Two strangers are almost derailed by a choice between the familiar and the unknown, in a chance encounter at a train station.
This is our second approach to funding this project via Kickstarter.
As explained in our updated pitch video, we realize that our original goal of ten thousand dollars was psychologically daunting in the current economy. We still need that amount in the long run but we are breaking this project down into bite-sized chunks.
This chunk is called Production Costs. It's the bare minimum we need to get the film shot.
The Team: We want you to know who you are helping to support.
