Duplicity - Movie Synopsis
Naomi has gotten used to having everything she wants. Growing up an academic prodigy, she thinks she has it all figured out. When given the option of being smart or playing the odds, she would always use her smarts to beat the odds. However, over the years she has woven a web of deceit so intricate, that even with all her resources, she finds that this life she has created is exhausting. The best-laid plans may come with unforeseen consequences that not even she could calculate. And the outcome could prove to be fatal.
Transforming Passion into Powerful Storytelling: A Journey of Vision, Creativity, and Innovation
Storytelling has always been my passion—a driving force that has shaped my life and career. From crafting short stories and creating comic books in my younger years to discovering the dynamic world of hip-hop storytelling in high school, I have always sought new ways to share compelling narratives. Throughout this journey, I’ve relied on the power of the camera to capture moments that elevate my stories. At one point, the idea of turning my passion for filmmaking into a career seemed distant, almost out of reach. How could I possibly see myself on TV or in the film industry? Yet, as I refined my skills as a writer, cinematographer, and creative visionary, the answer became clear—why not?
“Duplicity” is the first installment in an ambitious five-part series. With your support, we aim to introduce this gripping film to mainstream audiences while bringing to life the remaining installments. Beyond “Duplicity,” there are two additional feature films and four original television series in development. Each story is uniquely compelling, and with your help, we can reshape the entertainment industry as we know it—delivering fresh, innovative content that engages, excites, and elevates audiences everywhere.
How You Can Make a Difference: Our Vision, Your Support
We’ve made significant strides with filming, having completed nearly half of the project on our modest budget. Now, we’re seeking funding to complete crucial scenes—particularly those involving special effects and flashbacks—that will bring depth and authenticity to the narrative. Additionally, we are eager to collaborate with a few renowned actors whose involvement will add exceptional value to the film, ensuring unforgettable performances that enhance every scene.
Your contribution will allow us to cover vital production costs, including:
Sound and Video Editing: $3,000 - $5,000
Music Licensing: $1,500
Filming (Special Effects & Flashbacks): $9,500
Marketing & Festival Submissions: $10,000
We plan to leverage this funding to enter film festivals, enhance our marketing efforts for a targeted mid-scale theater release, and create a buzz that could propel the film toward a wider theatrical and streaming platform release.
Our ultimate goal is to raise $25,000 to complete these key stages and bring Duplicity to life. If we don’t meet the target, the funds will be allocated to whichever stage we can complete—whether it’s additional filming, sound, or editing work.
