Hello, my name is Scott Winn, Executive Producer and Creator of "From a Certain Point of View: The Civil War ; Star Wars Stories". I have been working in the Film and TV Industry for the past 15 years, working on projects from "The Dark Knight Rises", "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" to Season 2 of "The Mandalorian". From a young age growing up on film sets, I have learned and observed much of how the Industry works in many capacities, from Special FX, to Cameras, and the overall Production side of things.
This Fan Film aims to bring together INDUSTRY PROFESIONALS and DIE HARD FANS to make the most ambitious Mandalorian Fan Film to date!
Our Story
The story follows a brother and sister Mandalorian who are caught on very different sides of the political spectrum after the devastating Night of a Thousand Tears. Tensions get hot, Mandalorians are known for being hot blooded, and with weapons being a part of their religion, you can kind of guess what happens next. This is the story of the Mandalorian Civil War between The Children of the Watch, and The Mandalorian Resistance after the Night of a Thousand Tears.

VFX
Our Visual FX Team consists of several industry professionals who have worked on several Marvel features, Television Shows, and the upcoming Lion King Sequel.
What We Need
ALL of this budget is going to fund this as a not-for-profit fan film. In prep/pre production, we will need funding to create the costumes, props, build up the sets, design, mold, paint and test practical Special FX. We also will need to plan, schedule, storyboard and organize in order to begin production / principle photography. Stunts will also require additional preparation and rehearsals. In production, we will need funding for the film crew, stunt equipment, locations, permits, travel, equipment rentals such as cameras, lenses, lighting, heavy equipment, support and production needs, etc. In post production, we will need funding for editing, sound design, minor VFX/CGI work, color grading and correcting, as well as one of the most important elements, scoring / composing the original music for the short. What is so helpful as film professionals is that we have the resources and relationships to obtain everything needed for far less than someone new or less experienced in our field. $20,000 will get us far more and allow us to create a short film that looks like $1,000,000.
What You Get (AMAZING PERKS!)
Getting YOU involved obviously allows us to make this film come to life with funding but our project allows for a completely unique and exciting way of joining you with our team through the perks. This project aims to create a fan film that brings Star Wars fans together. BY FANS FOR FANS! The way we do this is not only the final film that forever lives on but the way in which you, as a donor, to be a part of AND have actual pieces of the project. Our perks include actual costumes, props and custom pieces that are unique, extremely limited and in many cases one of a kind. We blend that with donors being able to join our team; From being a member of the crew, being an extra in FULL MANDALORIAN ARMOR all the way to being a producer with DIRECT INPUT TO THE PROJECT who get a call with the director and producer, where they can even make suggestions that are not listed on the perk itself in order to find a way to further your involvement in the project. We truly and deeply want all donors to feel like they are part of making a Star Wars film...and definitely one that they will forever be proud of.
If we don't make our goal, the film WILL still be made. The challenge of course becomes ensuring we aren't sacrificing the quality of the work while also ensuring all involved in creating it have the proper and necessary tools to do so. This is the truest form of a "Passion Project". The closer we get to our $20,000 goal (and maybe beyond), we eliminate the need for cutting corners or sacrificing the creative.
