About this project
(Donations of $25 and more are tax deductable)
I love fairytales, so I began writing a screen play loosely based on one of my favorites, "Peter and the Wolf."
I have hours of footage already in the can, animation and special effects that have been story boarded and created, now need to be shot, edited and inserted into our funding clip. Our 90 minute film, "A Wolf's Tale." is not only a feature film but has poteintial as a live theatical production, CD'S, books on tape and puppets (See synopsis in update) Our goal is $35,000. Completion of the entire project is January 2011. Folklore and fairyales from around the world is my passion. I've worked with kids and kids at heart who believe there's always room for great family entertainment at the box office.
Early on...I took a working clip, sketches and treatment to Mark Anderson, President of "Kerner Optical," formally know as "Industrial Light and Magic," (Transformers, Pirates of the Caribbean etc.) He loved the idea and offered to give us the best deals possible for shooting. Here is some of what Mark Anderson had to say about A Wolf's Tale, "Kerner Optical is definitely interested in being a part of a project like A Wolf's Tale. Education and entertainment for children are especially important to Kerner Optical and your project has seamlessly intertwined the two all while adding a much needed global perspective and appreciation for world culture."
Just what are our CREDITS? Creature technicians, Brian Turner and Jeanne Lauren of Skyana Entertainment, worked at Lucas Films on a number of Star Wars series. Sketches, costume designs and make-up artist, Tatyana Depavloff is magical. We have discovered some wonderfully talented actors like Charles Moselle who plays the wolf and pictured above, Abegail Bernard as Fairyfoot.
If you believe in up-lifting family entertainment, help us make this FLY! "Click your heels three times!" "Whistle a happy tune!" And GIVE! "May the force be With You!" we are greatful for any support and encouragement you offer.
