YES! FINAL STRETCH GOAL HIT - thank you all!
We are now prepping the movie for production. Your support has been deeply appreciated!!
Hello there, I'm Ron Bonk, owner of SRS Cinema (an indie production & distribution company now in its 31st year). I am again working with director Evan Jacobs ("Death Toilet") to bring you an exciting, fun and scary production that adds a hilarious twist to a well loved horror series with "Amitvyille Backpack"!
The plot follows a rather hapless dude who buys a backpack at a garage sale. When people around him turn up dead, he comes to believe his new accessory may be to blame. Tracking its history, he discovers it has connections back to a haunted house in a small town called Amityville...
This is your chance to be a part of an awesome production with this legendary filmmaker - Evan has been working nearly as long as me - and help us make the movie bigger and better!

We've set the goal low - just $1000. This is not the budget of the movie, but it will help us make the movie that much better - plus by setting a low goal, we are hoping to be funded early and get the movie trending! The money raised here will help us bring in talent, order props, create the special effects, and feed/shelter the talent. Evan has such great ideas, and - based on the prior work we have seen of his - just the right sense of humor for this. Seriously, have you seen the zany "Death Toilet" series?! This is your chance to not only help him continue his historic filmmaking career, but also get your name billed alongside his. You can be listed in the credits for a "special thanks" all the way on up to top billing as an executive producer! You can also take advantage of some campaign specific perks, such as our mini-posters and t-shirts (both feature art exclusive to this Indiegogo campaign only), or try your hand at some acting with our "voice in movie" or "newscaster" perks. And you can even cross promote your own efforts - grab our podcast perk and introduce our vast base of followers/fans to YOUR show!
Every penny helps, so even if we don't hit our goal, the money will go directly to the production to deliver the very best movie possible.
You all know what it's like to work on a labor of love - and that is what Evan is doing here. He isn't making a living off his productions, but he keeps making them, and at a record pace. We're planning many more movies with this prolific story-teller. I've produced many movies, and many more with other filmmakers, and I have a reputation of getting these projects delivered and out into the market, and my prior campaigns have rave reviews. Between Evan and myself, we will deliver beyond expectations. Stop investing in filmmakers who never get their movies done - THIS WILL GET DONE AND QUICKLY! Being involved with SRS means exposure - You can watch our movies all over the world - North America, Japan, across Europe, South America and more - VOD on the biggest outlets (iTunes, Vudu, Amazon, etc), physical media on Blu-ray, DVD and even VHS, and on the shelves of the biggest retailers around (Walmart, Best Buy and more). Your support helps us get the movie done, and in turn you can get your name on the movie for fans everywhere to see your dedication, support and love.

Again, I have a reputation for finishing movies and getting them out. This is not another campaign where you invest and the movie disappears without a trace - IT WILL GET MADE AND RELEASED!
Like I said, every $ helps, but if you can't contribute, you can still help. PLEASE spread the word - send it out to friends and fellow film lovers who you think might want to grab a perk, share on all your social media (see the Indiegogo sharing tools for help), talk it up weekly, even daily. Share your excitement - this is truly the best PR and the best way to make a project go viral. When the fans speak up and let others know this is a movie they can't wait to see, others will stop and take note.
Thank you, stay well out there, and watch/support something different today!
