We are closing in on the last month of our fundraising campaign. It's never fun asking for donations, but if you have the time to pass on our kickstarter link to anyone and everyone who may be interested in being part of a great film project, we would absolutely appreciate it!!
We hope everyone is having an incredible Sunday! Stay cool, and thank you so so much for your generosity!
Update #4: Intersection tee shirt design
We finalized the design for the tee shirts we're giving out as incentives. They're going to look awesome! Thanks to Kelsey Dzintars ( www.kelseydzintars.com ) for the great design!
Update #3: Last weeks location scout
Hope everyone's weekend was great! We were out in the Mojave, braving 105+ degree weather, scoping out more location spots. We all feel very satisfied with the intersection we found. Considering the fact that 3/4 of the film takes place in one location, it was imperative that we found the perfect intersection.
The environment that these two characters inhabit is the third character in this film. It is important to us that we portray the stark, rugged beauty that lies within this harsh desert. It's been a blast taking these road trips out to nowhere, and our own experiences in the Mojave will undoubtable enhance the quality of the film itself.
We took a time lapse of our journey into the desert that I posted on this update. I also posted several photos that give you a more detailed look at the area where we hope to film this fall.

Wow, I can almost see the movie now. These are great shots. The huge rock all by its self is wonderful and I love the sort of cave in the rocks. The landscape of the lonely road to nowhere is so right. Might be very hot for making this movie but I bet it turns out great if you don't die of thirst . Thanks for the update.

Update #2: Thank you!!
Wow, $775 today! Thank you all so much for your generosity! We will not let you down! This is a pic from our last location scout. We had some intense wind and heat to deal with, but we still had a great time! As always, feel free to send out our kickstarter link to anyone you feel might be interested in our project. Have a great weekend!

His last film, "Stasis", was accepted to 7 film festivals around the US. "Intersection" has been his obsession for the better part of a year now, and he has already lost countless hours of sleep thinking about the project.
