Update #14: FOUR Festival Funds
Remember back in 2010, when a couple of filmmakers named Joshua Sanchez and Christine Giorgio were raising funds to begin production on a project called FOUR, based on the play by Obie award-winner, Pulitzer Prize nominated playwright Christopher Shinn?
With your support and encouragement they made that film come true. It's a done deal and we couldn't be happier with the results. The film stars Wendell Pierce (The Wire, Treme), Emory Cohen (NBC's Smash, Afterschool), E.J. Bonilla and Aja Naomi King. We have our world premiere in competition at the Los Angeles Film Festival in June and Frameline in San Francisco.
This is where you come in. Going to festivals is expensive. We have cast to take care of and representatives to hire so we can give our film the best possible future it can have.
We are asking for your support to help us get FOUR seen around the world and we have some great incentives to offer you for your help.
Visit our new Kickstarter page to see the world premiere of the FOUR Teaser and find out how you can help with our festival run.
We are offering digital downloads of the film so you can see the film in the privacy of your own home. We also have signed limited edition postcards and posters. You can come to a screening of FOUR and meet the cast or have a one-on-one meeting with Emory Cohen, star of FOUR.
Or just give what you can, any small bit helps.
Thank you so much for your continued support. We could not have made this film without you!
Thank you!
Joshua Sanchez & Christine Giorgio

THANK YOU to all of our backers!! As of this morning, we have reached our fundraising goal!

Your pledges allow us to take the first essential steps in getting this film made and that is HUGE. THANK YOU!
