Help us spread the word!

We’ve completed our documentary, "I Stand Alone: The Sully Erna Story" and now we need to let people know that it’s out there. That’s where you come in. We’re raising funds for our marketing and promotional expenses.

Since this was a 100% independent project without the support of a studio of any kind, we need your support to help make people aware of our film.

The perks that you will receive range from damn good Karma all the way up to Executive Producer credits with a whole bunch of added perks including VIP passes for you and your guest to upcoming Godsmack concerts. Other perks along the way include: Exclusive Digital Downloads with footage only available to backers, DVDs. Movie t-shirts, Signed Movie Posters, Signed Lyric Sheets, and combinations of all of the above, all exclusive to our backers!

Your backing will buy advertising time, support local theatrical screenings, create awareness, and provide the tools we need to break into the mainstream.

The Film:

The streets of Lawrence Massachusetts were and still are very rough. For a kid growing up in those streets it can be a challenge just to survive. Violence, drugs, guns, gangs, poverty, and anxiety can eat you alive. But through all of that; perseverance, love of family, bonds of friendship, and passion for music can be a lifeline.

This is a story of how time and time again music saved Sully Erna and how that salvation manifested itself into the formation of the seminal, multi-platinum selling rock band Godsmack.

This isn’t your typical “rock doc”. This is a story that explores family, hardship, violence, poverty, friendship, mental health, failure, perseverance, and so much more.  It has real stakes and true meaning. Sully’s vulnerability and openness is important for any and all audiences. The messages and the inspiration that comes with them in this film are for everyone, not just Godsmack fans.

This is your chance to be a part of something special.

Risks and challenges

We have a completed film and have our marketing plan in place. Our great and dedicated team has already supported us in the successful completion of the film, so we don't anticipate many risks or challenges. The film has been released on Transactional Video On Demand Platforms already. Your backing will help us find a much broader audience. Your backer digital download will be available very soon after we are funded.
