Watch the first NINE MINUTES of the film RIGHT HERE!

Dry Spell is a feature length romantic comedy about a woman who is going through a divorce and preparing to enter the dating world. One night she discovers that her ability to become aroused has left her. In short, she’s dried up. Believing that this is caused by guilt about moving on before her ex-husband has, she embarks on a quest to get him laid.

With a screenplay by Kyle Hoskins and Travis Legge, Dry Spell is a sexy, smart, lewd and oddly touching (pun only halfway intended) story that focuses on the fact that getting divorced can do funny things to a girl.

We have an awesome, hysterical cast, including Suzi Lorraine, Amanda-Elizabeth Sawyer, Rachael Robbins and Heather Dorff (Take a look at our IMDB page to see who all is involved. Hilarious one and all!)

We managed to raise the production budget for our film between crowdfunding RIGHT HERE on Indiegogo and the faith of a few investors, we were able to shoot Dry Spell in New York City this past October.

The movie is already complete. There is no risk that you won't get to see it. You will. It's already done, we just need to get it out there.

 

This is where YOU come in.

What We Need & What You Get

We need to get the word out about our film. That means festivals, press kits, screenings and all that fun stuff, but our NUMBER ONE PRIORITY is to get the film to YOU, our audience.

• A direct digital download of the film for a mere $10 contribution! These will be made available beginning February 14th (per the U.S. side of the internationalo date line) and will be provided within 24 hours of contribution thereafter.
• Signed copies of the Dry Spell DVD!

The Impact

In 2009, I began the process of producing my first film, Raymond Did It. I sought traditional financing through investors. I borrowed money from friends and family as well as small business owners. I supplemented the budget with a bit of crowdfunding, and what I couldn't raise there I put up out of pocket. We filmed Raymond Did It in the summer of 2010. In February of 2011, we did a limited theatrical run, touring the film in Rockford, Illinois, Milwaukee, Wi, Elroy, Wi, Los Angeles, Ca, and New York, NY. Shortly after our theatrical run, we were picked up for international DVD distribution.

For several reasons that I simply cannot get into on a public forum, I am less than pleased with the way the traditional distribution model has panned out for us. Furthermore, when I've spoken of doing an indie romantic comedy, I've been told over and over again by traditional distribution outlets that "you can't make a successful independent romantic comedy without an A-List actor attached" I despise being told what I "can't" do and I want to make this movie my way, on my terms and tell the story I want to tell. So, I've decided to go a different route with this film.

We are going to self-distribute Dry Spell, using IndieGoGo as our primary outlet of distribution.

 

This project is our way of trying something different. Of screaming from the rooftops that we can successfully make an independent film, distribute it, and NOT wind up in the throes of bankruptcy or beholden to distributors who don't care about the project. We intend to show that Crowdfunding, Internet distribution and Social Media have made traditional methods of indie distribution obsolete. Help us show that by backing this project.

 

We will use funds raised through this IndieGoGo to earn back the initial investment in the film and to pay for submission to festivals/support screenigns/bring the film to a wider audience. However, regardless of the funds we raise here, our festival presence will be somewhat limited. This may well be your only chance to see the film!
