The Story

Thank you so very much for taking the time to view this campaign I will try to make this quick. My name is Donnell "Jus" Riley and I am asking for help so that I can make my short film called "Chronicles Of It". Above is a short trailer that I put together with help of some friends in hopes that the video would spark some interested within you. The actual film will have professional SAG actors and crew involved. I am currently in talks with actors that have had major roles in such films as "The Royal Tenenbalms" and "The Wire". I came up with this story while on a year deployment to Afghanistan. In this story we meet a serial killer named Mateo, who strongly believes that people need to take responsibility for our actions and not put it off on "GOD" or chalk it up to "The Way Life Is". Mateo, although self righteous is correct on his assumption of mankind and has taken it upon himself to "Save" mankind from themselves. Mateo tries to do this by giving Ada B. Rudia, a young reporter, the interview of a lifetime. This film attempts to deliver its point of view in an entertaining and non preachy way. I have put over a year and a half into developing this script and I am finally ready to start production, but in order to do so I need your help.

The Impact

If financing is not secured the film can't be made. Unlike many other campaigns on the site, I have the means and capabilities to edit and do color correction, but I don't have the capital to upkeep a set for 4 days. I want to be able to have a set where the actors and crew are happy, motivated, and well taken care of. In order for me to do this I need to be able to get the equipment that they need to do a great job, I need to be able to have safe and reliable transportations for everyone, and most importantly I need everyone to be well fed. This will be the first project that I have written to be entered into film festivals around the country and me being an Army Infantryman I don't know how to not give my all.


What We Need & What You Get

We are looking for $5000, this money will allow us to secure the following equipment and services; Director of Photography with a Canon 5D kit, Lighting Kit Rental, 2 Van Rentals, Location Rental (3 Different Areas), Sound Equipment Rental, Insurance For 4 days, Catering For 4 Days, NYC Permits, Wardrobe For a Total of 7 Actors, Photographer, Poster and Promotional Designer, and Film Festival Fees. If we don't raise the full $5000 on this site we hope to make up the difference with the money we raise from a Sunday Brunch/ Jazz Dance we are planing to do in April. We appreciate any amount that you donated and to show you how much we do appreciate you support we plan on giving everyone a ticket to the private screening of the finished film in NYC. The screening will be done even before we enter it into the festivals.


Other Ways You Can Help

If you are not financially able to help it's ok, we just ask that you share this page with friends and family. We understand that times are hard for some and I really do thank you for taking the time to view and read this campaign. It has been a very long road for me to get to this point in my life and I am humble and thankful for any and all support that I receive.

Thank you again and be well.
