepers to our collective imagination; the power structure is such that women are still having to ask permission to tell the stories they want to tell...until Spaghetti Western.

Spaghetti Western is a food adventure comedy set in the Wild West - welcome to the unbridled female imagination. We gathered a group of incredible women angels who invested in development and partnered with leading women in the industry. Now, we need you.

She who holds the purse strings controls the storytelling. We are ready to film and are aiming to do the VERY possible: the first film ever to be funded entirely by female angel investment. It just takes 100 women to radically change the way our stories are made...and there are all kinds of ways to invest including, knowledge, connecting us to networks and supporting visibility. All of which is critical and appreciated.

Our story deck, financial pitch, behind-the-scenes videos featuring the development soundtrack and more information are available upon request.

We look forward to hearing from you. Wagons' ho!

Rhiannon Giddens
Executive Producer, Musical Director, Band Leader

Rhiannon Giddens has made a singular, iconic career out of stretching her brand of folk music, with its miles-deep historical roots and contemporary sensibilities, into just about every field imaginable. A two-time GRAMMY Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning singer and instrumentalist, MacArthur “Genius” grant recipient, and composer of opera, ballet, and film, Giddens has centered her work around the mission of lifting up people whose contributions to American musical history have previously been overlooked or erased, and advocating for a more accurate understanding of the country’s musical origins through art. As Pitchfork once said, “few artists are so fearless and so ravenous in their exploration”—a journey that has led to NPR naming her one of its 25 Most Influential Women Musicians of the 21st Century and to American Songwriter calling her “one of the most important musical minds currently walking the planet.”
