About this project

We’ve been creating music videos for a couple years now, and The Inventor is our first jump into the realm of short narrative film. It’s a story exploring the fine line between identity and insanity, and we need your help in bringing it to life. Set in a mental institute, one new patient wakes to find himself surrounded by men who believe themselves to be great men of history. While wrestling with his new reality, and the multiple interpretations of reality surrounding him, this patient begins to make sense of his own imprisonment through the friendship of an inmate claiming to be Thomas Edison.

The project has been filmed, but we have a lot of expenses to cover and that’s where you come in. We need your help so we can finish editing and begin submitting the film to festivals. Your support will help us accomplish our goal of finishing this by summer’s end. We’ve had a lot of people donate their time and hard work so far, and we’d like to bring you into our creative family by giving you the opportunity to give. We have several different incentives for your support, and we’re greatly thankful for your desire to be a part of this project.

If you have any interest in checking out our previous work in music videos and comedy, please visit Paper Beats Rock and Team Genius.

Also, the music in the teaser is "Worse Things Have Happened" from James Wallace and the Naked Light. James is awesome. You should check him out.

UPDATE:

We've added more reward levels, mostly just so people are aware that there's more options for giving. Remember, you can give any amount from one dollar, to all the dollars. Feel free to give whatever.

Also, new great news on the post-production end: The lovely folks over at Paragon Studios are going to be helping out doing much of the post work, work that I would have been doing all myself. This isn't changing anything on the financial end, but is going to ensure that the final product will be the best it can possibly be.
