Summary
After a long journey of dipping in and out of music covers and being pushed to hone my musical abilities, I am finally taking the first major step onto my path as a musician in tandem with my acting career. This music video for the track Omertà will be my first single and will set the bar for future endeavors and opportunities!
The video concept for Omertà will not be a traditional music video. We hope to create a trailer-like cut of a film inspired by my Italian heritage and classic mafia movies like The Godfather, to accompany the track. With our budget goal we can take the set back in time to the 1940-60s and visually achieve an aesthetic more reminiscent of a Hollywood film than music video.
I am so unbelievably proud of this song, and although Covid derailed the strategic and organized plans I had for my music journey this year, I am refusing to end this year without hitting my most pivotal goal - which is to release my first single and music video.
Your contribution will allow me and the talented team I have in place to fully realize a vivid concept that will take a village to execute WITHOUT cutting corners. It will allow the incredible friends I have in their respective industries to be paid and given the tools they need to make this project something we are all proud of and for you to enjoy!
What We Need
Our end goals is roughly $8,000 but whatever we raise will be applied!
BEFORE YOU FREAK OUT - "That sounds expensive!" - if only 320 people donate $25 we already achieve the goal! Not so impossible! Whatever you can contribute will be utilized responsibly. We understand the state of things around the world right now, so even $1 counts!
As an actor, I have been very lucky to accumulate a wide network of incredible talents in all sorts of industries. From videographers, to visionary directors, to stylists and talented hair and makeup gurus - I want to make this project not only visually stunning, but incorporate as many of these talented artists as I can, AND PAY THEM!
I hope this footage will elevate the song to a level that will leave a lasting impression. This will all come down to having the necessary budget to allocate to all the needs of a project on this scale.
THE MONEY WILL GO TO- Locations, permits, editing, film equipment, insurance, sound, crew members, fees, director, talent, props, styling, makeup, hair, Covid safety measures, and more.
So I know its cringe to crowdfund, but I love artists, my friends and music, and I want to aim big!
What You'll Get
Because this video will be shot more like a film, I would love to include every single name of those who contributed and supported this project in the end credits! Picture a long scrolling screen of credits with all of your names attached to this amazing moment that will forever be "my first big step in music."
Not only will your name be stamped on the project as you are truly part of it, but I will send a special photo with a handwritten note with autograph to every email listed in the contributions! Just a small token of gratitude.
I hope to also invite the contributors to a virtual ZOOM meet up sometime in the launching window of this music video. Imagine a huge meet up via ZOOM where I can speak to you guys more intimately about the projects creation, the plans for it, and updates. When this is organized we can send a follow up to the email you include with your contribution!
The Impact
If we do meet our goal, I hope that you will also watch this video and feel how emotionally invested I am in the entire process and creation of this vision. The end result will be something I am doing FOR YOU GUYS in hopes of coming out of the gate with a bang, and to make sure future opportunities in music open to me. I want to keep making things for you guys with more resources available to me in the future. This video will set the bar for record labels, producers and musical business endeavors!
