Overview
This film is very personal to the us (the directors) and the actors involved in it. The pre-production of this film has been happening for over half a year and is almost ready to enter production. Speaking of the film, the tale of Little Buffalo is a humble feature film about two teenagers on their journey through a small town in hopes of finding rent money by the end of the day. Their trek leads them through a harrowing world of drugs, love, murder, and rent money.

Little Buffalo

Little Buffalo, founded in 1953 is in no way relevant to the growth of Canada as a whole or even to the residents who live there. Acting as a catalyst for the citizens to live their lives without a future or a past. Little Buffalo is the town time passed by. It became famous in recent years with the murders of twenty plus people and several who remain missing to this day. Considered a cold case, the booming tourism industry of Little Buffalo diminished harshly as rumours of the killer still at large haunts the streets and homes of residents

Short Summary

Ramon plays video games and drinks alcohol, Chet delivers pizza and drinks alcohol, Jordan sleeps on the carpet and drinks milk. They are some of the brightest minds of our generation, or so the public school system tells them. All three of them are finally at a point in their lives where they can make decisions about their careers and futures. As you can imagine, they all take this sudden influx of responsibility fairly well, by ignoring it. Ramon is rudely awoken to the fact that life can't just be ignored, so he goes on a journey of finding rent money that was due yesterday.

Where the funds will go:

Filmmaking takes time, money, people, and lots of support.  We have a handful of equipment that is more than enough for a short film, but with the ambition of a feature film comes the need for better equipment arises. For a project like this to be successful it requires support. The following is a breakdown of part of our current budget estimate so you can see exactly where your donations will go. 

Audio mixer 

Mic + wind sock 

Wide angle lens

Two 650W lights

Stretch goals:

-Shoulder rig

-A second mic

-Two prime lens

Where we are at:

We already have a final 86 page script that only requires slight touch-ups to dialogue. All major characters have been casted, leaving one or two extra roles vacant at the moment. There will be rehearsals for the last two weeks of may to ensure the actors are in character and noticeable problems are ironed out. The actual shooting will begin at the beginning of June and last until the 24th leaving a 6 day window for postponed days or quick reshoots. Any other reshoots will be done during July. All of the locations have been secured for the days required with backup locations if something falls through.

All we are missing is some equipment and the film will be ready to shoot.
