Overview
Our first feature, IN WINTER, explored solitude and suffering. THE HUNTER studies emptiness and the construction of meaning. The film examines Pleasure (a lonely Man and Woman), looks at Wisdom (a compassionate, detached Philosopher), and pokes fun at life (a group of theatre-folk rehearsing an abstruse performance piece). All is nested inside a higher frame - a harried Director and her fastidious Editor, making a film about the people and the play. Thank you for your help.

Short Summary

This is a team that makes good on its one aim : to create world class independent art film regionally, in the northern Midwest.

We are reaching out to those who support genuinely risk-taking independent film. The campaign for THE HUNTER will allow serious supporters of thoughtful work to join us as we create the absurd gem that this film will be.

Our poetic, meditative IN WINTER, which saw 8 festivals, was labeled "..A masterpiece of a film..." by Steve Kopian of Unseen Films, and was acquired by Dreamscape Media for international distribution.  

Our passion for filmmaking hasn't waned. Our experience on our first film puts us in a position to realize another level of vision. THE HUNTER will express that vision.

What We Need & What You Get

Our shooting budget is significantly more than our Indiegogo request. Our funding plan calls for support from all arms of the octopus, so to speak, including crowdfunding, giving those who want in but have less than $1,000 to offer an opportunity to be part of the work.

Funds will be segregated in a dedicated bank account until commencement of production. Should we, for any reason, fail to shoot the film, ALL financial inputs shall be returned in full to all supporters (indiegogo or private patrons).

Supporters with $1,000 to offer (or multiple thousands) should contact ancienneecole1@gmail.com to discuss ownership of shares in the project.
