My name is Haley Pucelik and I’m a film student at Chapman University, trying to make movies that make people laugh.  But not in the “that was a neat pun” way (even though puns are amazing) or the “ha-ha nice knock knock joke” way, but in the “why am I laughing at this?” way. 

Dark humor is the best kind of humor because it is real, and I want to make more of it.  Death in a Tweed Jacket is my Advanced Production, and with your help, I can make it everything it deserves to be.  The script is phenomenal: Death is a frustrated bureaucratic pencil pusher, the main character, Harry, is someone who can’t even get suicide right, and the ending features a twist that ties everything together. 

And I won’t be doing it alone.  I have a whole team of talented filmmakers behind me: screen writers, costume designers, actors, cinematographers, producers—everyone to make this movie (and your money) go as far as it possibly can.

There’s not enough dark comedy at the movies—everyone glosses over the good stuff.  There are certain jokes that people won’t make and certain problems people won’t poke fun at. However, I honestly believe that laughter is the best medicine, and if my film can make you chuckle and think at the same time, then I have done my job. This movie would be my biggest production yet, and something I want to be proud of.

And I’m not the only one counting on this.  Remember that team I was talking about?  All of those people are relying on this working out.  We’re all students, and we all need this opportunity to show the world what we’re about.  You’re helping more than one person.  Much more.

If this movie goes well, everyone involved will having something to show off—to their future employers who need good samples, to their parents who didn't think film production or theatre or screenwriting were good majors, and to themselves to prove that they are capable of this. 

And everyone else gets a good movie out of it, and something you can’t just pop into the theater and see.  What’s not to love?

Making movies is expensive.  Did you know it costs hundreds of dollars to buy the rights of that poster of a cat holding onto a branch that says hang in there?  Nobody alone has that kind of money, but maybe together we do. 

We need costumes, set materials, camera rentals, and money to feed all these hungry college students.  We also need to pay the people at a hardware store and apartment complexes to let thirty-some-odd youngins and all their fancy equipment inside to do the filming.  Everyone’s trying to get a pay off on this one, and it’s as simple as this: if we don’t have the funds, we can’t make the movie.

Believe me, this is a short film you will really want to see. Every donation over 20 dollars will ensure that you have a DVD/Blu-ray copy of Death in a Tweed Jacket. We also are in love with that cat poster, so with higher donations you can have one of your very own! Plus, if you give us the big bucks, we can fulfill your lifelong dream of being in a film’s end credits as an Executive Producer. It’s a pretty amazing opportunity.

Every little bit helps and hey, even if you don’t have the money, there’s a lot you can do.  If you want to see this movie happen, spread the word about this campaign, and maybe someone with a few bucks to chip in will.  When I finish the movie, it will also need exposure.  Even if you can’t contribute now, you can and should still enjoy the movie, and tell your friends when it’s out.
