Through our crowd funding campaign, we hope to raise at least $10,000. This money will go to solidifying weaponry for the film. We have the location, we have the costumes, we have weapons for the main cast, and however we are hoping to purchase 10 more Breathier rifles for a scene at the end of the film, when Henry finally receives reinforcements.

As with most crowd funding projects, there may be some unexpected circumstances and or scenarios; but our team is fully prepared to take on any challenges by virtue of our full preparedness and crowd funding experience. If we do run into any logistical challenges so significant that may delay us, we will be sure to keep all our contributors in the loop.
Lots of time and effort has been put into making this film the best it can be. It is very hard for any production company outside of the Hollywood network to get noticed. Many Hollywood films fall short of making a Harlem Hellfighter film because they cannot get pentagon approval and government support. This film so far is entirely privately funded. There are many unforeseen expenses, especially with historic action dramas, that must be paid to create a safe as well as accurate cinematic experience.
