Maverick director Abel Ferrara turns to Kickstarter

Maverick New York director Abel Ferrara has turned to Kickstarter to help fund his new project, a nightmarish road movie starring Willem Dafoe, he told reporters at the Cannes Film Festival. The filmmaker, known for classics such as "Bad Lieutenant" and "King of New York", gave a typically energetic press conference on the sidelines of the festival to describe his new project, dubbed "Siberia". "Siberia" is based on a book by psychoanalyst Carl Jung, and will explore dreams and nightmares as well as dramatic scenery from snowfields to deserts.
