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!
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:
So 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.
