The Story:
If you think
back to classic fairy-tales there is a stark difference between how the
stories are perceived and the often less than perfect reality of the stories. This film is about a father telling his son an adventurous and exciting bedtime story filled with knights, dragons, kings, oh my! Little does the boy know, that this is a twisted account of his parents' expedition for love. The film will explore the worlds of both childish imagination and harsh adult perspectives.
Good Knight is a fantastical love story set in the 1940’s amongst
the dry, serene ranches of the central coast of California. It is a
story of love, forgiveness, and imagination.
Who We Are:
As our thesis project, this film will act as
the final capstone for our time at Chapman University. Four years of classes
and tuition has led us to this final project. We have already invested our own
time, energy, and money into this project, but we need your help to take it to
the next level.
We are passionate about our story. As we have developed the film
we have fallen in love with each of our characters. We relate to them in their
strengths and in their flaws and we know that as you become involved with our
project, you will begin to fall in love with these characters too.
What We Need &
What You Get:
Donated
funds will primarily go into creating our 1940’s and fairy tale worlds. There
will be many location fees, permit fees, lots of production and set design
costs, and equipment rental costs. We will also need to feed our large crew for
six days, provide environments that are safe and warm, and provide
transportation. Even after the actual filming, there will be other expected
costs, such as entry fees to film festivals. We are hoping to raise $15,000 to
cover the majority of these expected costs.
We
also want to reward the individuals who choose to support our film! From signed
copies of the script, to a meet and greet, we want to give
our supporters a piece of our production! And note, all perks are cumulative!
