Short Summary
Join us in the journey to bring my album Red Roses to the screen as a movie musical. Red Roses, which was released in 2011, meant so much to me as a piece of art-- and to bring it to the big screen is a huge deal for me! The script was co-written by Dante Basco and Matt Schwartz, and is based on a story that Curt Mega and I developed.
I'm a musician who's been writing songs and putting them on YouTube since it's early days and the film/musical is a romantic comedy inspired by my journey of trying to balance my music, my love life, and my beliefs as an independent artist. Red Roses: The Movie will be based on true life feelings and events, but will also contain a fun and relatable modern day love story. See my channel below:

Also starring in the film is Dante Basco (Rufio, Prince Zuko) as my real-life best friend, RB. It's an honor to work with somebody I've looked up to since I was a kid. Dante has been a big brother to me for the last 3 years that I've known him and I'm excited to learn from him. Check out his IMDB and YouTube channel:

What We Need & What You Get

We need your help to put the project together. We are looking for $75K+ to make the movie and CD soundtrack happen. We are giving away a ton of perks including, copies of the movie & soundtrack, and other fun things, like a personalized song sung to you by me, or a recorded message from Dante saying anything you want him to. Don't get too crazy with it though, haha :)
We are also giving away perks to play a part in the film, or be a producer and follow along with the process of making the entire project. It's gonna be awesome to have y'all be a part of it! We are even giving away a screening and concert at your house for you and your friends hosted by Dante & I... which would be dope to do!!!

We wanted to reach out to you the fans, and give you the power to make this happen. I believe in you, and you are the ones that have made my career what it is. So when Dante and Kinetic came to me with this idea, I wanted to take it to you and let you be a part of my journey.
Thank you
