When a group of old college friends and bandmates decide to meet up after several years, the night goes horribly awry as one of the friends almost immediately goes missing. At the same time, the group learns from the FBI that there is a murderer on the loose. With a sci-fi dramatic twist, Manhunt unfolds a story about the strength and endurance of true friendship.

"Facing obstacles in life is common, but it shouldn’t be an isolating affair. No matter what events transpire, Manhunt is a reminder that true friendship stands the test of patience and time. As an investor in this film, you are supporting the meaning of friendship and unity, and allowing this film to serve as an important reminder that no one person is ever truly alone."

Our planned budget will go towards camera/lighting equipment, locations, distributions, and more! When you donate, you will be helping us secure a perfect location for us to film at, distribute our film to film festivals across the country (and globe!), feeding cast and crew members, and you will be helping us in lots of numerous ways! Below is a chart of what your donations will be going towards for the production of this film:

Our first priority on our set is maintaining the safety and efficiency of our crew members. With a fair budget, we will be able to run a set ensuring the safety of our cast and crew members! The majority of the money funded for this project will go towards equipment so we can effectively tell this story. Additionally, making films can be expensive, especially as students. In that case, any amount would greatly help us make this film come to life!

If you can't donate, don't worry about it! We totally understand! However, there is another solution to help our cause! Feel free to share our campaign to your relatives, friends, and even on your social media platforms!
