Introduction
Good morning or evening depending on where you are, my name is Penny Beitel and no I am not Ron Howards little sister from a different mother. I am however a Senior in the Film and Media Production program at Arizona State University. For my senior thesis (capstone) project, I am writing, producing, directing and editing a short film about a once popular brothel that thrived in the 1800's and is now a bed and breakfast full of paranormal inhabitants.
This project has been in the works for 3 years now and is finally ready to become the movie it has always dreamed of being. That is exactly where all of you come in, with your help "Soiled Doves" can be the greatest film ASU has produced to date.

Synopsis:
After buying a bed and breakfast that used to be an up and running brothel in Tombstone, AZ, Nolan and Hayden Rhodes begin to discover the gruesome, deadly history that belongs there. They're advised not to make too many changes to disrupt the history but when they don't follow the advice, the paranormal inhabitants that roam the bed and breakfast begin to make their appearance.
Why We Need Your Help
Since we will be shooting on location in Tombstone, AZ we will need funds to secure the location, which luckily will also double as lodging for the cast and crew. We will also need to rent vans to transport my cast and crew from Tempe to Tombstone. Other important things are period correct costumes, props, food for cast and crew and of course insurance. Being a student in the Film and Media Production Program, I have access to basic equipment that ASU provides, but I will need to pay for rental equipment such as lenses, sound and certain lighting equipment. No amount of money will go unused, there will always be something needed for this film.
I know I can make this film, I have been preparing for it for a long time and it will be made regardless of how much money I raise. Your contributions will only make my film the best I know it can be.
