About this project

Our post-production budget is 24K. (We named a 12k goal because kickstarter is an all-or-nothing campaign.) As close as we can get to that number will be SUPER!

Regarding the film: since pictures speak a thousand words, I'll let the video above do the talking.

All backers who pledge $12 or more are invited to join the director, cast, and crew, at a private, pre-release theatrical screening of the film in NYC. $24 earns you two movie passes and so forth. You'll receive as many passes as the number 12 fits in your pledged amount.

More information about the film at http://ForeignLettersTheMovie.com

See you at the movies :)

All of the above, AND, after I interview you and we agree on a story, I'll personally write a short script about you. You'll own the copyright to the script. But wait -- there's more. I'll personally meet you (or phone you if you're not in NYC), to offer a consultation on the production of the script, so you know what concrete steps you can take to get it produced. Get the film made and watch yourself on screen. (Actors: if you prefer a script with a meaty role for yourself rather than a true-life story about you, I'm flexible!)
