Funding Unsuccessful
This project reached the deadline without achieving its funding goal on August 8, 2010.
Pledge $1 or more Pledge $1 or more
Access to terrifyingly-cool Kickstarter updates with exclusive photos and videos! And our sincere thanks with your name on a special page of the movie's website!
Pledge $3 or more Pledge $3 or more
Get a signed 5x7 color photo!
Pledge $10 or more Pledge $10 or more
All the above PLUS the festival version of the movie! This includes a 5.1 surround mix, special features on the making of the film (Pre-Production, Principle Photography, Special Effects, Post-Production, Recording the Score), a step-by-step Mask Making featurette (great for learning how we did the monsters), English subtitles, color insert, and shrink-wrapped DVD case with cover art. Since these are DVD-Rs, they can be shipped out right after we reach our goal. Because the festival cut will be discontinued, you'll be the owner of a rare collector's item.
Pledge $15 or more Pledge $15 or more
A signed 5x7 color photo, copy of the festival cut, AND a signed set of production artwork!
Pledge $25 or more Pledge $25 or more
All the above except instead of the festival cut, you get a signed Limited Edition DVD of the final version of the movie (when available since the movie has to be updated with new footage and these dual-layer DVDs have to be replicated, these won't be shrink-wrapped since the director has to sign the outside of the case). This includes exclusive extras not on the other release! And you can get a copy of the festival version too if you want one!
Pledge $40 or more Pledge $40 or more
All the above PLUS a 8x10 color photo signed by the director!
Pledge $50 or more Pledge $50 or more

Pledge $70 or more Pledge $70 or more
All the above PLUS a copy of the script signed by the director.
Pledge $150 or more Pledge $150 or more

Pledge $300 or more Pledge $300 or more
All the above PLUS a special full-size print of the movie's poster signed by the director. This will only be available to backers on here.
Pledge $500 or more Pledge $500 or more
All the above PLUS a black figure robe used in the movie with a Certificate of Authenticity signed by the director (if two people have already pledged above this level, this reward is sold out, please check before choosing this, 1 of 2 is already gone so I lowered the limit to 1 to avoid confusion).
Pledge $850 or more Pledge $850 or more
All the above PLUS you can pick one of the following special credits in the movie: "Zombie Wrangler," "Mr. Headless," "Queen of the Undead," "Master of the Boomstick," or choose your own (choice must be approved, only one person can have each of these credits, this only applies to the final version of the movie since the festival cut is already done and will be discontinued, the movie's IMDb listing will be updated accordingly although I'm not responsible if they reject these particular credits but I don't think that will be a problem or we can come up with new ones, all the above doesn't include anything that's limited and already gone). DON'T FORGET this includes a signed poster, t-shirt, script, DVD, etc.
Pledge $1,000 or more Pledge $1,000 or more
All the above except you'll be credited as an Associate Producer instead! Your name will appear at the beginning and end of the movie as well as on IMDb (this only applies to the final version of the film since the festival cut is already done and will be discontinued, the movie's IMDb listing will be updated accordingly, all the above doesn't include anything that's limited and already gone). DON'T FORGET this includes a signed poster, t-shirt, script, DVD, etc.
Pledge $1,500 or more Pledge $1,500 or more
All the above except instead of an Associate Producer credit, you'll be listed as an Executive Producer in the movie and on IMDb (this only applies to the final version of the movie since the festival cut is already done and will be discontinued, the movie's IMDb listing will be updated accordingly, all the above doesn't include anything that's limited and already gone).
Pledge $2,000 or more Pledge $2,000 or more
All the above PLUS you get a special 2-hour documentary on the shooting of the film. This is a Kickstarter exclusive. It includes all kinds of extremely rare behind the scenes footage as well as alternate takes, storyboards for a deleted scene, etc. This comes all by itself on a DVD-R with its own cover art, disc art, and menu (when available, the director can sign this too but then it won't be shrink-wrapped, all the above doesn't include anything that's limited and already gone).
Pledge $3,000 or more Pledge $3,000 or more
All the above except you'll be credited as a CO-PRODUCER instead! Your name will appear at the beginning and end of the movie as well as on IMDb (this only applies to the final version of the film since the festival cut is already done and will be discontinued, the movie's IMDb listing will be updated accordingly, all the above doesn't include anything that's limited and already gone).

DON'T FORGET this includes a movie credit, signed poster, t-shirt, Limited Edition DVD, 8x10 color still, 2-hour documentary, etc.
Pledge $6,000 or more Pledge $6,000 or more
All the above PLUS you can get a brief cameo in the movie as a dead body! Yes, you can be a movie star! This isn't as glamorous as it sounds though since you'll be covered in blood and lying on the ground outside at night (yep, I've had to do it a lot, but it's fun!). There also won't be any crew aside from the director who will do your makeup as well (we spared no expense). I'll pay for one round-trip economy plane ticket to Kansas City (you have to be within the continental US, value can't exceed $500). If you'll only be needing one room and you'll only be staying for 2-3 days (filming will take 1 night, but you might want to see the sights), we can pay for the lodging too, assuming a nice but affordable hotel is ok with you (ie a Courtyard Marriott in Blue Springs, a good Days Inn, or a Holiday Inn, value can't exceed a total of $500 for the whole stay at the hotel). You'll need to rent a car or get a taxi, but assuming they're not over a total of $400, I'll pay you back for that as well. All the above doesn't include anything that's limited and already gone. The cameo will only be in the final version of the film since the festival cut is already done and will be discontinued. You'll also get to have dinner with the director, and we'll pay for the meal assuming it's not over $100. We'll have to reach an agreement on the shooting/travel dates, but we're flexible. It just needs to be done pretty soon after reaching our goal so we can finish the final cut of the movie.
Pledge $8,000 or more Pledge $8,000 or more
All the above except instead of the cameo, you get one round-trip economy plane ticket to SHANGHAI, CHINA, to have dinner with the director and explore the city with him! He'll also record and edit a special HD video of your trip for you to keep. We'll have to figure out dates that work for both of us, and you'll have to get a visa on your own (you need a valid passport), but we'll walk you through the steps (it's pretty easy, you just have to fill out an application, attach a recent photo, pay a fee, and have someone take it to one of the embassies). Don't worry, we can meet you at the airport and help you find a hotel. We can't pay for your lodging, but we'll give you $250 towards it. We also can't pay for public transportation unless you want to take the subway or buses (value can't exceed $200 total). We can suggest places for you to go and help you get there (for example, the Shanghai Zoo or the Oriental Pearl Tower). If you come over while the World Expo is still going on, we'll pay for a single one-day pass to it. All the above doesn't include anything that's limited and already gone. Price of the plane ticket can't exceed $1800. The director will be your guide for a minimum of 4 days, probably a lot longer, but it depends on how long you come over for, his work schedule, etc.

Same as the reward above except you get TWO round-trip economy plane tickets to Shanghai, China!

Aliens and John Carpenter's The Thing are two of my favorite films. I also really love South Korean and Japanese cinema.
I grew up on a steady diet of TNT's MonsterVision and Discovery Channel's Movie Magic.
After graduating from Missouri State with a degree in Screenwriting and Filmmaking, I wrote, directed, and edited THE SKY HAS FALLEN using money I saved from working overnights in retail. I also edited EISIS, another feature written by and starring a real Green Beret, and I'm one of several co-producers on Andrew James's new documentary STREET FIGHTING MAN.
