Every movie has two things in common: they’re magical, and they begin with a dream.  And sometimes, the movie itself is a magical, thrilling story about a man with a dream.  “The Stooge” is that movie.

 

From a screenplay by acclaimed writer Christopher Priest (author of “The Prestige”), the story follows Barry, a downtrodden but determined man who dreams of changing his life by working as a magician’s assistant.  Once he enters the world of a legendary illusionist, a beautiful, mysterious showgirl, and their awe-inspiring stage act,  Barry soon realizes that the art of magic reveals more surprises than he could ever have imagined.

 

AREKITA PRODUCTIONS is raising at least $15,000 for the production of THE STOOGE.  Our immediate goal is to present the finished film for the purpose of showcasing the abilities of the multi-talented creative team we have formed, in an effort to secure investors for future feature film projects and provide us with the means to prove our mission statement: to produce motion pictures of extraordinary quality that raise the bar throughout the industry and provide audiences with innovative, thought-provoking, and enjoyable entertainment.

We are already involved in the development and pre-production phases of our project, and the next logical step is to secure financing.  We believe that the quality of our project will benefit greatly from members of our award-winning production team and their impressive track records of proven industry experience, including producer/production manager Tom Joyner, cinematographer Nancy Schreiber, and director Rogelio Fojo.

Every member of our production team will be devoting their talents and efforts in such a way that allows our budget to be mostly allocated toward production expenses and submission fees for film festivals and industry showcases, and catering. Post-production services will be provided at no cost by a prominent post-production facility. Depending on financing, a foreseeable date to begin shooting is late July, 2012.
