I say this extremely lovingly -- artists aren鈥檛 always the first people to think about asking for money. But if you鈥檙e an artist in South Florida and you have a project in mind, the Knight Foundation wants you to ask. The is taking pitches through April 28, and all they鈥檙e asking for in this first step is 150 words about what you want to do with the money. That鈥檚 basically one paragraph. The length of this paragraph. Finalists will have to submit a complete proposal. To hear about how to make your pitch stand out, listen above to a conversation with . Below is another 150 words. Filmmaker generously shared his own initial pitch. It worked out pretty well. . It'll premiere in the dome of the new next year.
"On A High Note is a cross-platform exploration of how the human brain interprets music. The project consists of a 360 degree dome film series that integrates the history of music and it鈥檚 influence on civilization, the relationship between music and movement and how these artforms communicate human emotion, and live orchestral performances with cinematic visual interpretations triggered by the music. In addition to the dome experience, the project consists of a gallery/museum installation that reads the brainwaves of an individual listening to orchestral music and projects a cinematic and graphical interpretation of those real-time emotional readings into the environment for spectators to observe. The goal of the project is to inspire new generations of classical music audiences with groundbreaking entertainment, while also educating these audiences in musical history, theory, and the science behind human comprehension of music. Potential partners include the Frost Museum of Science and the New World Symphony."

Correction: An earlier version of this post stated that Jonathan David Kane's film project would premiere during the opening of the Frost Museum of Science next month. The premiere has been postponed to 2018.
