This is about bringing a dead genre back to the silver screen. Help us on our journey to make a groundbreaking film noir.

We show off some cool props and Jeff gets desperate!
The year is 1939. The place? The underbelly of Chicago, a breeding ground for criminals and the men who'll never lock them away. The film jumps around from Prohibition, when organized crime had found its home, to fifteen years later, a time where the gangster had shot his final rounds. The cop out on the beat, the femme fatale, the guy seeking retribution over a murdered friend. This film features classic noir motifs while adding on a pleasant twist of its own.
I'm looking to raise AT LEAST $10,000 for my movie. If the kickstarter doesn't get funded by the deadline, the film doesn't get made. It is a dream of mine to bring this film to the big screen and I'm going to need a lot of help.
I've already poured most of my own funds into this film, and for it to reach its potential, I'm going to need a lot more than what a day job can provide.
That's where you come in. Small donors to kickstarter are like brushstrokes to the Mona Lisa.
I filmed my short "HOMOCIDE" in three nights on three hundred dollars. That money went towards food, gas, props, wardrobe and other little nuances trying to up production value. If I can squeeze that out of $300, what could I accomplish with $10,000? (link at bottom)
Say you earn $200 a week. Hopefully, donating $50 won't put you in a financial hole. You won't miss that cash in a year. But together, we can pull off something extraordinary.
I encourage you to SEND this kickstarter page to anyone and everyone. Maybe your neighbor always wanted to produce a film. Maybe your mother wants nothing more than to be in the credits of a movie. Maybe you have a friend who loves black and white classics. You can even submit their name to be in the "special thanks." Wouldn't that be a gift?
*Shirt and poster designs will be in the "Updates" section shortly! When you donate, you'll get an email of the designs to choose from.
