About The Project
Hi, my name is Nick Acosta. I am an avid horror fan, a YouTube content creator, and a filmmaker. I have been watching and talking about movies throughout my entire life. I became a fan of the horror genre when I was 6 years old and have always been fascinated with storytelling and allegories based on real life tragedy and events. It’s because of my own personal experience with almost losing my brother to a drug overdose in the year 2017, that I decided to write this film.
Addict tells the story of Daniel, a recently sober drug addict who falls back into a relapse and is stalked by a terrifying and disturbing entity.
Your contribution will help me have the creative freedom to tell the story that I have been planning for over the last 4 years.
How You Can Help
I am hoping to raise $4,000 for the project through this campaign. These contributions will go towards the equipment, the talent in front of and behind the camera, location expenses, travel expenses for shooting, catering for the crew during production, and festival submission fees. Attached below is a chart on how the funds will be divided up for production. See chart below.
The best thing about this campaign are the different perks that are offered with your contribution. You can see the different perks of this campaign on the right hand side of this page. Your contribution, no matter how big or how small, will help me make the best film possible for you. Thank you so much for your support!
The Impact
Addict is a film that was written about the horrors I faced after almost losing my brother to drug addiction. The damage that this addiction caused for my family and others. You will be supporting a young filmmaker who is working hard to become a professional in the industry. This story is a reflection of the real life horrors that we face in our everyday lives with our own addictions and personal adversities.
Risks and Challenges
Filmmaking is not easy and can get expensive. As a young filmmaker, I need all the help that I can get with making an ambitious project like this. Whether you are able to donate/contribute to this campaign or simply share this campaign with friends and family, you are helping me get closer to making this dream a reality. I have been in the pre-production stage for this project over the last 4 months and I am planning to begin shooting in the early months of 2022.
