BRADLEE on IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt34772313/
Greetings, Indiegogo! My name is Zak Ferguson. I'm an autistic filmmaker, author, publisher, composer, and a film nerd of the highest order. I come from a seedy, grotty, whacky city called Brighton, on the cloudy coast of the UK. For the past eight years, I've been slowly evolving my “style” (I know, it sounds pretentious, but bear with me on this), crafting various mad-cap, seizure-inducing, hallucinatory, nightmarish, experimental short films.
For as far back as I can remember, I've been a massive fan of horror. This is why I'm here, talking about my feature film debut, BRADLEE.
I've contributed to various Indiegogo projects myself over the past decade, and I love the community, the passion of supporting each other, especially the push for physical media and championing indie filmmakers who are finding it hard to get a foothold in the filmmaking world.
To come together in a mutual goal to see someone’s vision come to the fore, and the result being, you got to help make this a thing, whether by donating, contributing, and the perks are there. Nothing feels better than getting an awesome perk that allows you to step into the world of the film and be immortalised on film or being credited on the film/on the poster, getting props from the film, or knowing you, YOU made this happen, and recognised for how you helped make this thing a reality.

What We Need & What You Get
As of now, the movie is half-finished. All we need is a little more cash injection to film additional sequences, big action-packed, gory scenes... With the ideas I have, the equipment I need, with that little injection, it will push this movie forward to the next level, to enable me to get the shots and scope I know BRADLEE deserves.
With your contributions, we'll be able to get the movie finished. We'll also be able to get a physical release and a streaming release on various VOD platforms. We don't need to raise too much to make BRADLEE a tangible, watchable, ownable movie.
Our perks are wide-ranging. From Having Your Face in the Film, to owning the Blu-ray or DVD, to getting an Associate Producer credit, Co-Producer credit, Executive Producer credit (on IMDb and in the finished movie and poster), to an opportunity to own some awesome props used to make this film.
If we don’t reach our goal, we'll still use what we raised to get this film made. Your perks will be fulfilled, no matter what. If our goal isn’t reached, if you have contributed you will still get your PERKS. In the worst case scenario, if we don’t reach our goal, I will plunge my hands in deep, I will go out on the streets and become a jester, to make sure you get your perks, and this film is released on physical media.

The Impact
Your contribution is making this movie a reality. Not only is it my dream, but I make the films I do because I enjoy them, and I know other people do, too. The problem is, surreal indie horror movies aren't championed as often as mainstream movies or given lots of marketing.
I want to change that. I want a Blu-ray packed with special features, with Behind-The-Scenes content that these kinds of films don't usually get ushered unto them. I want to show various cuts and iterations on the Blu-ray to highlight how your contributions evolved it from this little film I was trying to make on my own to something bigger and more powerful.
In so many ways, I want to normalize this kind of filmmaking. I want to show people a different way to look at movies and to try and highlight what it's like to live with autism. The meltdowns, pressures, and various overstimulations, but on film.

Risks & Challenges
The Risks are merely on our shoulders. You will get your perks, with or without reaching our goal. We will make it happen. It may take longer to get the film out on Blu-ray/VOD as we look for alternative avenues for investment, but it WILL HAPPEN.
Our executive producer Richard Burgin has years of filmmaking experience, including directing the feature film FANG (2022), and he's been involved in marketing a variety of projects. For me, like I've done all my life, I plough. I put not only my best foot forward. I put my whole body into it.

Other Ways You Can Help
If this movie sounds like it's right up your alley, but you can't afford to contribute right now, we really appreciate everyone who shares our campaign! If you like David Lynch, Peter Greenaway, Tobe Hooper, Sam Raimi, Gaspar Noe, Llyod Kaufman, Robert Morgan, Ben Wheatley, or Peter Strickland, BRADLEE is the surreal, psychedelic horror movie experience for you!
