Two brothers, Howard and Wylie, set off from their previous life in Ohio to "start from something old". During their abrupt new beginning, they find themselves accompanying a mysterious young woman who goes by the name of Prada.

The story highlights the consequences of action vs. inaction. It dives into the hole many people find themselves in when feeling indecisive. Indecision can take shape in multiple forms from feeling like you've reached rock bottom, not feeling anything at all, or shielding yourself with spontaneous behavior. Prada tells that tale within the bond of our three characters. 

Each character, though going through their own individual struggle, finds clarity in moments when they are simply being with each other. That's what we want to explore. The moments amongst the chaos, the moments where we can't avoid a situation any longer and truth needs to come out, not just for everybody's sake, but for our own. Creating a film that explores personal feelings is of the utmost importance to our team.

Though, these characters bond... whatever it is they are neglecting will be met at the bottom of the hole of indecision.

We can't tell you what something feels like, but we can bring you into a world and show you that feeling.

Why do we need this much?

Making a movie takes more than just fun and passion. It also takes a lot of time and money. 100% of the funds raised during this campaign will go directly towards to production of making Prada. We are so beyond passionate about making this film and making sure that everyone involved is compensated for their work. The crew, locations, talent, composers, editors…EVERYONE!

Not only will this be an incredible growing experience for everyone involved, but it will also give everyone a chance to show their skills and be seen for future work. It is our intention to be able to give everyone more opportunities as independent filmmakers to be hired on projects that compensate them and boost their careers.

Also, we are excited to be shooting the majority of the film locally in Ohio because it will give local businesses and local filmmakers more exposure and will additionally show the landscape in which members of our crew grew up.

This project has been ongoing for over a year now and everyone involved is beyond excited and ready to make an incredible story come to life! We are going to do everything we possibly can to make this movie and we appreciate all the help you can give!

Creating a community of people that have an artistic outlet is crucial to us. We want to share and explore individuals' crafts amongst the production to bring a collaborative piece.

We focus on Cinema that continues the rawness of what is happening in front of our eyes.

Practical Effects, Makeup, and Stunts will take more time on set, but it's about intention in what we want to capture and the outcome of the experience will make for a realistic visual that is Prada.

This is something we feel is lacking in recent Cinema. Cinema that isn't cinema at all but rather a purging of content. We stay focused on sharing stories over that.

 

Landon Tavernier - Actor/ Writer/ Director

"Being a part of any aspect of creation that keeps me present is what I search for, I get lost in time and I think that's important. Finding that moment of just being, that's what I want to share with people."

 

Janush Libicki - Director/Editor/Producer

"We tell stories all the time. Universally, every single one of us. Subconscious choices, words, body language. Every move we make tells a story. Filmmaking is the ultimate storytelling medium and it allows our stories to live forever. At the end of the day, I just want to tell my story through my work. And Prada- Prada is a story worth telling."

 

Dalton Tavernier - Art Director/Photographer

"I like to compose concepts and portray them photographically. It's a true expression to me and I also feel that the subject (if a person) feels like they have a release and expression themselves. You're able to share a mutual understanding, it's a flow of spiritual communication... telepathy... that we capture."

 

Brooke Maroon - Actor/Dancer/Producer

 

Wesley Bandy - Composer

"I've been a movie buff as long as I've been a Musician and I am fascinated with how much more emotion a scene can draw when there is a good musical composition behind it."

 

Jake Flynn - Script Contributor/Producer

"I love stories where you can find pieces of yourself in each character. Prada is a story where you will connect with the parts of yourself you wish to express. And you will be forced to confront the aspects of who you are that you wish to abolish. "

 

Ronald "Mumbles" Lee Myers - Executive Producer

"My life is love. Dream's come alive when others join the party of life."
