“Six In One” is the story of blackmail, murder and espionage written by Tanya M. Dixon. The story begins with the questionable suicide death of tycoon entrepreneur Harold Boyer of Boyer Industries. This film has the female camaraderie of “Waiting To Exhale”, the suspense of “The Score”, and it carefully and skillfully unveils twists and plots like “The Departed”. Is Adria guilty of hiding Harold’s secrets in order to save herself from federal charges or does she have a personal vendetta with Randall Mack? In the words of villain, Randall Mack, it’s “Six in one, half a dozen in the other”. You decide…

Ellis is proud to carry on the celebration of the soul legacy.
For the debut of my first feature film, SIX IN ONE, I went this route for various reasons. First of all, it’s easy to get caught up in the politics of movie-making with extensive costs and budgets. The movie may never be produced! But IndieGoGo has provided a wonderful platform for filmmakers and project owners to incorporate the slogan, “Just Do It”. Now we can share the building of a dream with friends, family, and supporters who can help concepts to be brought to completion and make dreams a reality.
We plan on using the funds for the development stage of the "Six in One" movie in Atlanta, Georgia. The funds will go to securing talent for the film, producers, permits, legal, camera, locations, and everything needed for this stage of production.

SIX IN ONE Perks
(Please view on the column to the right)
Special Thanks to the wonderful cast & crew in Florida that helped to make the trailer for SIX IN ONE!!
The ultimate challenge is to make a film that raises awareness, starts a conversation, and that has measurable impact and can make a difference—especially if you have limited resources. But some of our history and experience in television and film will now work in our favor as we have a network of talented friends from our long careers who want to see this project succeed. We'll have support from professionals that can bring their experience to the table in the areas of cinematography, production, casting, etc.
Do we have the goal to make this film a theatrical release? Of course! But even though we cannot guarantee a theatrical release we can still guarantee that we will do our level best to give our fans and contributors participation in a wonderful project—in which some people have been yearning. With the right kind of public support, we can only increase our chances of a theatrical release.
Some of the risks go without saying…but we’re going to say them anyway:
--For gifts requiring your presence, unless already stated (with the pledges and rewards) you must pay for your own travel and accommodations.
--For rewards that include shipping costs, the costs are determined by size, weight and destination.
--For rewards requiring appearances, minors (under 18) must be accompanied by an adult.
Please note that if we’re unable to raise the full amount of money to fund this film, the dream will be prolonged once again. Our hope is to reach as many people as humanly possible! That has been our mission since the start and despite the challenges made along the way, we remain committed to our goal.
Help us make the Dream a
Reality!
YOU are the most important contribution in making this film a
reality.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR
Let's Stay Connected...
