The Story

A Letter to James is a love letter to the Silent Hill universe, inspired by the iconic Silent Hill 2. The story follows James Sunderland, who holds a mysterious letter from his late wife, Mary, calling him to the fog-filled town of Silent Hill. As James searches for answers, he must confront his past and the horrors that lurk in the shadows.

We’re committed to capturing the emotional depth, haunting visuals, and psychological tension that fans of Silent Hill adore. Our goal is to craft a film that feels like a genuine extension of the series, bringing the world of Silent Hill to life with a fresh perspective while staying true to its roots.

Short Summary

We’re Rebel Monkey Production, a team passionate about storytelling and creating immersive fan projects! After the success of our Alan Wake-inspired short film and award-winning project Memory Card, we’re diving into the eerie world of Silent Hill with our latest fan film, Letter to James.

This project is deeply personal to us as huge fans of the Silent Hill universe. We’ve already spent more than $9K to ensure high-quality production while keeping our budget low, but we need your help to bring this vision to life. Your contributions will help us finish post-production, enhance VFX, and - if we exceed our goal - shoot additional scenes to make the film even more impactful.

With your support, you’ll help us create a chilling homage to Silent Hill while achieving professional-level results on an indie budget.

What We Need & What You Get

We’re seeking funding to cover the costs of post-production, including VFX, SFX, and music, to ensure A Letter to James delivers the immersive experience Silent Hill fans deserve. Here’s a breakdown of where your contributions will go:

Post-production & VFX: Finalizing the film with top-notch effects.

Additional Scenes (if we exceed our goal): Expanding the story to make it even more compelling.

Our perks include:

• Your name mentioned in the credits.
• IMDb credits.
• Real props from the set.
• Producer credits for higher-tier backers.
• An exclusive first look at the finished film before it’s released.

If we don’t reach our full goal, we’ll prioritize finishing the core film and delivering on our promises to backers.

The Impact

This project isn’t just for us—it’s for the Silent Hill community. By supporting us, you’re helping create a unique fan film that honors the universe while showcasing what passionate creators can achieve with your help.

Our team’s track record speaks for itself. Memory Card gained significant recognition in the gaming community and won awards at festivals, and our Alan Wake-inspired short film was praised by fans with an immediate online release. Now, we’re ready to make waves with A Letter to James.

Your contributions will help us push creative boundaries and inspire other creators to bring their favorite worlds to life.

Risks & Challenges

Producing a high-quality fan film on a tight budget is challenging, but we’ve done it before, and we’re ready to do it again! Our experienced team has a proven ability to overcome obstacles, from securing locations to managing VFX on a budget.

The biggest challenge is balancing costs while maintaining the high-quality standard fans expect. With your support, we’ll ensure the final product captures the eerie, emotional essence of the series and becomes a tribute worthy of the Silent Hill legacy.

Other Ways You Can Help

Even if you can’t contribute financially, you can still help us reach our goal! Share our campaign with your friends, family, and fellow Silent Hill fans. Every share helps us spread the word and bring this project to life.
