The Followed Team:
- Followed Movie was conceived by the brilliant writer Todd Klick, #1 bestselling author of Something Startling Happens, among many other writing accolades . The script came to life with the dedication and passion of a strong cast and crew that believed in the project and have created a film that anyone who loves good entertainment, thrill and horror will want to see!
- This is an independent film, which unlike bigger studio films can be challenging to fund. This film is not only a work of art in its own right but is a platform that supports the dreams and aspirations of a talented cast and crew that have dedicated their lives to bringing art and entertainment into the world. Every project that is of quality and that is contributing to the entertainment business in a positive way deserves support, and must be given the opportunity to thrive and to be seen. Followed takes the audience out of their daily existence, on a journey of adventure and thrill.
- "We" (the followed cast and crew), live for the art of filmmaking and are here to contribute by dedicating the fruits of our labor with passion to the film industry. The cast include:
- The legendary John Savage ("The Deer Hunter", "Hair") as Professor Wallace, Matthew Soloman as Mike who charms us into the mayhem that unfold throughout the film, Tim Dier as the nervous and cautious Chris, Sam Valentine as the audacious camera operator Danni, Kelsey Griswold as the caring, loving and superstitious Jess, Caitlin Grace Utting as the hard edge computer tech Nic.

Risks & Challenges
In order to have the film completed at a high quality we need to invest in a color correction specialist and a sound design specialist. Without these jobs being completed at an expert level, the film will not meet theatre standards. The goal is to submit Followed to the following film festivals: Sundance, Cannes, Toronto film festival, SXSW, Venice film festival, Berlin film festival, New York film festival, Tribecca Fand LA film festival! We want to see Followed screen in theaters and proudly show the hours of effort and love that have gone into this film, and deliver a quality film that gives the audience the ultimate cinematic experience. So in order to make this happen we do need help in investing in these jobs being completed!
Other Ways You Can Help
Some people just can't contribute financially, but that doesn't mean they can't help:
- As we are asking for financial help and we know not everyone is in a position to help on a monetary level, however you can still help in other ways that are highly valuable to our project being completed, by promoting Followed movie and this campaign to your social media platforms and getting the word out to the people that CAN donate! Remember every dollar helps and WILL add up to hitting our goal!
- Please share on Facebook Twitter and Instagram and get your friends family and anyone who is passionate in supporting film to pledge and make this film happen soon! The trailer speaks for itself! Please please please share!!! Thank You!
