So what's this about?

Synopsis: Kyle is a down-on-his-luck romantic in his mid-twenties who's been with the girl he loves for three years. One week before proposing to her, he discovers that she's been sleeping with another man. Unemployed, saddled with debt, and depressed, Kyle embarks on a funny yet affecting journey to recovery that involves living in his car, bottom-of-the-barrel jobs, therapy, online dating, and Kyle's own wild, fantastical, and snarky imagination.

...and what are you looking for?

The Pitch: Well to be honest, we have a really great story here. We've got great actors, and we've got a Director / Cinematographer team that has already made one successful independent film. What we need is some front end help with our budget. We're looking to make this thing happen on more than just the extra room on a credit card, and to do so...well, that's where you come in. The awesome thing is that we've already got some interest in distribution, but to lock it down we have to really nail the production. The more you can help, the better off we'll be!

...and who's involved again?

Writer/director: Jonathan Smith graduated from Yale University in 2004 with a degree in Film Studies. His first feature film, BREAST PICTURE, which he wrote and directed, was released on June 1, 2010 by Gravitas Ventures. You can currently see the film on Netflix and Amazon.com. He recently optioned a feature comedy script entitled BATSHIT BRIDE with Oscar-winning director James Moll at Allentown Productions at Universal Studios. Jonathan is also heavily involved in the Los Angeles improv scene, where he has written and performed at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre and where he co-founded and runs a weekly improv show called Tuesday Night Thunder. Jonathan's online video work on FunnyOrDie.com, YouTube.com, and UCBComedy.com has garnered millions of hits.
