BACKSTORY
We've been at this game a long time! We know what it's like to fall and what it takes to get back up, but we welcome those challenges because we know that at the end of the day, we're going to deliver something unique and extraordinary.
As screenwriters, we've developed feature-film projects with major production companies and studios. We wrote the movie, WAR, starring Jet Li and Jason Statham.
As filmmakers, we've won numerous awards for our short films and documentaries. Most recently, we had the honor of Producing and Directing the Award-Winning Documentary on the Legendary, Albert S. Ruddy, The Oscar-Winning Producer of THE GODFATHER and MILLION DOLLAR BABY.
THE NOIR CAMPAIGN
is important to us because it enables us to realize a life-long dream, getting a chance to direct our first feature film. And it's an opportunity that came to us only because we chose to do it ourselves, independently from studio involvement, using our own resources and connections.
After years of watching some of our best scripts languish on the shelves in development hell, we decided to stop asking permission to direct our own material and take matters into our own hands, even though many people told us it would be an impossible task... especially on the scope and scale of the story we wanted to tell.
We've always been classic cinema lovers and the monster movies and film-noir pictures of the '30s, '40s and '50s were always a great inspiration to us, so we decided to take those passions and create the kind of movie that we would love to see, but that nobody else was making. And we are happy to say... "We did just that!"
THE STORY
NOIR takes place during Hollywood's Golden Age and centers on Max Specter, a Private Investigator, searching for a missing B-monster-movie screenwriter named, Jack Thorpe. But before long, the investigation takes a mysterious turn when Max discovers that the writer's enemies are being murdered, killed in the same way described in Jack's scripts. Soon, dark forces emerge and Max finds himself the target of an evil occult hellbent on keeping their secrets as he races against time to save the writer's daughter from an unstoppable, supernatural force.
This is what we've accomplished so far...
Principle photography complete! All pickup shots and reshoots complete! Final Cut almost complete! Almost 90% of the original music complete! All VFX and sound design have been roughed in!
And your support will go towards...
Completing the sound design, foley, ADR, and final sound mix, effects compositing, 3D models and animation, stock footage and music licenses, final music compositions and recordings, color correction and quality control for distribution.
We're very excited about the project and we can't wait to get it out to the public for everyone to see, but we need your help to afford the technicians and studio time that it will take to finish the movie in a timely manner. So please take a close look at the quality and vision behind what we have to offer. Any help will be greatly appreciated and put to good use.
