Hello Everybody. This is yet another short film fundraising campaign.

Now look I know how it is. Normally when money exchanges hands a product or service does as well. Short film fundraisers are... different. Yes I am making a product, a short film, but having been the contributor to many campaigns, I know that you're probably not particularly interested in  seeing the content I am creating. You have billion dollar companies creating content curated for you that you still have yet to catch up on, so why would my short film rank as more important?

The truth of the matter is that I have the utmost faith in the film I am creating and believe it will be something special. However, I understand that for you the real incentive to donate is as a means of showing interest or kindness to me and the other folk working very hard to make it.

This is why I've decided to structure the campaign a little differently than my contemporaries. The incentives will range in nature. Some will be serious regular perks, others will be gag humor, while still more will simply make me suffer for your enjoyment. I want the creation process of this film to be fun for everyone, including those that contribute monetarily to its creation!

So take a look below! See what incentives might interest you and feel free to reach out on any of our social media! We'll be creating content up to the release that will detail the production process and be funny in its own right.

 

STRETCH GOAL:

$10,000 – I will find a way to make this film regardless of what is raised, but if we raise this amount I'll have enough to make the film comfortably. To celebrate I’ll dye my hair any color that y’all vote for. I’ll setup a twitter poll and everyone who has donated will get the chance to vote on a color for how my hair gets dyed.

A HANDWRITTEN LETTER

$20 USD
To be honest I don’t want you to do this one. I have terrible handwriting and it takes me forever. Plus I’ll have to go to the post office and buy stamps. Don’t get me wrong I’ll write you a nice letter but it’ll look like a 5-year-old wrote it. Seriously you might not be able to read all of it.

CHEESESTEAK LUNCHEON

$40 USD
I will take you to my favorite cheesesteak spot in Los Angeles and split a cheesesteak with you. You’ll have to remind me you’re in town but I’ll take you to Boo’s because I love going there and we’ll split a cheese steak. Just to clarify when I say split I mean that I am getting half of the cheesesteak. Hoagies are fine as well.

  • CHEESESTEAK LUNCHEON

I WILL GIVE YOU A BOX

$100 USD
I figured since the movie is about someone who finds an empty box that just appears in their place I’d be cheeky and offer you the same thing. To be clear though this is just an empty box. Nothing will be inside, It’s not going to be a special box. However I will do my best to put some ghost or demon or whatever into this box.

GHOST PEPPER CHALLENGE

$300 USD
If you donate $300 I’ll eat a ghost pepper and send you the video. I handle spicy food pretty well but I've heard this can kill you so donate at your own risk... well my risk.

ASSOCIATE PRODUCER CREDIT

$500 USD
This is one of the real incentives. If you have anything you’re trying to do this is a quick way to grab my attention and get me to work with you on future projects. This… this is why Hollywood is the way it is.

I'LL GET A PIERCING

$700 USD
If you want to see me suffer this is pretty straight forwardly it. To be clear I don’t have any piercings and I don’t want any piercings. I’ve seen the videos and it looks excruciating. But if you like to watch other people suffer, or in particular me, I will, to the disappointment of my family, get one and film the process for you to laugh at.
Included Items
  • I'LL GET A PIERCING

EXECUTIVE PRODUCER

$1,000 USD
Again, this is an actual incentive, not a jokey one. Executive producer titles carry weight and I'd be super down to help you with anything you're looking to do down the road.
