Jasmin Marsters moved to the States from Germany 4 yrs ago to marry the love of her life, James Marsters. Very excited to produce their first project together, Jasmin now happily adds writing/directing/producing to her otherwise blossoming career as an actress, model and singer/songwriter. She will also act in Kessi Blue.
"Weeehoooo! So excited to do this. Lots of love and care have gone into the process of starting and evolving this production. My hope is that every bit of it shows in the final product. All we need is a small donation, THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!" - Jasmin

We Are Supporting Hollywood's Future!
We are set on hiring cast & crew with amazing talent and professionalism that are still making their way into the business. Though they may not have movie theatre scale credentials, we want to pay and feed them and give them a chance to let their work shine with quality equipment and staff. Please help us create the environment a professional, creative set deserves!
And Here Is Another Treat for You!
James performance in Once More With Feeling, Buffy - The Vampire Slayer.
If we reach our campaign target of $12,000, James will give you a special gift! For many years the Buffy fans among you have requested that he sings Rest in Peace from the epic Buffy Musical Episode "Once More With Feeling" just one more time! So let the Buffy forums run hot with these news, because if we reach our goal, we will tape him singing it, just for you guys, & quite possibly never to be done again!
"As a huge Buffy fan myself, I'm really looking forward to this. So pleeease, let's make it happen together!" -Jasmin Marsters
This Is Only the Beginning!
If this takes off, many more projects will follow!! Scripts are already being written, dreams are starting to form, and the prospect of what is possible is beyond exciting. We cannot reveal too much though ;)
Other Ways You Can Help:
If you cannot donate (even a customized donation of a $1) , share this campaign with your friends and family on Twitter, Facebook & Instagram, etc!
