"The Creed", A Tale of Horror & Humility
Horror strikes when a young woman accidentally wins a pair of tickets for an upcoming Creed concert. When Linda realizes she can't dispose of or destroy the tickets without them coming back to haunt her, she'll soon have to face her past and confront her deepest fears in order to survive The Creed.
Heavily inspired by Stephen King horror film adaptations & campy RL Stine children's literature, The Creed is a horror comedy that asks you to confront the horrible tastes of your pre-teens that you still carry deep inside.
We're looking to raise at least $3,250 in 35 days to produce The Creed.
This production will be a labor of love and is nearly three years in the making. We're going to be creating a significant amount of in-camera visual effects, the kind of special effects produced throughout the 70s, 80s, and early 90s. Our collected vision requires a lot of elbow grease and a little money, but we have no doubt that this project is well within our grasps.
Who We Are & What We've Done
The cast and crew of The Creed have a wide array of experiences amongst them, including hit television shows, Hollywood productions in Boston and across the United States, YouTube series with millions of hits, and much more. With this project we're looking to come together and do something that comes from an honest, funny place and share it with the world.
This project is one that requires a significant amount of effort and money in order to achieve the look & feel we want, so thanks go out to anyone and everyone who's taken the time to look at our campaign.
