My name is Philip David Lee and I am an independent filmmaker. I am seeking funding for my feature film Open Mike. It is a touching and funny comedy about Michael Yang who finds himself without a job, in a broken relationship, and a loss of purpose. His friend, Tony, thinks he's very funny and gets him a night on stage to do a stand up comedy routine. Reluctant at first, Michael agrees and takes the stage for the first time unleashing his comical viewpoints on love, relationships and the overall meaning of life.
I made my first film, Nowhere Street, for a budget of 3K and need your help to produce what will be my second film. I have been struggling to find a voice for my talents to investors because of standards set in the past that are more roadblocks than opportunities. The film industry is an entertainment industry that is ruled by tightly closed doors. I am using this project to kick them open so that I can create more entertaining projects for the masses that love to have a good time at the movies.
With a successful campaign of Open Mike, I will be able to keep my doors open for other struggling filmmakers that have wonderful ideas and no voice for which to be heard.
While Nowhere Street was a dark drama, Open Mike will be a comedy that will make you laugh and give you a sense of hope that no matter how bad things and situations may seem, your ability to find humor will always be your best armor to combat stress and depression.
In reaching my goal, the money will be used strictly for production costs of the film. Being in New Orleans, there's a vast array of talent and crew that will be able to work on a feature film adding experience to their resumes without having to be handcuffed by limitations set by certain unions that otherwise restrict their involvement in an industry that they struggle to get a foothold in.
Please help by sharing this project with your friends and family and spreading the word about my efforts to bring this project to life.
