Our Story
We stare at our feet when we walk. No one loves us. No one touches us. No one knows we exist. We are the Shoegazers and one of us is about to do something drastic...
This is the story of a love-lorn loser on the edge, a selfish ex-pimp and his benevolent former bottom-bitch turned longtime girlfriend, a homeless Zen master, and a lonely mute woman. Over the course of a single day their paths will intersect in unexpected ways that lead them to really think about what their lives have become and where they are headed in their future endeavors.
This is a story of pain, suffering, indifference, loneliness, and a whole gamut of unsavory emotions... but it also a story of healing, finding humor in relentless chaos, and overall it is a story of hope for people that don't fit in, or play well with others.
So what if no one understands us? We are alive and breathing and every living moment is an opportunity to rise up and make it all, if not entirely worth it, then at least bearable.
What We Need & What You Get
We need costumes, props, location permits, a special effects make-up artist, and equipment rentals! A lot of the film is coming out of my own pocket (which already resembles Swiss Cheese as it is!). I am confident that a goal of $2,666 is a good starting point to see this film through to it's completion.
Even if we don't hit the mark, I'll still do everything in my power to finish the film make it something really special. Be a part of this, won't you? Not only will you get recognition in the credits and have the satisfaction of helping to create a truly independent film, you'll also get some unique perks like hand drawn art and DVD copies of the completed film from yours truly. Cool, right?
