The movie will star the aforementioned rockers, along with and Ministry’s Al Jourgensen and Sin Quirin, Pixies guitarist Joey Santiago and former T.S.O.L.drummer Tiny Biuso.

Perks for contributors to the project include various pieces of autographed merchandise, VIP tickets and personal experiences with the rockers featured in the film.

Among the incentives are a DVD and a guitar strap signed by Elliott and the chance to build a custom Fender guitar with Ojeda.

A portion of the campaign’s proceeds will be donated to the Fender Music Foundation, which provides instruments to music education programs.

The Bridge campaign has a goal of $300,000, and is scheduled to close on January 1.

That initiative will close this Tuesday, December 2.
