Welcome to Rare Brain podcast #1! Rare Brain Studios’ Aaron Rice and Chris Thomas, the director and producer of the Lance’s Brewery Tour documentary, discuss how a four week shoot became a three year film, failure and success, crowdfunding on Kickstarter and Indiegogo and the power of storytelling through movies. After launching a project called Lance’s Brewery Tour – a documentary film about beer historian with autism Lance Rice – the project grew beyond anyone’s wildest expectations. Aaron and Chris talk about the the beginning of Lance’s journey and share what went right and wrong in what has now become a three year filmmaking journey.

The Rare Brain Podcast Episode 1: How a Four Week Beer Tour Became a Three Year Film

Lance, a gifted beer historian with autism joined hilarious radio hosts John Boy and Billy on The Big Show. Even more amazing than Lance speaking on national radio is the fact that four weeks before this broadcast Lance's family was not sure if he would be able to speak with anyone about Lance's Brewery Tour because of social anxiety. For nearly 55 years Lance only spoke to his immediate family. Now he is speaking to the world. It is incredible to see what can happen when the world begins to tell someone they are special, gifted, intelligent and inspiring. Lance's dream is truly inspiring the world. #BeerAutismHope  / www.lancesbrewerytour.com
