WHY INDIEGOGO

Vanessa del Rio's story is very unique and special. She fully embraced the sexual revolution lifestyle but never allowed herself to become a victim. The organized crime elements percolating underneath all the fun Vanessa and her friends were having set up a dramatic and often vicious narrative backdrop for the story as seen through Vanessa's young, rebellious eyes.

Our goal is to produce a high-quality, full-length feature film that is authentic and true to Vanessa's story in a way that the typical Hollywood studio system would not allow or even consider. We feel crowd funding allows us to create the kind of film you the audience truly wishes to see. We have a very dedicated production team that has worked on many film and video projects together, and we have an extreme level of passion for this project. We recognize your help and support provides us with the opportunity to really bring to life a story that's never been told in the right way, with no blinders on.

Our Indiegogo promo video was made possible with the much appreciated help of these creative and talented people:

Director Of Photography - Peter Leininger & Peter Derylo

Editor and Visual EFX - Janette Lopez

Photographer - Ricardo Cuevas

Color Correction - Andrew Drapkin & Samantha Noon
