Los Angeles, CA: K.C. Marsh, the son of tenor saxophonist Warne Marsh, having completed a successful fundraising campaign is now raising awareness for his soon-to-be-completed feature documentary film. The film covers what made the improvisational capabilities of Warne Marsh so extraordinary as well as touching on the price of genius for a family left to support a musician single-mindedly devoted to his craft and art.

The film will tour the festival circuit in late 2015 and throughout 2016 and be hosted by online streaming outlets by January 2016. Additionally, the film's producers will reach out to musical educational institutions and present screenings at those locations.

The film's progress is updated via multiple outlets, the primary one being the fundraising website dedicated solely to filmmakers called Seed & Spark. Warne Marsh: An Improvised Life" is co-produced by K.C. Marsh and Suanne Spoke (producing partner and spouse).
