We want to bring this movie to you and zombie lovers everywhere in the world at the same time! And that is why we have chosen crowd funding. We believe a film needs to be available to you – the audience – who decides when, where and how to view. That’s the reason we need your support. Help us raise the money for the E-19 virus movie, the next best zombie movie and be a part of history
The whole production budget E-19 is $75,000. From that we have secured $145,000 and $5,000 through an outside investor. Josh Pickel will star in the film
We need to raise $50,000 through crowd funding. Any contributions above and beyond our goal will be used in better makeup fx, visual fx, and of coarse CGI fx. We are putting every dime we have and that we raise into the film to produce the best product possible.
$50,000 isn't much to start a feature film, but it will pay for the broad strokes and many of the big ticket items we need like equipment rentals, locations, make up, food, labor costs, lumber for sets, some fees for zombie extras, and costumes. The rest we are getting donated in either free services or reduced rental contracts.
So, what we have here is a commando style production team of versatile film professionals working on a stellar movie concept with the best possible cinematic equipment at terrific locations with an extremely talented cast and production team. The movie is directed by award winning director Joe Ciminera
From it's inception, the movie was designed with the budget in mind. Since we are using one location (CT) as our main location, we have very few company moves. That saves time and money. The interior sets will be constructed in a warehouse at another location where we can work more quickly with controlled lights and moveable walls.
