Hello, I'm Osaretin Oghomwen.
I'm an impassioned filmmaker. I've directed two successful short films in New York. This Indiegogo campaign is an effort to raise money for my first feature film production.
I'm deeply in love with the art form of cinema and the storytelling that drives it. I would appreciate your contribution towards this film production. This is an opportunity to help produce another poignant piece of art.
STRIP is a modern Romeo and Juliet story, yet with a major twist. It's the story of a young woman who decides to enter the elusive rank of London strippers, for the sake of saving her father from financial ruin.
Visually, STRIP will be a
showcase of strong, body language and dark moods. There will be a surplus of
quiet moments that allow the audience to study the character’s psychology and
analyze hints beyond what dialogue can imply. Pronounced color hues will be
used to enhance the emotive tone of the film. Moody, indie electronic
soundtracks will be used to accent the scenes and pulse with the energy coming
off the screen.
