About this project

THE CATECHISM CATACLYSM

Hello friends! A new film is currently in the works in and around Seattle and central Washington.

We're in need of an additional $6500 to help feed and house our cast and crew and to rent lighting equipment to allow for us to shoot in the coming weeks.

We'd prefer not to give away too much about the film's story or production, but we can tell you that it will contain Steve Little as a priest, Robert Longstreet as a former metalhead, a Japanese Huckleberry Finn, a Japanese Tom Sawyer and a screaming metal soundtrack.

Please look over the film's cast and crew, their sample production credits and come on board to support us with the trust and knowledge that the combination of these people and production elements will produce a film that you'll be proud of supporting.

CAST:
Steve Little (EASTBOUND & DOWN)
Robert Longstreet (GREAT WORLD OF SOUND, LOW & BEHOLD)
Walter Dalton (WENDY & LUCY)
with a special appearance by
Shane Lee (SHANE SINGS 5 OCTAVES ON PIANO)

CREW:
Writer/Director - Todd Rohal (THE GUATEMALAN HANDSHAKE)
Producer - Megan Griffiths (THE OFF HOURS, ZOO, THE GUATEMALAN HANDSHAKE)
Producer - Lacey Leavitt (THE OFF HOURS, YOUR LUCKY DAY)
Director of Photography - Ben Kasulke (HUMPDAY, THE FREEBIE, BRAND UPON THE BRAIN)
Production Design - Cassie Miggins (DEAR LEMON LIMA)
Editor - Alan Canant (THE GUATEMALAN HANDSHAKE)
