About this project
About The Film: Remember Your Death is the story of three men hired to clean up after a banker's bloody shotgun suicide. In a brisk, macabre and witty thirteen pages we meet John, the young boss; Joe, the dim-witted second-in-command and Tom, the fifty-something former white-collar contractor whose first day back on the job finds him face-to-face with more blood than he could ever imagine, a second decomposing body, and an irate widow whose entire life has been a lie.
Remember Your Death is a film about death and about gore. It is a film about running away and starting over. It is a film about an America in economic ruin and the men and women left to clean up the mess.
Our Kickstarter Project: Remember Your Death is currently in pre-production and will begin filming in mid March. Our Kickstarter goal is based on the level of production value we hope to achieve, and the minimum budget required to make this happen. Your donation today will go directly towards covering some of these expenses. Our hard costs include rentals (camera package (Red or Alexa), lighting, grip and electric), production design, and meals for our hard-working cast and crew.
For us, Remember Your Death marks the first return to film-making since the recession. While we are thankful to have been kept afloat on the commercial side of production, we're happy to be returning to the medium we love so much. Thank you for your interest in our project and for helping us get one step closer to reaching our goal.

**quick update since some of you have asked so far - Kickstarter is an all or nothing situation. If we aren't able to meet our goal we won't receive anything and any donations will be refunded. This is just a Kickstarter policy. thanks!
