About this project

*If funding goal is not reached by deadline, anyone who pledged will not be charged. You will only be charged your pledge IF we reach our goal!*

This is a film that's coming from several different places. It's not just a drama. It's not just science fiction. It's a glimpse into the world of one character, David Tamet, an astronaut, who has always felt isolated and on a different frequency as everyone else, trying desperately to change the station. In the year 2050, he is sent on a mysterious mission, alone. He sees this as his one chance to become part of something great, and share an experience with others. He becomes marooned after an accident, and he struggles to find some sign of hope, as he slowly begins to fear the very people back home he's always wanted to connect with have abandoned him once and for all, in the worst place imaginable.

What I want to do is make this a film that stays with the viewer. I want to raise questions rather than try to answer them. I don't want anything to be too concrete; the audience's mind is more creative than the storyteller can ever be, and I really believe the key to making a good film is not dictating to the audience, but rather feeding their imagination to birth their own unique interpretations of what they're seeing and hearing. The filmmaker has their own vision of what's going on; it's when you can let the viewer take on a sense of ownership in the project that it really becomes something special.

I want this film to also visually strike everybody in many ways. I have special effects shots planned that are both intimidating and very exciting. I have a terrific crew who is totally into this. And, finally, I have a budget. The budget.... ahh.. there it is.

How I plan to do all of this: Quite simply, my crew and I plan to make this film with you. We are feeling pretty solid right now. Set design is underway, script is locked in and finished, and casting is beginning very soon. We could really use some support to help us accomplish all of our tasks, and we'd appreciate any help at all.

The pledges we get will all go towards helping to fund this film We've already partitioned a budget for things like talent transport, food, additional expenses, etc. The part of the budget you'd be pledging for is the production costs. Equipment, cameras, lenses, costume design, props, and shooting permits. You will be directly contributing to the most essential aspects of our production. We really appreciate anything you can pledge, and we really look forward to hearing from a lot of you!

Be sure to check out the rewards, too! The last one is something we are REALLY excited about!

Thanks, and good luck in your own projects!
