Panti Bliss to take global stage after crowdsourcing target smashed

The world can expect to see a lot more of Rory O’Neill, aka Panti Bliss, after a crowdsourcing target for a feature-length documentary on his life was smashed this week.

Following a six-week campaign, the target of €50,000 was exceeded on Monday night, with a final tally of €53,927 pledged from 962 funders for the project, entitled The Queen of Ireland.

According to scannain.com, the crowdsource target of €50,000 was set to raise money for equipment, license music and archive footage, interview additional contributors, post-production, and promotion of the final film.
