Hi you guys & welcome to our Indiegogo page! 

I’m Marian Yeager, writer/director of The Conway Curve. My sister Elizabeth and I are filmmakers in Austin, Texas and we just completed production in May on our first feature film ever – The Conway Curve.

We’re here on Indiegogo again because we had such fun during our campaign back in December and really need to raise some finishing funds aka money for post-production that we thought lets do it AGAIN!  

Now, if you watched our pitch video you saw several stills from the film…it looks absolutely beautiful right? The amazing thing is the story is just as beautiful and wonderful as the images…this is a film that needs your help!

Conway Curve is an independent feature film, shot in and around the Austin, Texas area.

The film follows Natalie Conway (Veronica Wylie). 

After her father (Casper Van Dien) passes away, Natalie believes she will forever be on her own. 

So when her long lost brother, Luke (Bradley Snedeker), returns after a twenty-year hiatus she’s elated. He’s a missing piece to a familial puzzle that she believed lost.  

Feeling guilty her brother was left nothing, Natalie decides to split her inheritance with him...

...but, when she is mugged after leaving the bank, it’s abundantly clear that others have taken an interest in her newly acquired belongings.  

This is a twisty turny family dramedy caper where cons get conned, players get played, and trust is just a 5-letter word.

Our plan is to complete the film by mid September. That would put us in the perfect position: right at the very beginning of the top tier film festival submission period. Plus, it makes it possible for us to go to the American Film Market where we can begin talks with distributors. If we can make this schedule, there is a GREAT chance we could have distributions by next year.

What needs to happen so we can make our schedule?  We are about 75% through post-production. We have an amazing cut of the film...which is SUPER AWESOME! But we need to finish the sound edit / mix (90% done), the score (composer has written 60%), the color correction (90% done), the visual effects (10% done), pay the license for 3 songs, and add in the opening titles & end credits. The entire post crew are on schedule and working very hard, but we're quickly running out of money and need just a little help pulling together the remainder. With help from you and this campaign, we will be able to COMPLETE our wonderful film and begin the search for distribution, which translates to you and the world being able to watch The Conway Curve in one or multiple distribution outlets.


Let me break it down for you…funds from Indiegogo will be used for:


Other than bragging rights that you yourself helped make a feature film…we can give you proof to all that bragging…Check out our fun and flirty Perks over to your right or look at our cheat sheet below:


You can help…
and you will have helped make a movie!

Our motto has been from the very beginning, “every penny counts.”  We believe in this motto because it has brought us this far. We made it through the perils of production and have come out the other side with a wonderful cut of the film. All because individuals, many of whom we didn’t know, took a chance on our film and us. 

Conway has been financed solely with donations, not a single investor, but by just regular awesome people. 

And we’re kind of proud of that fact. So believe us when we say YOU can help! If you can do $5 dollar, $2 dollar, $1 dollar, that’s awesome we will use it and we will finish this baby because…every penny counts.


The movie industry is all about risk and making an independent film is no different from a studio-financed film in this way. But the risk has gone down substantially because we’ve already gotten through the most precarious part of the filmmaking process: Production. That doesn’t mean we don’t have a lot of work ahead of us but it does mean the risk is so much less.  

We already survived:


S
o how do you know backing this project

will actually lead to a finished product?



 We have completed production.

 We have completed picture edit and have a locked picture.

 We have around 75% of post production complete.

 We have successfully produced 8 short films, 4 of which went on to become award winners and found distribution.

 Our short films have given us invaluable experience in filmmaking and the film festival circuit.

 And the most important things we’ve come this far we can’t stop now.

   

Conway Curve
is an entertaining & heartfelt film.
It needs to be finished & you all need to see it.

What qualifies us to achieve what we have set out to do? 

Well, the whole team has worked in the film industry 20+ years. We are a determined lot. And our director and fearless leader doesn't really understand the words "give" and "up" when they play together. If you just look at the trailer you can see we have the skill and talent to back up everything we've said here. 


There are always going to be problems when you are making something. 

But the way we handle problems are to face it straight on and together to find a solution. Such as we find ourselves today. We need money to complete this baby. We're not just putting this campaign up and hoping for it to work. We've applied for several grants, are hard at work gathering everything we can for the Texas Incentives, we're even having a garage sale to pull in every penny we can get so we can pay all of our post folks and kick off our search for distribution.

We know that some can't help in the monetary way. That's really okay. We completely understand…our pockets are pretty much full of lint right now too. But that doesn't mean we can't help in other ways:

Greenbacks are AWESOME but sometimes
what's even better is making some NOISE.

One of the best ways to help us is spreading the word! Let people know you support our little film. Tell them all about us and our campaign. 

Share and liking this campaign is SO important.

Go ahead…you know you want to….click that ever loving SHARE button right here on Indiegogo. Show us you care.

And that's all there is to it.
