An indie feature film about waitressing, drug-dealing, family, foot-prostitution, and other compromising positions.
HOLY SCHNYKEEEES! ONLY 1 HOUR TO GO!!!
I really need your help, and there's not much time... See, I'm raising $20,000 to fund a feature film that I wrote and will direct. I need lots of people, (people just like you!) to pledge a couple bucks or more if you can!
By pledging, you'll receive incentives (listed to the right), and my undying love, appreciation, and affection!
My film is called "You Won't Be Disappointed." It's a narrative feature that follows our heroine, Ada, during election week in California. The state prop to legalize marijuana is about to pass. It's exciting news for some, but there's just one catch: Ada's a pot dealer, and her whole existence is based on her self-employment. Suddenly, Ada is down on her luck and feeling unsure of just about everything around her. "You Won't Be Disappointed" is the story of what happens when life throws you a curve ball and you find yourself in sticky situations. What will Ada do to make ends meet? Pledge and find out!
The cast and crew thus far include: Tarah DeSpain (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1980663/) Sean McElwee (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1386280/) Chad Hartigan ("Luke and Brie are on a First Date", http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1029961/) Jeffrey Ruggles ("Bicycle Lane", http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1484649/) and... myself (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1846865/)
The film will be scored by the amazing Travis Shettel (of TS and the Past Haunts, http://www.myspace.com/tsandthepasthaunts, and of former band Piebald). If you've heard his music, you know it's great. This will be the first full-length film score from Travis, complete with new, exciting, and original rock and roll tunes! His music is featured in the trailer for "You Won't Be Disappointed," which you can watch by clicking the above video.
I am so excited and proud of this talented team already, and I'm looking forward to announcing some other great members of the team in the very near future. Who knows... you could be one of them!
I plan on shooting in the summer of 2011, and upon completion, submitting the film to as many festivals as possible. I am ultimately excited about making this dream project a reality, but I can't do that without your help.
Your pledges will go towards: -renting equipment for shooting -feeding cast and crew during the shoot -renting several key locations -post production costs, including editing, color correction, and sound -packaging the completed film -submitting the film to festivals
I hope you'll join me on this journey by pledging and following my project updates as they unravel. Thanks for stopping by. Any pledge amount is truly appreciated, and it can't hurt to tell a friend and help spread the word!
xo, Lydia
