Synopsis
Davy, a directionless office worker, is called into his boss's office one day and given his first big task: a quest for a mythical emerald. Even though this isn't in his job description, he accepts. There's just one problem: he's red-green color blind.
What We Need
Filmmaking is expensive. We're already saving money by being film students (yay free labor!) but we still need to buy props, feed our crew, rent additional gear, and start college funds for our first-born children (yet to be born). We have meticulously priced out this venture to cost $6,000 and have a full breakdown of where the funds will be going.
Post: $500
Locations: $1,000
Costumes: $300
Contingency: $650
Gas Reimbursements :$600
Crafty: $1,600
Festivals/Marketing: $500
Props: $850
TOTAL: $6,000
A Note From Our Director, Jaden Doyle
I’m making this movie because I thought of the sentence “We need to get you started on your emerald quest” and wrote a script about it. I thought it was funny, and some other people did as well. That’s all I really want to do, share stuff I think is funny, and hopefully other people can laugh at it too.
Another thing I’m looking forward to doing is displaying what I’ve been honing for the past three years of my education, and in a way my entire life. My writing, my directing, and my editing. I’ve been doing these as a hobby since I was a 10 year old with a flip camera in a basement, and I want to keep doing it until I’m a 90 year old with a flip camera in a basement. This movie is just another step in the process towards that, and I’m excited to take that step, and the many more after it.
