Congratulations to everyone who contributed, offered support and spread the word, you have just helped to launch the movie Dark Sunrise. The donations of time, talent and facilities combined with the amount pledged has gone beyond any expectations! We are now in a great position to take it to the dark editing rooms, the darker halls of special fx and the darkest places of the underworld. Stay with us on Face Book and Twitter, watch for crows, we'll keep you posted as the film progresses, more announcements to come. From Greg and Hilary, cast and crew, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
THE STORY
We aren't going to reveal any spoilers
here! But here's a glimpse of the world we are exposing:
Three teenage girls, summer friends
since they were little, arrive at a summer resort with their families
for the annual vacation. However, this summer, a menacing creature,
part human, part unknown entity, has invaded the innocent world of
the girls, exerting a menacing control on one teen in particular,
with disastrous results.
OUR PASSION
Our passion is film! We've worked in
the business for years, from animating, animation directing to art
direction and special effects. We have been working on the
development and pre-production for Dark Sunrise on our own for the
last three years.
Now we are ready to shoot!
OUR AMBITION
We have a great script, an inspiring
location, and a very talented group of actors and crew.
This campaign is about financing, the
high paced, exciting work of filming on location. The funds raised
here will help us do it right, accommodating cast and crew, renting
equipment, and the vast amount of little things it takes to create a
feature film. We will further use our experience later in post
production, to shape the look and style of the film so the story
seamlessly transcends from one world to the next. If we can achieve
our goal here, then we can dig in and do what we do best in post. Not
only will your contributions help us with this stage of the movie,
but will also put us on the road to fulfill a trilogy. Yes there are
more tales to tell!
The Dark Sunrise story and the other
stories must be told.
BUDGET
Our collective knowledge and the
industry advice we get from our peers helps us get the best bang for
our buck! Where will the money go? Almost half our budget will go to
cinematography, camera, sound and lighting rentals. We feel strongly
that cast and crew need to be be paid. We can't pay a lot, but even a
micro budget indie film can do something, especially covering gas and
accommodation. On top of that we will pay our people a small
honorarium. They deserve it! Feeding all our wonderful actors and
amazing crew will eat up the rest.
THE PERKS!
We have exciting rewards and
opportunities listed in the column on the right.
CAN’T CONTRIBUTE

We appreciate everyone's help and
support. If you can't contribute, no problem. You can help us by
spreading the word. Help us get the Dark Sunrise message out to as
many people as possible. Share our campaign on Facebook, Twitter,
Instagram, Pinterest, however you can.
IN THE WORDS OF ERIN GIBBONS - CREEPY
They thought she only existed in the tales they told around the
campfire. They dismissed the wayward girl who prowled the woods as a
mere myth, nothing more than a childish legend. But when campers start
disappearing only to be found hours later brutally attacked as if by a
wild and terribly intelligent animal the myth of 'The Girl in the Woods'
becomes all too real. Dark Sunrise is an intense suspense thriller that
puts a disturbing modern twist on ancient mythology.
