We need $300k...but ---
Yes, our ultimate goal is $300k to make the film. Even when we do reach the $50k we'll continue to raise funds and we know if we can walk into a major producer or studio with a chunk of the money to fund the film, we'll get the rest. We want to be honest here above all. The money raised will go to make this film.
We also know if we walk into a studio or producer and can show we have 10 thousand contributors at $10 each, that is the potential for 50,000 tickets sold when the film hits theaters. It's a really good commitment and should give them the feeling this is a film which should be made for everyone to see.
Iron Gun is a story of redemption tied to revenge and the meaning of the law in the old west. It is somewhat Faith based but not entirely - it is just an element of the story and the payoff is huge and unexpected. This is NOT a shoot'em up typical western. If you liked High Noon you will love Iron Gun.
If you contribute here is just SOME of what we are going to offer you.

The Impact
This project is important for many reasons. It will bring new meaning to the western genre because it's not a blood soaked film about killing but rather a story about the good in man versus the potential evil. When a lawman comes to town trying to find a killer to bring back for trial he has to deal with three things; (1 the fact the town protects the young killer, (2 his own revenge factor (3 his duty as a lawman. He and the townsfolk are in constant conflict as is the young killer.
As a long-time journalist I've built a reputation for trust. I put that reputation on the line every day and I do so in my writing and film making. Those who know me know of my integrity and my long history. I can only hope contributors to this film project see it as well.
