Short Summary

   This is a story about family. How Denis Sauvé (So-vay) almost loses his family following a tragic accident. And how his son Daniel saves him by teaching him the true meaning of family and belonging.

   It is a story of how guilt and remorse are overpowered by innocence.

   But most of all, it is a powerful story that redefines the meaning of what it is to be a family.

   This is why we have chosen to give our perks a family theme.

   We hope you enjoy browsing through them. For the items marked with an asterisk (*), we invite you to visit our website (www.ghthefilm.com/photos) where we have posted a gallery of the photos on offer. While on the website, you will also get to meet the film's creative team.

   Thanks for stopping by and please tell your friends. We'd love to have them join our Going Home Family.

  NOTE: We forgot to mention this in our original posting of the perks, but everyone who contributes will be listed in the film's Thank Yous (unless you choose to remain anonymous, of course).

A Word from the Writer

After spending 20 years acting, directing and translating for stage and screen, bringing over 100 stories to life, I decided to write my first screenplay. It's a very special little film; a poetic and touching drama about family, loss, remorse and the redeeming power of love. Given the tremendous talent of the people who have been drawn to this project, I'm confident the film can be very successful on the international festival circuit. But to get there we need money to produce this short film with the high level of quality this story deserves. You can help make this happen; with your support we can bring this story to the world.

- Allan Michael Brunet

The Budget

OK, so this is where the money is going:

   As you can see, we actually need a little more than the $20 000 we are aiming to raise here. That's because we are also pursuing other fundraising options and hope to raise the rest through those avenues.

  We would also like to direct your attention to the right-most column. This shows supplies and services that people are donating to the project so that we can make this film. So don't worry if you see our total actually exceed our goal (every Indiegogoers dream) - the money will be well spent. 

Other Ways You Can Help

   OK, so you can't afford to give any money to our campaign, we understand. But if you have read this far then you are obviously interested in what we're doing, so you can still help.

   All you need to do is LIKE this campaign (link below the video), visit our facebook page (www.facebook.com/GHTheFilm) and give us a Like there, FOLLOW us on Twitter (www.twitter.com/ghthefilm) and SHARE with your friends: let them know that we're working on a really special little film and all we need is a small contribution from a large enough number of people to make this thing happen.

   Thanks for being there. We look forward to sharing our story with you.
