Two young women have been trapped working at Danny’s Diner for most of their young lives and they cannot take the abysmal conditions any longer. But just as they are about to set the place ablaze, in walks a mysterious, delirious and hungry stranger. This man sees Danny’s as a Mecca, a beacon of hope, beauty and deliciousness, and he won’t take “we’re closed” for an answer. Tonight the fate of this diner, an enchanting family restaurant or a cesspool, a heaven or a hell, hangs in the balance.

After the success of our first film HEARTACHE, Page 8 Pictures is producing our second film. We are cooking up something whackier, deadlier and more delicious this time around. If you've ever hated every waking moment of your job or loved a breakfast omelet with your whole soul, this film is for you.

We want to hire more fantastic artists and we are raising funds to pay our crew and cast industry rates. So many young production companies pay with "exposure" and end up exploiting their workers. We also need help finding and renting our titular diner, not to mention buying the french fries (there will be a lot of french fries).

Welcome to Danny's, the best and last meal you'll ever need!

Off Route 8 and filming this November.

What We Need & What You Get

Without the people and the place, this film cannot get off the ground. We have $5,000 so far and we need at least $15,000 more to get this thing off the ground.  The rest comes down to:

  • $6,000 to rent the beautiful, haunting diner of our dreams.
  • $6,000 for crew labor (assistant director, art director, 1st & 2nd assistant camera, sound mixer, costumer,  hair & make up artist and production assistants).
  • $3,000 for miscellaneous expenses (including getting a stuffed goose.  We wish we were joking.)

Other Ways You Can Help

  • Share this link with your rich friends or your rich boss. They probably like movies too!
  • Stay tuned for our upcoming proof of concept for HEARTACHE and follow us @page8pictures on IG
