Summary
This Pomeroy funding campaign #1 for the month of May, 2017, is for research and production filming in June, 2017. This includes research and filming at the Massachusetts Archives in Boston and also filming historical sites around Boston. Expert interviews will also be conducted in Boston and Pennsylvania.
Research and production have begun with Harold Schechter, Author of Fiend, and Stephen J. Giannangelo, Author of Real Life Monsters, already interviewed.
This is one of several campaigns for this project. I have structured the Pomeroy fundraising campaigns to be spread out during the production of the film meaning each phase will need smaller amounts rather than attempting to raise the entire amount to produce and complete the film all at once. This seems a more feasible way to proceed incrementally.

What We Need & What You Get
The budget for this campaign will be applied to:
- Travel costs from Chicago to Massachusetts and Pennsylvania.
- Production Equipment Rentals
- Hotel Stays
The perks for this campaign minimize the physical perks being sent out while at the same time, allowing for YOUR name to be remembered for eternity in a John Borowski film by being included in the credits. This allows me as the producer/writer/director to concentrate on the production of the film. If the final goal amount is not reached, whatever funds have been contributed will be applied to the production filming.
