Sinergy

Hey! Asaf Ronen and Kacey Samiee here, the producing team for Sinergy. Between the two of us we have thousands of hours of production experience for film and stage, and it’s all led up to this.

Sinergy came about out of a conversation between Asaf who needed to jump start his writing and Kacey who was auditioning for roles that didn’t speak to her. “What kind of role would you play if you could?” From that question came the character of Sheridan, the dark center of this dark comedy where magic and commerce co-exist (like in the world of movie-making...hey!) That was five years ago and it’s only now that our schedules and hearts have opened up enough to take on such an ambitious project.

 

What We Need & What You Get

For Season One we need $32,561.00. We created a tight and precise budget based on the day rates for cast and crew, the expenses of producing a film (insurance, food, location cost, equipment, props, costumes, etc.). Every bit of funding we get will go into the production so we can pay people for their time.

We have designed several perks to thank you for your contribution. From participating in the production, partying with us when it's over, receiving unique props used during principle photography, as well as unique art prints and getting your photo taken with a real live demon. Hopefully there's something in there to get you interested!

And when Season Two of this series rolls around (we like to swing for the fences), you will have the front row seats to it.

Risks & Challenges

This is Asaf’s first time as a film director, though he has been collaborating, directing and creating for over 25 years on stage, in classrooms, in videos, and he even wrote a book. This, however, is a whole new ballgame, with technical challenges, logistical challenges, and some how-are-we-going-to make-this-happen challenges. The story is king and whatever it needs, we’re going to throw at it. Whatever professionals Asaf needs to help him through the first-timedness, we want to provide, because at the other end of it, will be a project that is fun, unique and only the beginning.
 
 
 Other Ways You Can Help

We know money is tight for everyone (that's why we're asking for some). And we also know that even if you can't contribute financially, that doesn't mean that you don't want to see the project produced. So, if you can't contribute, please share! Share like crazy! Use any and all of the social media platforms to help us spread the word about this campaign. Even talk to your friends and family, maybe they can help out!
There are other things that would be of great help:

• Catering. We want to create a comfortable environment for our talent so that they can bring their best to the project. That means vats of coffee and trays of breakfast tacos in the morning, doses of protein in the afternoon. Any food connections that would lead to donations or hefty discounts would be greatly appreciated.
• Props. We are needing to build a couple of the office sets from scratch including desks and office chairs and some other odds and ends.
• Transport. Those big props won’t fit on the back of Asaf’s scooter. Friends with trucks and some time to kill would be a big help. And while you’re on set, maybe you can take an extras role for yourself!
