About this project
Film's Title; To-Be-Announced (title has not yet been decided upon)
- Production (Estimated) Start Date: October 30th, 2010
- Production (Estimated) End Date: January 23rd, 2010
This film is going to be fun, action-packed, heart-warming, and even profanity-free. We are trying to make it a film that doesn't really shut out demographics and age ranges, even though the film gets a bit feisty and violent in some moments, it is non-graphic and done in such a way that jokes and laughable conversation are still at the helm while the action plays out. It will be a new kind of film where slapstick makes a huge comeback, and the two main characters (who are villains to a certain extent) make choices that will make you laugh, as well as get attached to them and their lifestyles, even if they do seem to be the bad guys in the film.
- The budget mainly revolves around financing the props, required items, for stunt-work, for the use of certain locations, the advertising via an internet campaign, as well as Festival submissions (which can get pricey).
- Budget Maximum is; $2500 (unless of course the KickStarter gig grants us a little more to work with)
I honestly am trying to keep the budget fairly low as opposed to a half-million dollar budget or something crazy like that because I believe that if this film does merit some recognition, it will earn us a lot more respect for doing something on such a large scale with such a smaller budget. Similar to Paranormal Activity or The Blair Witch Project, but not in the genre of horror, and with a 19 going on 20 year old guy at the helm of the project by himself, I mean, by myself. I'm writing the film, directing it, filming it, acting as one of the two leads, and editing the film as well. Not to mention producing it, costume designing, foley work, and sound mixing, which I usually just don't tell people about because they're more detailed elements of the product.
MY GOAL; To finish filming the feature by the end of January (re-shoots included) and begin editing the film in post-production. I'm planning on sending it into Sundance next August (by then it will be edited to complete perfection), and after that submission (whether it is accepted there or not) will continue onward in submitting it to several other high-priority film festivals, and most definitely the festival in Seattle. Once it has taken its course with festivals, and if a major motion picture company does -not- decide to pick it up, then we will simply release it on DVD and Digital Download through Amazon.com and flourish in that respect, on our own.
To see some of my other works, so that you know there is definitely a vast amount of hope for this film, give some of my past / recent video works a peek below;

I'm a 19 year old filmmaker/entertainer and currently make my own short films. Of course, I also do work-related filmography like music videos, weddings, comedy shows, reality tv shows, graduations and more. I'm not out to be the "next big filmmaker", I just want to try hard and show the world what I'm made of. Thank you for your time. :)
