The story of a man who will do anything for love - even wrestle an Octopus.
Octopus is my graduate thesis film at Boston University, and we are pulling out all the stops!
Your donation will go a long way towards feeding our cast and crew, funding our props and costumes, and creating our extensive visual effects.
Cast and Crew: We are slated for a full 6 day production, with cast and crew size varying from 15 to 30 people at any one time. Simply helping us to feed those people goes a long way towards our bottom line.
Props and Costumes: For Octopus, we are going to create a unique movie universe - dark, industrial, surreal. Production design will be a big element of the film, and we need donations to help pay for everything from a boxing robe with customized embroidery to a weeklong dumpster rental - spoiler alert, the final battle takes place inside a dumpster!
Visual Effects: The script calls for not only a full, stop motion octopus to wrestle Bruno, but a battling Kangaroo and a screaming Lizard. You cannot simply buy these things off the shelf, but rather we need to build them from all sorts of different materials - and of course there is trial and error.
As I say in the video above, if you help me bring my Octopus to life, I will not only be eternally grateful, but I will put one hell of a picture up on the screen for you!
