What's the Story?
The world is a big place, huge in fact. We could never hope to discover everything there is to see…could we? Well that’s exactly what happens in this new story wherein man has charted everywhere that there is to find on Earth. And while many are pleased with this historic achievement, not everyone is as enthusiastic. Noteworthy explorer, Nathaniel J Lockwood, is not only out of a job, but has now lost his life’s purpose to discover new places. What will he do now that his dream has been reached? Will he ever again be able to find something new and worthwhile to do with his life? As our hero undergoes this transformative journey, he will learn meaningful lessons about following one's passion, the importance of relationships, and the value of storytelling.

Our experienced team of professionals is ready to tackle this story head-on. However, taking on an enterprising project such as this isn’t easy. It requires a lot of time, planning, commitment, artistry, coordination, and, of course, financing. We’ve already begun to build our budget with the help of private investors, out-of-pocket savings, and by calling in all-manner of favors from across the area; but we’re not done yet, and that’s where you come in. We are turning to our loyal supporters who might not only be interested in backing the project, but being made a part of it in return for their generosity! Your kind contributions will help us fund…

Risks & Challenges
On any film production, one should always expect the best, but be prepared for the worst. Even after months of planning and scheduling, things can still go wrong. This is not necessarily the fault of the crew, this is life. And while there is always the chance things could go awry, our experienced crew has been trained to be ready for the unexpected, adapt to tight situations that may come along, and overcome any obstacles that might stand in our way.
