Short Summary
Hi! We are Shadow Diamondz Global Entertainment, or Shadow Diamondz Pictures.
A young film production company derived of Directors, Cinematographers, Actresses, Actors, Photographers, Graphic Artists, Editors, and Sound Engineers.
Most of us are fresh out of film school with degrees and some of us are still learning. Our goal as a company is to teach and inspire the freshest talent and write and produce insightful scripts.
Our campaign is for the necessary funding required to make this great script into an awesome film. Our film A Rage in Her Heart is a story that touches on trust and the long term effects of abuse. Even though this story is a fiction. It tells a story of a young woman as she attempts to believe in herself, after years of hiding her true self as she finds courage to confront her fears.
A portion of your contributions will help cover payment for a stunt coordinator to guide the actresses in the powerful scene where ASIA confronts her abuser Ms. DEVOE. This scene ends with the abuser getting killed, and we want the actors safety to be of the highest priority. Another portion will cover the Insurance for this scene, since it is intricate, it exceeds the insurance price we mainly acquire. The rest of the proceeds will go towards the make-up for the wound and rental of lights for this scene. As you could read this is a very important scene from the film and visually we don't want to portray it incorrectly.
What We Need & What You Get
- We are seeking 2000$ in funding, to add to our budget of $5000. We are using a payroll company to allocate funds to all the cast and production team.
- We have a scene which requires fake credit cards, and since we want to film the best rendition possible we are going through a prop company to print them up for our production. Make-up is also very important in this film. We would like to dress up our wounds for our death scene to match the directors vision to the best of our ability without compromising quality. A portion of the funding would be used for retaining a talented MUA for a reasonable but worthy price..
- We have some awesome perks for you guys! From autographed T-Shirts, a director signed script, even being an extra on set. We know money doesn't come easy and if you took a risk and interest in us, we would love to repay that with some awesome gifts!
- If our goals aren't met then our film loses the ability to shine a light on a emotional subject the effects the weak and the strong equally. Not just do we want to shock you with the realities of young woman seeking validation in the skin entertainment life, but we also want to use our platform to enlighten viewers.
The Impact
- The thoughts and views that are expressed in this film are derived from exploring the skin entertainment industry as a son of a stripper, brother of a stripper and father to two young women whose mothers were strippers.
- This isn't our first film project but our first crowdfunding project. We have gained some deep experience from our first production and have some great plans to market and share this film to film festivals and movie theaters.
- The writer has a deep curiosity for relationships and how common almost simple things bring people together. As a production company we want to use all the resources to obtain all the elements to portray this honest vision by expanding on this story in its entirety. Who knows with the right marketing this could become a full feature.
Risks & Challenges
We have never produced a film with so much intricacies, from the choreographed fight scene, down to the details of the seduction robbery scene, but it is a risk and a challenge we are willing to undertake.
- The cast and crew truly believes in this film and its power to give a voice to negatively painted women.
- Our cast all has a deep understanding of what it takes to make this film a great piece of storytelling and they have demonstrated that they are prepared along with our crew to use what he have learned through experience and application to get our story to film.
