The Plot

“Point of Interest” is about two best friends who go on a road trip together. However, their bonding experience turns into one crazy adventure when they find their new GPS is actually an alien robot sent to probe select human hosts!





The Big Picture
Archimedes Media Lab is a production studio started by two filmmakers, two effects artists, and one idea: to produce the films that speak to that part in everyone that wants to believe in something more. “Point of Interest” is the first film to be produced in our new, Austin based studio. With your help, this will be the beginning of a long line of innovative, heartfelt projects produced through the use of creative storytelling and the magic of special effects.How You Can Help
We will need a grand total of $8,000 to complete “Point of Interest.” With your donation, this budget can be achieved. As a token of our appreciation, we are offering worthy incentives, and will be eternally grateful for any amount you are willing to give. And we’ll love you forever.
Where your money will be going:
Camera Department……………………..$380.00
Grip & Lighting…………………………$350.00
Sound……………………………………$100.00
Set Operations…………………………..$1,030.00
Actors……………………………………$600.00
Special Effects………………………......$315.00
Puppet/Fabrication Materials…………...$340.00
Location Fees…………………………...$540.00
Transportation…………………………..$500.00
Post Sound Design……………………...$1,500.00
Original Score………………………….$1,500.00
Post Visual Effects……………………..$845.00
Grand Total…………………………….$8,000.00
If we were to raise more than this, we would put it towards better production value on the film, better rewards, and film festival submission fees.
Besides funding, our film really relies on as much publicity as it can get. So tell your friends, your family, your neighbors and your kids about “Point of Interest!” By spreading the word (and this link to everyone you know), you will be an enormous help in getting this project off the ground!
How Kickstarter Works
In the Kickstarter community, it’s all or nothing. This means if that we do not make the entire $8,000 by our pledged date, “Point of Interest” will not receive any funding at all. So, if you’d like to see this film happen, please help us out by donating what you can and spreading the word!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Sincerely,
Your Friends at Archimedes Media Lab
