Short Summary
We decided to shoot a pilot for a series that we're going to shop around.
We've raised a bit of funding already through sponsorship, product placement, and from our own pockets. But we're a bit short, about 5,000 short. This 5,000 will go to pay the cast and crew, pay for things like food on set, some extra gear that we need, and general miscellaneous expenses that come with producing a film.
What Will You Get?
Besides the warm fuzzy feeling you get by helping your friends? Well, there are some pretty cool perks at the side, so check them out.
What happens if the pilot doesn't get picket up?
We make it anyways. Our original intention was to not take it to networks, but recent developments in relationships has put us in a position to be able to pitch it to some pretty big people, so we're doing that first. If that fails, we'll do whatever we can to raise more money to make the first season and broadcast it for free on the web.
The Story
The Man with the Missing Thumb is about Reggie, a young girl whose obsession with comics, and pulp noir stories transcends into real-life when she finds a severed thumb on the sidewalk infront of the comic book store she works at.
Together with her best friend Alice, they set out to find the origins of the thumb, and uncover a series of mysterious murders going back 15 years. It’s a dark comedy about a young woman’s determination to do good, and the people that are trying to stop her.
