My name is Jack Thomas Smith and I'm the writer, producer, and director for the upcoming action/horror film "In The Dark." We need your help to raise start-up capital, which will be used to secure named stars and begin Pre-Production!

About myself:

My last film, "Infliction", which I wrote, produced, and directed, is a dark and disturbing assembled footage film that documents two brothers’ 2011 murder spree in NC and the horrific truth behind their actions. "Infliction" opened in select theaters in 2014 and was released to most major retailers in the U.S. and Canada on DVD, VOD, and Digital HD by Virgil Films & Entertainment, which is the same company that distributed "Supersize Me."

“Disorder” is told from the perspective of a paranoid schizophrenic... so you're not sure what's real and what isn't. Then, right as you think you have it figured out, there's a twist ending.

About "In The Dark":

Log Line

  (Action/Thriller) Something evil has taken over Harker Island, Michigan.  The people of this quiet residential community have changed – becoming vicious and inhuman.  A small group of survivors must fight for their lives as they try to escape to the mainland.

Synopsis

In the wake of his father’s untimely death, nineteen-year-old Brian Lockhart returns from college to his family’s home on Harker Island.  He quickly learns that the quiet island community in Michigan has changed.

As darkness falls, it becomes clear to Brian, as well as his ex-girlfriend, Julie, and his younger brother, Todd, that the people of Harker Island have been changed into bloodthirsty, undead creatures by an inhuman being, who has recently settled on the island along with two followers.

Brian, Julie, and Todd, along with a small group of survivors, must fight for their lives.  Armed with guns, they battle against thousands of creatures that emerge from underground tunnels where they sleep, crazed and hungry, intending to feed on the island’s last few human inhabitants.

Brian and the others know that their only chance for survival is to escape from the island.  Can they make it to the mainland, or will they fall prey to the undead islanders?

About the "In The Dark" Indiegogo campaign:

We're asking for your help to raise the start-up capital needed to bring "In The Dark" to the big screen. We're raising $185,000, which will cover deposits for named stars as well as the deposit for a specific casting director, who has cast a number of major films. The start-up capital will also be used to begin Pre-Production, which includes storyboards, location scouting, legal, publicity, and the hiring of essential crew and effects personnel.

We plan to make offers to stars, who are household names and will help us secure foreign pre-sales as well as a domestic minimum guarantee, which will finance the balance of the film along with monetized state tax credits. The overall budget for "In The Dark" is $6 million.

We're offering perks based on your level of contribution. 

Once the film is complete, a date will be announced to release "In The Dark" to a theater near you.

Thanks for taking the time to read this pitch. And thank-you for your support!
