Overview
We are artists. Through our art, we fight to open eyes and make a change. Mental illness is running rampant throughout our country and while most people turn a blind eye, we want to put it at the forefront of our film. This film’s goal is to tell a (bizarre) story about mental illness and the ways those afflicted can push beyond those barriers and create what matters to them most. As artists, it is our duty to tell stories that resonate with people, and A Ben Evans Film is one of those tales.

 

SYNOPSIS: Ben Evans is a kind, yet delusional forty-something who idolizes his favorite filmmaker, Jim Bradley. Jim's motivating and signature catchphrase "it's the doing that matters" inspires Ben to make a film using the only actors he can find: his recently dead parents. 

OUR GOAL: To raise the money we need through Indiegogo to make a short film that will serve as a concept piece to raise capital for a full-length version. (For investor relations please contact us at iamjames84@gmail.com)

Sky Elobar: Sky will be playing the title role of Ben Evans. His previous credits include The Greasy Strangler, New Girl, and Tropical Cop Tales. 

Dan Mitchem: Dan will be playing the supporting role of Roger. His previous credits include Spin, Love Comes to the Executioner, and A Mafia Movie.

James Henry Hall & Bret K. Hall: The nephew-uncle duo are directing the project. Their previous directing credits include Spin, Harbinger, and Dolus.
