The Plot
Barry Price had a devil of a good time riding the wave of success as a gambler who could do no wrong. He parlayed his luck into a five-year winning streak placing bets for a crime boss and living in his largesse. As Barry’s luck changes he realizes his life has been built on a fault line that is shifting. Can he pull it back together for one final run in Vegas long enough to save his love and his life?
Check Out What You Get For Contributing to BARRY PRICE
Anyone who has ever attempted to make a film of any length can wax poetic on the challenges of financing production, publicity and distribution. With this fund raising campaign, my hope is to somewhat off-set some of those obstacles, making BARRY PRICE a truly independent work produced by people who want to see the spirit of good ‘ole fashioned American filmmaking continue. All funds will be used toward the production and publicity of the 15 min. featurette and toward pre-production and principle photography for a projected 90 min. feature length. The ultimate goal is that feature. And we aim to achieve it. But one thing you eventually learn in HOLLYWOOD... one step at a time, baby.
All contributions will be applied to the following:
- Location Expenses
- Post
- Lighting & Equipment Rental
- Cast & Crew
- Advertising

Christopher Boggs Films:
As a filmmaker, I have become increasingly more interested in the fusion of real people and real stories with a fictional story. With the noir project BARRY PRICE, my goal is to further realize that vision by eskewing the anecdotal narrative and fully- realized screenplay in favor of a brief (six- to seven-page) structured improvisation outline and the use of mostly non- professional actors. Shot quickly with a small crew and a high-definition consumer SLR camera over a hand full of weeks, BARRY PRICE is a picture rooted in the love of acting and the enjoyment of watching behaviour unencumbered by the artifice of traditional plot. I’m convinced that artistic challenge (and gains) that can be achieved through presenting something that seems like it is
really happening in front of you, are more significant than the gains you get from something that doesn’t seem real - but is better
constructed.
