 Welcome to the official Apollo Minus Project Kickstarter page.  Here you will find all the information you need to know about this exciting new narrative documentary.

The Film

For years, rumors circulated throughout NASA about the Apollo Minus mission, a secret shuttle launched in 1969.  Its crew was sent to investigate Apollo 11's controversial “findings.”  

 Based on actual events, "Apollo Minus Project" is the story of DANIEL CONROY, a young documentary filmmaker who sets out to uncover the truth about his grandfather, James L. Conroy, an Air Force pilot and U.S. astronaut.  Colonel Conroy vanished mysteriously in the deserts of Nevada in 1970, six months after returning from a top-secret mission to the moon to investigate evidence of extraterrestrial life.

Here’s what we know: Daniel Conroy (25) disappeared while finishing this documentary.  Most of the footage that will be used to assemble this film was taken from his home camera. The mystery of the Conroy family remains untold.

This is not another alien monster flick.  Nor is it another ET family feel-good movie.

Apollo Minus Project is the story of a boy’s struggle to hold his broken family together after the effects of his grandfather’s contact with alien life. It is about Daniel’s quest to unravel this mystery, which has haunted his family for over forty years. It is an odyssey.  A conspiracy story.  A hunt for clues in dark places where there is no safe return, where the witnesses hide in dark corners and whisper, “We are not alone.”

As the film’s producer, I would like to suggest that Daniel uncovered something that has remained hidden for many years.  Something that his grandfather knew.  Something that potentially cost them both their lives. 

Right now, we are at a period in history in which we are on the brink of learning that we are not alone, that the government has kept this information hidden from us for years, and that contact has been made with alien life. 

Be on the brink of this discovery with the film that investigates this phenomenon.

Your Part

Kickstarter Is All Or Nothing

If we cannot secure at least $6000 in funding by 9:50 a.m. on 11.11.11, this film will not go into pre-production and you will not be charged.

This story will not be told.  It’s secret will remain hidden.

Please donate before the above date, so that we know that you are a part of our team of supporters!!

Why This Film is Unique & Why You Should Support It

--Apollo Minus Project crosses the boundaries between blockbuster alien flick, documentary, and paranormal indie cult hit.

--The film is an intimate blend between The Blair Witch Project and District 9.

-- It is fiction, a “narrative documentary” based on actual events, presented realistically as truth.

--At the present, aliens are “hot” in Hollywood.  Apollo Minus Project is poised at the peak of a slew of other alien movies that have already given us a ton of publicity and have audiences primed for a film that suggests: “We are not alone.”

--Lastly, this is not another monster flick about aliens trying to take over the earth.  Rather, it is a coming of age story, a family saga, a conspiracy thriller that follows the investigation of our protagonist as he delves deeper and deeper into a mystery from which there is no safe return. 

--In short, this story is completely unique.  No one else is doing anything like it.  And no one else is telling the story about what really happened on the Apollo 11 & Minus missions to the moon.

Thanks For Your Support

I invite you to fund the Apollo Minus Project, so that the public can learn the terrifying truth that Daniel uncovered, a truth which may have cost him his life.

Please help spread the word on Twitter and Facebook and by visiting the film’s official website at: www.theapollominusproject.com

Thank you in advance for your support!
