Overview
When a hyper-competitive MMA fighter is paralyzed by a near-fatal kick to the taint his life falls apart. In order to reclaim his dignity he takes up professional fighting games, comes to love the community, and must defeat a toxic pro video-gamer at the largest fighting game tournament in the world! Donate to this campaign and help make this project happen!

 

We're raising money to make the FIRST ever comedy set in the fascinating world of the Fighting Games Community!

Last Hit is an independent film, which means we don’t have any slick studio executives who don’t know Chun-Li from Chewbacca telling us what to do. We're doing it our way from beginning to end, the way that fans of fighting games would want us to do it!

 

 

Since we don’t have money from Hollywood studios we need the support of passionate fans like you to make this film happen!  Can we make a feature film with just $40,000? OF COURSE NOT!

Luckily we'll also have money from:

  • Brand Sponsorships
  • Tax Credits
  • Money from investors, friends and fans of our Stars

Could we do it without your money? No! Why do we need your support? While our major funding will come from the sources listed above, like any independent production we need seed money to get to the next step! Small contributions from fans like you can help get us there! Where else will your generous donation go?

  • Better equipment - Cameras are expensive!
  • A Bigger Crew
  • Advertising to make sure the fans know about it

What do you get in return? The pleasure of bringing something very cool into the world, plus your choice of amazing perks!  We appreciate it.

Don’t forget to donate and share with your friends!
