Overview
This is a low budget film that captures the gritty underbelly of life in Las Vegas. A very dark story, but with just enough levity to make it a must watch! It's also a film about the human condition, and what each person is capable of, in terms of good and evil, when everything has been taken away from us. Life is fragile and precious, however, not all of our characters feel that way... ;) Join us on this storytelling journey!

Short Summary

  • Hi, I'm Dustin Ross, a lifelong musician, artist, engineer, builder, and student of film. I've been passionate about the art of writing and directing for as long as I can remember! I've been working on this project for a year and a half now (on my off time) and now I'm concentrating on it full time through to completion.
  • This film is extremely important to me, as it's my first feature film.  The first story (of many) that I will tell, and I believe it is a deeply sad and troubling story that will pull on heartstrings for years to come! You're not likely to find anyone more passionate, creative, and driven, when it comes to high end, low budget film-making. Movies don't have to cost millions of dollars to make! Help me prove it by assisting me in getting this first piece of art on the shelves, and get this story told the right way! ;)
  • With your contributions and help, we will tell this brutally tragic story, hopefully giving us some momentum for our second film!

What We Need & What You Get

  • We are looking to raise enough for the last stretch (final funding), $5,000. With this, we will have enough to finish production of the film. We will then be hitting the film festival route!
  • All of our perk packages come with a set of tickets to the premiere. The upper tiers include Associate Producer and Executive Producer credit (in film and on IMDB)
  • All funds raised will go toward the production of this film, and nowhere else, regardless of how much or how little is raised.

The Impact

Feel free to explain more about your campaign and let people know the difference their contribution will make:

  • Just like all successful filmmakers, we need to get our first project on the shelves. Your contributions are helping me achieve my dreams in reality, meanwhile getting your hands into the film production industry!
  • This is my first film, but I've hardly gone without a camera in hand for years, making videos in different genres to challenge and flex my ever growing skills as a filmmaker! Nature videos (mostly hummingbirds in super slow motion), skate videos, comedy shorts, and a late night talk show formatted web series! 
  • Filming is more fun than you could possibly imagine, and I will continue to make films and tell stories for the rest of my life...I know no other way! With your financial help, we can make this incredible film together!

Risks & Challenges

If I'm being honest, of course, the filmmaking industry is an extremely volatile place. There are never any more guarantees here than in any other profession. However, I believe that true storytellers always stand out...and I have been blessed with a passion for great storytelling!

  • I feel what qualifies me to overcome the hurdles of this industry are my attention to detail, my ability to create completely original and intriguing storylines, and my unrelenting perseverance.
  • I feel that many of the challenges facing the industry today stem from the lack of new stories, and complacent people at the helm of these big money movies...and it literally has us falling asleep in the seats! I say, don't throw more money at a problem that couldn't possibly be bought out, and start getting new people, passionate for a change in filmmaking, into the industry!!!

Other Ways You Can Help

Of course, if you can't contribute financially, there are other ways you can help:

  • Please spread the word about me, my project, and my passion!
  • Be sure to use the Indiegogo share tools, post it on your social media pages, and tell your associates, friends, and family!
