History does in fact repeat itself. 

In today's political & social climate, it's more important than ever to remind the country of its struggles with race relations & how despite advancements, we have not grown nearly as much as we think we have. 
RIGHTFUL is a film inspired by the true story of two African American brothers wrongfully executed in 1913 for the sake of profiting from the sale of their farmland.

100 years later, the brothers return to right the wrongs done against them & stop the town descendants from profiting off the land that was rightfully theirs.

RIGHTFUL is an original horror film from writer Stephen George & director André Alfa. 

It will be an entertaining & frightening film, with a strong positive message supported by some very interesting & disturbing historical truths.


RIGHTFUL has funding & will be made, but needs your help to produce the best film possible & get the message out.  In order to make RIGHTFUL as good as it can be & reach as many people as possible, we need 2 things: the best special effects we can create & on-screen talent with name recognition.

That’s where you come in. Your contribution will make this a better film. Together, we will make a film that is talked & written about, that gets into movie theaters & televisions, so millions can see it.

Help us get the message out. Fight Racism Now. Support RIGHTFUL.

We are rewarding contributions to our campaign with an array of exciting perks & opportunities that are listed to the right-hand column of this page.     ➔

In tandem with these perks, funders following us on our sites will also receive priority access to exclusive content throughout the campaign: everything from film updates from the filmmakers & exclusive production updates such as casting, location scouting, & special FX to updates from the set & the festival circuit.


RIGHTFUL will be made even if we fall short of our goal. But not reaching it will limit the scope of the special effects we are envisioning & getting that actor with name recognition.

Either way, we are committed to ensuring that every dollar raised ends up on the screen.


Contributing to our campaign is not the only way to score rewards. Spread the word of RIGHTFUL with Indiegogo's social media share tools & you could qualify for all sorts of prizes as well as through social media.

Follow us here on Indiegogo, on Twitter (@RightfulMovie) & Instagram (@RightfulMovie) & friend us on Facebook to keep tabs on both this campaign & the development of the final film.
