Short Summary

Detective Kelly Lang has her hands full as bodies start piling up with no evidence or leads that can help her track down the killer. All of a sudden, Martin Foster bursts into the station and admits to the crimes, saying that he's possessed by a demon that's actually killing people. With the help of Father Robert, they exorcise the demon in hopes that it'll go to hell and the killing stops. 5 years later, the killing begins again. With Martin still in prison, Kelly starts to suspect that she may have arrested the wrong person. At the same time, mysterious things start happening in her apartment. Does the supernatural exist? Or is this all in her mind?

After watching Scream 5, I had an idea for a future Scream film. One with an ending that would be the mother of all reveals. After months of sitting on this idea, I decided to make this story my own. I wrote the script and sent it off to film festivals around the world and have won multiple awards ranging from Honorable Mentions, Best Feature Scripts and even have gotten myself a Best First Time Screenwriter. Now it's time to bring this film to life with your help.

What We Need & What You Get

With this first round of funding, I'm looking to reach a minimum of $30,000. With just raising this amount, it will help get us started and filming can begin. The more we get the better of a film we can make. I'd like to make as great of a film that I possibly can. I have a bunch of different perks you can choose from and hopefully be able to put in more as we get closer to the end of the campaign.
