HELLO CRUSTIES! (NAME FOR CRUST FANS):  I WANT TO TELL YOU WHY WE WANT THIS MADE.

It's me, Sean Whalen.  As a lot of you know I am a long time character actor.  If you didn't know here is my IMDB:

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0923490/?ref_=nv_sr_1  

I have worked in many genres including horror and comedy.  Two of my favorites.

I have been very lucky in my career.  Recently I went through some large personal changes that shook me to the core.  I got a divorce, moved, and my father passed within the same year.  I went through a year of heavy anxiety and depression.  I worked hard in therapy and came out the other end, but I realized something.  We ALL suffer sometimes.  ALL OF US.  Then I sat down with a good friend, Jim Wald and wrote a story: A story of a lonely depressed man, Vegas Winters, who has a sock monster which grew from his tears.  The sock monster defends, protects, comforts, and kills for him.  But don't' worry, it's not pretentious or self righteous.  It's a horror comedy.  It's fun, it's different, and it has a heart.  The heart is Crust.  Because I believe we would all love to have a little monster that would do anything for us when we are in our darkest times.  

We want to tell this story.  We want you all to see it.  So we are trying to raise the money for physical production to start.  The independent movie world has changed and most films that remain creatively unique are made outside of the studio system.  So, I have surrounded myself with people who are passionate and uplifting to help me.  We hope you can help, too.  Because I believe, if you have experienced any tough times in your life, the power of movies to escape from that pain is transcendent.  But, it is also nice to feel like you are not alone.  That everybody hurts.  And everything will be okay if you want it to.

Thank you for helping.  CRUST will hopefully mean as much to you as it does to us.

So, tell your friends, family, whoever you want, to help us out.  It WILL be worth it.
