Short Summary

"Tufford Kennedy's star is on the rise.  He's gifted with a creative vision and burning with stories to tell.  I can't wait to see what he does next." Mark Ellis - Creator and Executive Producer of Flashpoint (CBS/CTV)

The Cycle of Broken Grace is a short film that touches upon big themes in a fast dynamic way. It's an important, dramatic film which addresses the cycle of violence endemic to modern culture, and the fantasies we create to survive. Written and directed by Tufford Kennedy and starring Luke Bilyk.

** For the FUN INTRO with Luke And Tuff watch here** http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qm8_LgSkF7U

Bilyk or Brando??Luke Bilyk    ( www.lukebilyk.ca ) is one of Canada's hottest young faces! His huge and devoted fan-base screams loud and clear that Luke needs more film time. That's why we're so lucky that he's come on board before he's snatched up by Hollywood's 'A-list'. 

Your contribution will also help Tufford Kennedy shift over to the director's chair. Imagine that! You're creating a new director!! Primarily a performer, Tufford has over 18 years experience in the entertainment world, which translates into thousands of on-set hours. During this time he has written, performed and produced sketch and improvisational comedy with some of Canada’s best comedians, had principal and starring roles in film and television,  (performing alongside the likes of Reese Witherspoon, Christian Bale, and Natalie Cole, among others) starred in musical theatre, was flown to audition on Broadway,  and has been a principal actor in over 70 television commercials seen all around the world. A regular on Degrassi - the Next Generation, one of his episodes was nominated for an EMMY this year. 

What We Need & What You Get

We've set our goal at $21,000. It may sound like a lot but this actually represents the bare-bones financing to make the film. Because we will be using only ACTRA union actors, and hiring the most talented crew we can find, we have to be able to pay them. This goal doesn't allow us to pay them much. Thus our real goal is to go beyond the $21,000. We also intend on shooting in late February, when the film-industry is still in hibernation, to attract the highest number of discounted rentals.

Our unique perks will allow us maximize the money that will be directed to the film-making process. They also get you involved knowing that YOU are the one that makes this dream a reality. YOU are the one who is making this film possible!! Check out the perks and see which one really excites you!

In the sad case we don't meet our funding goals, you need to know what will we will do with the money.  Well, we'll make the film!! We may have to rewrite it, and rejig it, and shoot in a more guerilla style, but we will make the film!! It may not be the film we envisioned, but it will be the film. And we still are VERY thankful!!

Other Ways You Can Help

Some people just can’t contribute, but that doesn’t mean they can’t help:

Please help us to get the word out and make some noise about our film. There just may be people out there that are just looking for a film like this to use that wad of cash they've stashed under their mattress. 

You can also get the word out by using the Indiegogo share tools at the bottom of the page, use your own facebook, and twitter accounts, or just get off your butts and shout it at your neighbour! Any and all help is really REALLY welcome!!

And thanks again! You are as much a filmmaker as we are...because without YOU, this couldn't happen!!
