Back Trouble at the Targa

A film about living in alignment with one’s own nature, told through one car, one road, and one journey to Sicily.

“The Banshee and the Targa Florio are the outward form of a deeper question… what happens when the road one is meant to take is finally taken seriously enough to be lived.”

Why give?

  • ✽

    To help bring a meaningful film into the world.

    This is not just support for a trip or a car. It is support for a piece of work that could move people, stay with them, and say something worth saying about how a life gets lived.

  • ✽

    To stand behind a road that feels deeply personal and deeply universal.

    The Banshee and Sicily are your form of the journey, but the deeper subject belongs to almost everyone: whether we are living consciously, in alignment with what is actually ours to live.

  • ✽

    To support something handmade, authored, and real.

    The car was built from scratch. The road is real. The film is being made from lived experience, not manufactured content. People are often hungry to back work that feels made rather than packaged.

  • ✽

    To be part of the first chapter of something larger.

    This is not only one film. It is the beginning of a larger world. Backing it now lets people feel they were there at the start, helping give form to something before it was polished or proven.

  • ✽

    To encourage a way of living that values courage, craft, and inward honesty.

    A lot of people want more than entertainment. They want proof that it is still possible to build a life around devotion, discipline, beauty, and one’s own proper road. Supporting this project is a vote for that.

  • ✽

    To receive something in return beyond a product.

    Yes, there are books, shirts, jackets, credits, and updates. But the deeper return is participation. People get to help carry a real journey into existence and see it unfold from inside, which is more meaningful than just buying another object.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • You are backing the full journey of Trouble at the Targa: the continued build of The Banshee, the road to Sicily, and the film taking shape around both. The car and the destination are the visible form of a deeper story about taking one’s own road seriously and living it consciously.

  • Because this is the moment when years of vision, labor, and belief are being brought into the world under a real deadline. Sicily gives the journey a destination, but the deeper reason is to make a film that shows what can happen when a life is finally brought into alignment with its proper road.

  • Support goes toward three things: the build, the journey, and the film. That includes continued work on The Banshee, logistics and travel connected to Sicily, and the production and completion of the film itself, along with the fulfillment of supporter rewards.

  • Supporters will be able to follow the project through the website, blog posts, email updates, videos, and tier-based extras such as uncut shop footage and occasional private live or Zoom sessions. The aim is to let people stay close to the road as it unfolds, not just wait for the finished film.

  • The road to Sicily is one chapter, not the whole story. After the October journey, the work turns toward shaping the footage, refining the story, and completing the film for a planned Christmas release. Supporters are not only helping make the road possible, but helping carry it all the way into a finished piece of work. And while this chapter concludes with the film, it also opens into a larger world beyond it.
