About the Movie

The total budget is $550,000. Our plan is to pre-sell 20% or more of the movie VOD (video on demand) directly to the audience through IndieGoGo, then leverage state tax rebates, and raise the rest through equity investment. Should we not reach our 20% pre-sale funding goal here, all of the money raised will still all go toward the budget, and all of your perks will still be provided when the movie is made. We will make up the difference by increasing the equity requirement. Of course, we would love for horror fans to pre-buy the movie enough to cover the entire $550K budget!

Experience horror through the eyes of a disturbed teenager as he leads his sinister friends into the dark underworld of the occult, releasing an unexpected demon terror... Don’t be the victim!

Possessed Soul Teaser Poster

Synopsis

Two teenage girls are terrorized and slaughtered in the dark woods by a knife-wielding murderer. Russ Anderson, a disturbed and menacing teenage boy, awakes in a rage from his dream. Through his eyes, the audience experiences the horror of Possessed Soul. As they torment and abuse other students and teachers at their school, Russ leads his group of sinister and unstable friends into the perverse underworld of the occult. The group focuses their threats and intimidation on another outcast, Jake, stalking him mercilessly after school.

In their relentless pursuit to have their desires fulfilled through Satanic worship, Russ and his friends engage in a series of increasingly maniacal rituals through a haze of drugs and alcohol. The further they delve into the occult, the more their grip on reality is distorted, revealing the true horror among them and the manipulative demonic terror they have unleashed.

A First-Person Perspective Horror Movie

StoryboardWhat makes this horror film so special? It will be filmed entirely from the first person perspective of the main character, creating a unique “R” rated entertainment experience for the viewer, and the first of its kind experience in cinematic history. For horror fans, this just got real!

Experience Media Studios developed a specialized media solution called 3DPOV® for military training purposes. This will be the first time we apply our patent-pending capture and delivery technology to entertainment. 3DPOV® (meaning three dimensional first person point of view) is basically a way to capture 3D images and surround sound audio like a person’s eyes see and ears hear. The special media delivers to audiences an immersive experience like no other. We optioned the script from screenwriter 3DPOV®Jason Whittier (Waterfront Nightmare, The Secret Village) and have worked with him for months to customize his story to our technology.

A Little Background Info

Behind the ScenesMy name is Michael-Ryan, and I am the producer and director of this movie. I have been a filmmaker almost all of my life ever since my parents bought a home VHS camcorder. After working in television news for a few years after school, I moved to Hollywood to pursue a filmmaking career. From 1996, I worked mainly in the camera department as a crew member for nearly 10 years on hundreds of studio movies and television shows, learning my craft from the majors like Steven Spielberg, Michael Bay, Ron Howard, and Francis Lawrence, to name a few. In 2005, I began producing films and directing television. I have been devoted to producing and filmmaking steadily ever since. I have the creative vision and a reputation of finishing projects on schedule and under budget.

The Forger PosterIn 2009, I was fortunate to get the opportunity to launch and run Experience Media Studios, a next generation global media company specializing in movie and TV show innovation, investments, development, creation, management, licensing, and distribution across all current and emerging media platforms. We strive to give both our private clients and public audiences quality media. Last year, we released the Josh Hutcherson drama The Forger.

We are more than just a media studio, we are a technology company. Through my technical camera background we have developed this capture and delivery technology to fulfill a government need. But now we want to use it to tell entertaining stories and deliver them directly to you, the audience. Because we are in such uncharted territory with 3DPOV® entertainment, we need your help to make it happen with us!

We Need You To Pre-Buy This Movie

The concept that the people who would enjoy this movie the most will be a part of getting it made is really exciting. Why is it so important to prove that this is an effective way to make a movie? Because it means that filmmakers get to make the movies they want without interference and then keep profits when the movie sells, raTicketsther than changing the story to fit a focus group, or worse by giving away their rights to the big studio distributors who make all the money off their talent, vision and artwork. This means filmmakers can continue making stories that they can be proud of and that you will enjoy!

As you will see under our perks list, every single perk includes a “presale” of the movie, and at a 33% discount from the release price too! Need polarized 3D glasses to get the full experience? We’ve got you covered! We’ve also got great memorabilia for this movie like a frame of the movie, signed cast photos, and signed scripts. Not enough excitement? How about 2 VIP tickets to one of the exclusive theatrical screenings we will do on our five-city tour? Want your name on the big screen? We offer differeAudiencent screen credits, brand logos, and can even name one of the characters after you! For those hardcore horror fans who to be even more involved, we are offering a set visit and possible role as a background extra in the movie (lodging included), or test your acting chops with a small speaking role (air/lodging included) … and ACTION! We are also offering 3D goggles (not glasses) as perks for the two top contribution amount so that you will be able to experience the movie as it was made to be enjoyed!

Not Just A Movie, An “Experience”

My team and I are really excited to make this horror movie in August. I have made hundreds of studio and independent movies and television shows in various production crew roles during my 17-year career in Hollywood. The films I have produced have won awards and been recognized as thought provoking stories. But this is different because I think this is a game changer for storytelling all together. And you can be part of helping us create a new genre in filmmaking, like Blair Witch Project did to “found footage” movies. You won’t just watch this movie; you will experience it through the eyes and ears of the main character. That has simply never been done before.
