AGENTS!
Welcome to the Ghost Soldiers fundraising page!
We are so appreciative of you stopping by to check out our project. This project is two years in the making and we are very excited to be moving into this next phase of the film.
So what is this next phase? For those of you that are not familiar with sites like this, this is where artists can come to the public with their ideas/projects to get funding. That is exactly what we are doing. Our project is a feature film titled, "Ghost Soldiers." This film is an action spy thriller about a retired secret agent pulled back into service to help hunt down a rogue operative. The film is packed with twists and turns, drama and action. It’s going to be an awesome ride.
But before we can take people on that ride we need to get this film off the ground! Some films try to raise their entire budget needs on campaign sites like this. We, however, are doing things a little different. We are raising seed money for this film. Like any business, we need start up capital to get everything rolling. There are items such as legal fees (that's a big one!), casting agency expenses, equipment tests, and promotional materials that we need to attain in order to achieve the budget we are aiming for.
So what is our budget? Why can't we try to achieve that goal here? Well, without going into too many boring details we are in the seven-figure range. WHOA! Now that’s a lot of money. What makes our film different and more exciting than the rest is we’re not making an internet movie. We are making a feature film with top of the line equipment and top of the line actors (from Hollywood and Denver!). This is the real deal!
"Ghost Soldiers" will be a film you see in theaters, not on Youtube. But in order to get there, we need your help. We completely understand that not everyone can donate, but there is something everyone can do, spread the word! Share this link on Facebook, email, text, linkedin, whatever. Get this out there to everyone you know and before you know it, with you're help we will get the seed money we need to begin producing this film!
The above video was produced for $90.00….just $90! Imagine what we could do with a real film budget! If you are interested in becoming more involved financially and would like investment information please feel free to contact us for more information.
Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts for stopping by! We can’t wait to start this adventure! SPREAD THE WORD!
A little about us and our city!
"Ghost Soldiers" will be shot in the beautiful city of Denver Colorado! The city is filled with amazing locations. From the perfect skyline at sunset to the majestic Rocky Mountains, Denver has a little of everything. There is also an incredible pool of talented actors and film crew that has been multiplying since the passing of Colorado's most recent film incentive. The popularity of the city has been growing over the last few years and now is the perfect time to take advantage of what Denver has to offer.
Michael and Matthew graduated from Colorado Film School and The University of Colorado at Denver and have both made Denver a home. After graduating, both Michael and Matthew gained constant industry experience on short films, commercials, corporate videos and feature films. Between the two of them, they have held every job there is to have on a set. After meeting on a feature film in 2011, Michael came to Matthew with a script for "Ghost Soldiers." Matthew quickly agreed to come on board and a film was born.

The story:
Tom was one of the best at his job, and only the best can be a Ghost Soldier. Ghost Soldiers are highly skilled and deadly secret operatives. After years of service, the assignments he was given became too much for Tom, he had to get out...and he did. An early retirement deal was made with his superiors and Tom slipped quietly into the world...but his retirement was short lived.
David Walker, Ghost Soldier gone rogue, steals secrets that could overturn the world as we know it. Like Tom, Walker is exceptional at what he does. Being Walker's only match, Tom is called back into "the work" to lead an elite team of assassin code named, SANDMAN. Their mission is to hunt down Walker and reclaim the stolen goods. Knowing how dangerous a rogue ghost soldier could be and with the fate of the world in the balance, Tom accepts the call and leads the team.
Hot on the trail of Walker, Tom and his team find themselves in Denver Colorado. A plan is put in place to capture Walker and retrieve the goods, but something doesn't feel right to Tom. The green light is given, the plan is set in motion and all hell breaks loose as an awesome game of cat and mouse is set into motion!
