What is Thanatos?
“Thanatos” is and independent sci-fi/fantasy/romance full length film about a young scientist who is in deep depression after the loss of his girlfriend. Worst yet, he carries a deep guilt for never being able to tell her exactly how he felt. He ingests an experimental drug named “Thanatos” to induce a state of near death and travel to the afterlife in order to say to his dearly departed what he wished he would have said while she lived. While there though he must face not just his own guilt, shame, and pain but something sinister that haunts him.

What We Need & What You Get
The long and short of it is this: your contributions and our passion for this project will help us create a feature film that will help us continue to build our career as a writers/directors. The concept is wonderful, the short play version of it can be seen in the video pitch. Film making is our calling. So your kind contributions will not only benefit you in the way of fun perks, but they will also help forge, ideally, an even stronger path for us to travel down as a creative members of this industry.
Why donate?Firstly, Because the movie will be amazing. Secondly, some
great perks if you do. Thirdly, every last cent we receive will be directly put
into Thanatos. Your kind contributions to helping us make this film will allow us to pay for certain things, such as:
1. Pay for our cast and crew.
2. Special effects.
3. Stunts.
4. Music score.
5. Our set.
And much more.
The movie could be done on the cheap, and if it must it will
be, but I would rather engage with a professional effects company and bring
that extra polish. We want to produce a product of quality. That’s where the money will go.
Not only that but the perks will be great. They will range
from a simple thank you to watching the first screening with cast and crew.
Should any of you be so bold.
