Summary
Hey there, my name is Andy Rossi, and this is my feature film directorial debut! I've created a sketch comedy web-series, written/directed a few short films, and been an actor for over a decade. Originally from Chicago, I've been creating my own content, since I was about 13 years old making movies, music videos, and skits on a Hi8 camcorder, in my parent's basement.
This particular script came to me after an acting exercise, which led to the thought of shooting a new Short Film. However, some peers suggested it may be better suited as a Feature Film. So, I buckled down, furthered the script, had a very successful table read, and now we have a feature.
I am making this film primarily to showcase Actors that may not be household names, but they have the talent to contend with those who do. The talented actors in this film, I've personally worked with in other projects, acting classes, performed improv with at the Groundlings, or admired their worked and begged.
Similarly, I've got an amazing Director of Photography and Sound Operator on board, which I believe are super important to making the perfect film.
What We Need
Basically, I am self-funding this whole crazy feature. My goal is to make a film that at the end, the audience will say "well, that sure was fun!" But, to get the right Camera, Props, Special Effects, and Lighting without spending some dough is ridiculous. We've tried that before, and there are too many problems to list in this space, for nickel-and-diming your film. So, with your help, we can shoot it, edit it with all the right aspects covered, and ultimately deliver a kick ass project.
The Impact
We have an entertaining script. We have talented Actors, Cinematographer, and Sound to make this thing look and sound great, but we do need a little help to ensure our project turns out professional and fun. That's where YOU come in. Any donation, would be appreciated, and will be put to great use.
My biggest hope is that this film opens the doors for all of us involved and keeps the creative momentum going.

Have Mercy,
