A family gets a mysterious board game in the mail that forces them to confront a secret they've kept hidden for years.
The Story
"Game Night" is a short film about a family that gets a mysterious board game in the mail. The family sits down to play, but the game is more than it seems, and to finish it they'll have to confront a secret they've kept quiet for years.
Where We Are Now
We are almost ready to take this film around the world, but there are just a few steps left before we finish, and we need your help to do it. Still ahead of us are the original score, color timing, the final sound mix, and title design – the little things in filmmaking that make a big difference. We also need help to meet the cost of publicizing the film and submitting it to festivals.
Get Involved
Donations both big and small will get this story on the screen. Look to your right to see how donating to "Game Night" can get you copies of the film, pictures from the set, and even some pieces of the original Kablooey game board prop.
And after you've done that, why not share this project on Facebook and Twitter? Your donation is worth twice as much when you help us spread the word.
