My name is Byron Pace. I am the film-maker behind the film Paid in Blood, one of the most compelling and inspiring stories I have had the privilege of telling. I started work on this in 2019, following an incredible relocation effort transporting elephants from Namibia where they were overpopulated, to the Democratic Republic of Congo – a place where historically elephant numbers had been decimated through years of war and poaching.
The film which came out of this was, however far more than just about elephants. As I got to know the characters behind the story, I began to see the complex nature of conservation on the ground. This web of love and death. The reality so often is that great sacrifices are made by both people and wildlife in the effort to create a better future for all, and that is what this film is about. This is the world of conservation like you have never seen it portrayed, highlighting some of the unsung heroes of our time.
Over two years I finished filming in the field, but to this point it has been entirely self-funded, supported on the ground by the Oelfse family and the team who pulled together the original elephant relocation to Congo – and for that I am immensely grateful. But now, in post-production, I need help to bring this film to the world. It’s a production that deserves to have scored music, be expertly coloured and sound mastered, but to do that, I need to raise a minimum of $30,000. If you think you can help or know someone or a company who can, my contact details will shortly follow. Thank you. I cannot wait to share this with you all.
