About this project

Simply put, I love telling stories through film. My goal with this film is to create a realisitic, fun, adventureous film that all ages can watch and feel good about. I want people to relate to the characters and laugh about old times in their own lives. People will feel that this movie was worth more to them than just entertainment value.

In terms of acclaim: I want to challenge my project in Film Festivals and spread my passion for good story telling. I know this film will be awesome and a launching pad to even greater things.

To accomplish this I had some key players read my script and they asked me to be part of it. They believe in it, that it is well written, a fun film, and carries a good positive message. They also believe in, and feel my passion for this film. Let me tell you who they are.

Action on Film Festival award winner Matt Sconce (Best Horror Feature/Best Visual Effects for Stricken).As producer he brings so much to the project in terms of experience and equipment. Also Shane Foster who was Director of Photography on Finding Hope Now a big film in post production you can find on IMDB, and Lighting for "Stricken and many other films. Also DVXuser.com's WestFest 2010 2nd place winner Troy Ruff (By Hook or Crook) is also part of our amazing team of filmmakers as a camera operator, assistant director. We are called the Dream team here in Central California. I have several friends from several film academies wanting to help my project be a success. We have an amazing cast of actors, stuntmen, and crew, all who have dedicated their abilities to my vision and this project without pay. Everything is in place for this to be a good film. But with you on our team this will be nothing short of a great film. A film I know you can be proud of participating in, with your contributions.

I project this film to be 1hr 15 minutes. I have already started shooting a section of the movie and it is looking fantastic. I am planning to be finished filming in mid September and then getting post-production editing done, with original music by December 31st. I will be having a premiere in January.

We realize there are logistical needs we have to meet, and that is why we are looking for sponsors. Hear are some of the needs: Costumes, Location costs, Liability Insurance, and on-set food services for cast and crew are the biggest things we will need funding for. Aside from these things I feel that I have done my best to minimize costs for a maximized movie experience. I am going to give this movie all I have. I know it will be worth it.

By small and simple means great things can come to pass. This is my thought. If many can contribute a little then a lot can be accomplished. With a sponsorship I want you to be in the "Gold Fools" Participation Rally (GFPR)

With this allstar team, the great cast, and you, this movie is sure to be well done and very entertaining. I look forward to having you join the rally..

I have been acting since I was a child and fell away from it for a few years after I got married and had my first child. I got back in after I went on the hit ABC show "Wipeout" and I won. The experience was so fun I started doing stuntwork and extra work in many films and decided to write an amazing script with some suspenseful twists followed by a good "moral to the story" type of ending. An adventure that children and the child in all of us will enjoy.
