About this project

Mission: "Crash and Burn" is a Social Experiment by Zero Dark Cinema and Director Adam Arnali make the film "Crash and Burn". A film that is a part of a creative endeavor collectively titled The Phoenix Project. The Phoenix Project ties film and fashion together, where a shirt contains a piece of the story, and a character wears the shirt in the film. When you wear the shirt you become a part of the story.

We have already made the shirts and are ready to make the film, which is why we've come to Kickstarter. Help us achieve the budget for the film "Crash and Burn" so we can complete The Phoenix Project. We believe that tying the two arts of film & fashion together will create a new era for the film industry. As films becomes more and more digital, the shirt represents the Physical Life of Cinema to an increasingly digitized medium.

The film "Crash and Burn" is a calling to raise awareness that our Earth's fresh water supply is on the verge of running out and no one is feeling this more than the people along the Nile River in Africa. Because of this, we are aligning ourselves and our film with Blood:Water Mission, a non profit organization that brings Fresh Water to the people of Africa.

The story of "Crash and Burn" tells of a clash of cultures, where the water crisis of Egypt meets the American Dream. Set in Orlando, Florida - a group of Egyptian missionaries find a girl named Sunset, who they believe contains the spirit of The Phoenix Bird. The Phoenix is a mythological bird that watched over the rising and falling of the Sun and Nile River. They believe The Phoenix has returned in the body of the girl and is the key to saving the Nile from drying up. However, there are those who wish to use the girl's power for control, and luckily for her an All-American Iraqi war veteran named Crash, who has seen how corruption can destroy a civilization and has had enough, rescues her from the clutches of the radical group.

The film is an allegory about how the best interests of our society can become maliciously turned into corruption and greed and that its up to us as free thinking, heart driven, people to do what's right no matter the cost. Even if it means to Crash and Burn.

Crash and Burn is being filmed in Orlando and we already have the Script, Cast and Crew and are looking to use the funds from Kickstarter to pay for equipment, locations, wardrobe, props, editing, music, and our film festival run.
