The Perilous Plots! Poster [Work In Progress]

Expected to shoot within the next few months.

Final Production Ending Spring.

I’m Salvatore Zeppi, a passionate NJ filmmaker and storyteller with a love for creating unique, thought-provoking cinema. The Perilous Plots is my most ambitious project yet—an anthology feature film telling five captivating stories about artists and their obsessive pursuit of their craft.

This film is incredibly personal to me because it explores the beauty, struggle, and madness that come with chasing creative dreams—something I deeply relate to as a filmmaker. With your support, you’ll be helping bring this vision to life, funding essential elements like actors, visual effects, and marketing to complete the final chapters of this anthology.

  1. The Paint!

A struggling artist stumbles upon a mysterious can of paint that brings his dreams to life—but as his creations grow more vivid, he must confront whether his newfound power is a gift or a curse

2.  The Performance!

A heartbroken mime tries to win back his lost love through the perfect performance, but when a gifted guitarist steals the spotlight, his obsession with reclaiming the stage takes a perilous turn

3.     The Pawn! 

When a family brings home an old TV from a pawn shop, they discover a genie trapped inside, granting them three wishes. But as they indulge in its power, their blind greed puts their own daughter in danger—turning their wishes into a living nightmare.

4.    The Pay-line!

A desperate gambler, down to his last dollar, is given the secret to winning the jackpot by the enigmatic owner of the casino. But as his luck shifts, he begins to question whether his newfound fortune is a blessing—or a trap he can never escape

5    The Prophecy! 

A failing magician, desperate for an audience, turns to a psychic for guidance—only to find himself caught between illusion and true supernatural forces, where the line between performance and reality begins to vanish

 

Together, we can create something extraordinary and share it with audiences everywhere. Your contribution, no matter the size, will directly help us tell these powerful stories. Let’s make The Perilous Plots a reality!

To bring The Perilous Plots to life, we’re looking to raise $12,000. I’ll personally be contributing $3,000 of my own money because I truly believe in this project. Here's how your contributions will help:

Where the Funds Go:

  • Actors: Ensuring we work with talented individuals who bring these characters to life.
  • Production Costs: Props, costumes, and set design to make each story visually captivating.
  • Visual Effects & Post-Production: High-quality editing, sound design, and visual effects for the final touches.
  • Marketing: Spreading the word through festival submissions, promotional materials, and screenings.

 Unique Perks for Backers:

  • Exclusive Behind-the-Scenes Content: Get access to the making of The Perilous Plots!
  • Your Name in the Credits: Be part of the film as a contributor.
  • Limited Edition Merch: Posters, t-shirts, and more inspired by the film!
  • Private Screening Access: Watch the film before anyone else.

If We Don’t Reach the Goal:
Every dollar counts! Even if we don’t reach our $12,000 target, your contributions will go directly toward completing the next two stories. These funds will ensure we can pay our cast and crew fairly and produce high-quality work while scaling back some elements, if necessary.

 

Your support means the world to me and my team. Together, we can finish this film and share it with audiences everywhere!

The Perilous Plots isn’t just a film—it’s a celebration of creativity, passion, and the relentless pursuit of art. Each story in this anthology dives into the human experience, exploring how obsession with our craft can inspire, challenge, and transform us. By contributing, you’re helping to bring these powerful and relatable stories to life and share them with audiences who will connect deeply with their themes.

As a filmmaker, I’ve dedicated my life to telling stories that leave a lasting impact. I’ve successfully created short films that have been featured in festivals like the Asbury Park Film Festival and the New Jersey Spring Film Festival. Those experiences taught me how to manage budgets, work with talented teams, and deliver high-quality films—even with tight deadlines and resources.

This project is the culmination of everything I’ve learned, and your contribution will ensure it’s made to the best of our abilities.

By supporting this campaign, you’re not just helping a film get made—you’re supporting independent cinema, creative storytelling, and the many artists working hard to bring this vision to life. Your generosity will have a direct impact on the team, the audience, and the future of indie filmmaking. Let’s create something extraordinary together!

 

Every creative project comes with its own set of challenges, and The Perilous Plots is no exception. Producing an anthology film means juggling multiple stories, locations, actors, and production schedules, which can get complicated. However, I’m confident in my ability to overcome these hurdles thanks to my experience and the incredible team I’m working with.

Here are a few potential challenges we may face:

  • Time Management: Coordinating production for multiple stories is complex, but with detailed planning and a carefully crafted schedule, we’ll ensure everything runs smoothly.
  • Budget Constraints: While we’re aiming for $12,000, indie filmmaking often requires creativity to stretch every dollar. My team and I are experts in guerrilla filmmaking and know how to get high-quality results on a tight budget.
  • Tight Deadlines: Completing the final two stories while maintaining quality is a top priority. I’ve tackled tight deadlines in the past, including producing films for festivals in just weeks, and I’m confident we can deliver on time.
  • Unexpected Setbacks: Whether it’s weather, location issues, or last-minute changes, I’ve learned to stay flexible and adapt quickly to keep production moving forward.

What qualifies me to face these challenges? Over the past few years, I’ve directed, written, and produced multiple short films, many of which were completed under tight constraints and accepted into film festivals. I’ve built a network of skilled collaborators, and together, we’re prepared to handle whatever comes our way.

 

Your support will give us the tools and resources to overcome these obstacles and ensure The Perilous Plots becomes the high-quality film we’ve envisioned. Thank you for believing in us!

 

Not everyone can contribute financially, and that’s okay! You can still play a huge role in helping us bring The Perilous Plots to life. Here’s how:

  • Spread the Word: Share our campaign with your friends, family, and anyone who loves art, cinema, or supporting independent creators. A simple share on social media, a quick text, or even word-of-mouth can make a massive difference.
  • Use Indiegogo Tools: Indiegogo makes it easy to share campaigns—use their share tools to post on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or wherever you connect with others.
  • Be Our Ambassador: Talk about the project, why you’re excited about it, and why others should support it. Your enthusiasm can inspire others to get involved.
  • Engage With Us: Follow our journey on social media, leave a comment, or send us a message! Your support, in any form, helps keep our momentum strong.

 

Every bit of effort counts and gets us one step closer to finishing this film. Together, we can create something truly special. Thank you for being part of this journey!
