Announcing a new Movie Project from a Grand Rapids, MI based Creative Producer! Please review the provided press release for the upcoming ticket pre-sale/crowd-funding campaign for the independent feature movie:
Becoming Emily
While one ticket to the exclusive online premiere is a modest $10 each, for less than the cost of actually going to the movies, the Unique "Mini-Producer" Tier ($25 each), gives the Audience a unique opportunity to be recognized by joining their name to the list of "Mini Producers" in a special End Credit Sequence!
The goal is to raise the target budget of $100,000 for production. This budget would pay for cast & crew, physical production, including legal contracts & administration, locations & equipment rentals, insurance, post-production as well as some limited promotion.
Utilizing the traditional distribution model of ticket pre-sales to pay for production, aligned with contemporary crowd-funding techniques to help raise the production budget of $100,000.
Anything raised above that goal would be invested in the creation and promotion of this project. If the minimum goal is not met, everyone who supported the project would get their money back.
Happy to answer any questions, please feel free to reach out for more information.
Thank you!

The Movie: A genre bending murder mystery that unites an estranged Homicide Detective with the 16 year-old Daughter he's never met. Using the psychic abilities inherited from her biological mother to find her father, she accidentally becomes the target of a ruthless Gang of Human Traffickers. The Father/Daughter reunion becomes a deadly race to expose the Bad Guys and save the Captive Children before worse happens.
The Producer: Written and Directed by Independent Creative Producer Brad Havens, this project is intended to be the first of several movies from MountainFire Media produced in Western Michigan. By joining locally with Creative Talent on both sides of the camera, adding over 20 years of production experience from the Los Angeles area, the goal is to build an Entertainment Industry that can support a vibrant Creative Community as well as serve outside production opportunities seeking to take advantage of the many benefits of making movies in West Michigan.
Brad Havens Quote #1: "I believe there is an untapped Community of Talent that has an interest and ability that deserves to be recognized. The best way to do that is to provide real opportunities to work and be paid making movies without having to move to another part of the country. This movie project, Becoming Emily, is intended to be a step in that direction."
Brad Havens Quote #2: "I know that I am not alone in recognizing that Grand Rapids is uniquely situated, not only as a hub for multiple industries, but also as an access point to many interesting and important communities in and around West Michigan, which is fantastic for building mutually beneficial production opportunities."
