Eyes of a Roman, a feature film by CJ Goodwyn

A Roman soldier’s life changes in an instant as he struggles with an inner conflict of allegiance the day before the final battle between the armies of Spartacus and Marcus Crassus.

Why we need your help

We turn to you, the film lover, to help fund our project.  We want Eyes of a Roman to have authentic wardrobe and set pieces.  We will also need help with post production costs like theatrical releases, marketing campaigns and editing. 

We are filming in Kerrville, Texas on 1600 acres of land. We are filming in the Winter to capture a true Roman wilderness landscape. We are also aiming to be as authentic as possible when it comes to our sets including tents, crossings and weapons.

By contributing to Eyes of a Roman you will be helping the Texas Film Industry with a great achievement in the Independent Filmmaker Community. All the contributions help toward authentic wardrobe and weapons for the time period, special camera equipment to get great action shots, SFX makeup (there will be blood!), lodging, restrooms for our Roman wilderness, and of course food/water.

We need your help to make this happen! Do it for Spartacus! For Crassus! For Romans and Barbarians! For Glory! For an awesome feature film!

Oh, and, we are going to follow CDC guidelines for Covid-19! That means masks and cleaning materials. 

To sum it up, more money means safety and comfort for our cast and crew who are all committed to making an authentic film.

Meet CJ Goodwyn the Writer/Director of Eyes of a Roman

 

“In my opinion without a strong team, you are nothing; A team is everything and if you have a great team they will be there to pick you up when you fall” - Filmmaker CJ Goodwyn


CJ Goodwyn..Writer/Director

Hello I'm a filmmaker out of San Antonio, Texas and the film Eyes of a Roman will be my fourth film I've written and directed.  My last film Jackson is out on Amazon Prime and is closing in on its one year release date this October 2020. 

Eyes of a Roman is a special project for the Independent industry in the state of Texas.  A Roman Period film doesn't come around too often and for us to bring it to life in our state. Show casing the talents from Texas means a lot to me and to everyone on the film. Before filming begins were expecting to have over 150 cast/crew members from the Texas Industry! 

Because of this we are asking for your help when it comes to financing and marketing Eyes of a Roman.  We not only want to make a fantastic film but we want the world to see it.  For that to happen we need a budget to help us market the film. With your help it is something we can achieve, giving Texan artists a chance to showcase their skills and talents.
