The Call To Arms...
We are looking for a grand total of $6,000 to fund this first short in the anthology. This will cover all pre-production, filming and post-production fees. That includes props, actors, travel expenses, and Replication of DVDs.
All perks are listed with Donation amounts.
In the event that production funds are not met through this campaign, other means of raising money for the remaining budget will be sought, but this may significantly delay filming.
