Short Summary
Five friends trek through the forest to enjoy that last bit of summer they have left, but end up taking a wrong path to a place so far removed from the reality they know . A race against the absence of daylight, each other, and whatever lurks in the forest winds up putting them all in peril.
It's guaranteed to be made! With or without the crowdfunding, we plan to make this movie! We are a passionate hard working team, who have the experience to make something great. The funding is to make it as polished as possible! We want to make a horror movie that's unique, something that you don't need to be a fan of the genre to watch and love!
We love making movies, our team has been involved in the film industry in some shape or form the minute we decided to follow that dream! We just need a chance to show you what we've got!
What We Need & What You Get
Gear, Most of the production is being shot in the wilderness, and at night time. We need to feed our cast and crew, we need electricity for our lights, as well as the lights themselves. This stuff ain't cheap! Transporting gear, crew, and cast to our locations, plus having the generators to run our lights, heaters is the main focus. We also want to submit this thing to every film fest we can get it into! Film festivals all have submission costs and entry fee's, so your contribution will help us get the movie out there!
We are obviously all (cast and crew) working pro-bono on this project, so all the cash is going to production and keeping our cast and crew maintained for those cold nights.
$3,000
- Gear: Lights, generators, better camera equipment (steady cam rental).
- Transportation costs of driving everyone out to the locations that are out of town!
- It's been getting colder and colder out, we'll need more money for gas in our generators -as well as extra generators if need be to run the lights along with heaters to keep our cast and crew out of cold!
- Film fest submissions!
What do you get?
- Tickets to the screening
- DVD copies and digital copies
- Posters
- T-shirts
- Props from the movie
- and more!
Where does the money go if we don't hit our goal?
- Any funds raised will go to the production, 100%.
The Impact
We have enough content to make a feature! We want to make a short to showcase the idea and make it festival ready. The idea is that we use this short to pitch the feature! It's our stepping stone to something greater! Not only will your contribution give us the tools to make something as great as it can be to pitch our unique idea, but it'll give us the funds to package and ship it out to all the big festivals we're eligible for!
This short film could turn into the next halloween blockbuster! With your contribution, we can make that happen! Consider the success of Paranormal activity, El Mariachi, Whiplash; these movies started out with a small budget or as a short film, all are critically acclaimed and have turned into major commercial success stories, have either started a franchise or have been nominated for some major awards! So why not take a chance on us? Your contribution could have had a part in something big.
Risks & Challenges
As mentioned before, this project is GUARANTEED to be made!!! The risks and challenges will be locations, schedules and weather! Most of it will be shot at night, but we will take the proper equipment and tests before we go to camera to make sure we can pull off what we are trying to accomplish. The fact that we are all unpaid means that we can't guarantee everyones schedule to match up, we have school and work schedules to work around.
What will we do to overcome these challenges?
Prep! With more prep-time and testing, we'll have a better idea of the of schedule we're looking at, and what to do as a backup incase something unexpected were to happen!
