About this project

You are about to enter a dimension of sight, sound and silliness!

Next stop, The Oblique Sector!

WHAT IS THE OBLIQUE SECTOR? 

The Oblique Sector is a 9 minute comedic short film created by Art Hennessey, Amanda Good Hennessey, Brad Kelly, Mark Kiefer and Jason M. Reulet

WHAT IS THE FILM ABOUT?  

Natasha has met a handsome Mr. Right online.  But on the second date, the romance takes an unexpected turn.  And there's that pesky visitor from another dimension that just can't seem to leave. Awkward!

WHERE ARE WE IN THE PROCESS?  

The Oblique Sector has been shot, edited and the post production process has been completed. The film premiered at the prestigious Nantucket Film Festival in June, has played at several other fesivals, and we are now in the process of submitting to film festivals across the country and internationally.

WHAT DO WE NEED THE MONEY FOR? 

Film Festivals are an expensive part of the independent filmmaking process.  We need to pay for festival entry fees, DVD copies of the film for submission purposes, festival marketing materials and high quality exhibition copies of the film.

SO REALLY, IT'S ALL OR NOTHING?

Yep!  We will only receive the funding IF we reach our goal!

WHEN WILL MY CREDIT CARD BE CHARGED?

It will only be charged after our campaign is successfully completed.

HOW LONG IS YOUR FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN?

Our campaign is 30 days.

WHERE CAN ONE LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS FILM?

You can go to www.obliquesector.com to see a trailer and learn more.  You can also find us on facebook and twitter.  Come "like" us, follow us, have us over for snacks, whatever floats your boat.

IS MY PLEDGE AMOUNT PRIVATE?

Yes.  Only you and the Oblique Sector team will be able to see your pledge amount.

WHEN DO I RECEIVE MY REWARD?

If our goal is met, you will receive your reward(s) by January 2012.  If your reward is to have a small part in our next project, that experience would happen in 2012.

HOW CAN I GET IN TOUCH WITH YOU?

You are welcome to email us via our website:  www.obliquesector.com or right here at Kickstarter.
