Keloid is a bloody, black comedy about a woman who goes on a mission to get one of her body parts back. 

Brendan is a veteran TV writer and director having written over 90 episodes of sitcom for South African television. Recently he has started making inappropriate stop motion animation films: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQp-6rnbp_CM6MqIKbiGDow

Josh Russell is our Special Effects Supervisor and he is known for his work on Would You RatherDance of the Dead and Yellowbrickroad. Here is a link to his IMDB page: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3488749/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1

Our team hopes to make a kick-ass movie that we can use to develop into a full length feature film. 

What We Need & What You Get

A chunk of our budget is going towards our special effects team who are already hard at work creating live prosthetics. They're giving us a great discount but the materials and costs don't come cheap. The rest of the money will be spent on video equipment and salaries. 
Brendan is deferring his salary so he can free up money for the team, including the actors. Too often is it assumed they will work for free. Tsk, tsk!
We feel this is a really strong story and we want all aspects of production, from cinematography to acting to editing, to be of the highest quality. 
We have some fantastic perks for those of you who contribute. T-Shirts, DVD's, posters, access to set, access to the screening party and even an Exec Producer credit!
If we do not achieve our financial goal, Brendan will sell a kidney and make the movie anyway!

The Impact

When this project reaches completion, we will have a 20 minute short version of the feature film we hope to make in the future. 
Our hope is to make it into the the premier US festivals and parlay that exposure into interest in the feature film. 
But more importantly, we'd like to find a home and an audience for our weird, somewhat twisted sense of humor. 

Risks & Challenges

This is a complicated shoot in terms of special effects. We will be spending the majority of our time rehearsing and fine tuning the execution of these shots. Therefore we have poured most of our shooting schedule into getting these shots into the can. 

The extra cash would allow for extra care. Another day of shooting means not having to constantly chase the next set up. 

Having said that, Brendan, knows a thing or two about squeezing production value out of a tight budget. He produced an entire feature film, Hey Boy  in 18 days. He also directed the sketch show About Us, shooting 140 sketches in hundreds of different locations in under one month. He was also the runner up in the Quickies  competition, completing seven short films in ten days. 

Other Ways You Can Help

If you don't have the cash, dontcha worry. Just spread the word. Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Sandwich board. Every bit helps.
