FEATURE FILM

 

Director: Alberto Ivan Garcia Mendoza

I have been working in video and television for the past 15 years mostly as a photojournalist for various news stations throughout Texas, and now I find myself in Southern California. Telling stories and making movies is a great passion of mine nothing fulfills me more than to share my vision with the world. Geronimo's Curse is a project that I have been working on for sometime now. At times it hasn't gone exactly the way I would have hoped. Raising funds. finding locations, finding the right actors, dealing with all the creative and logistical aspects of making a movie sometimes can be overwhelming, especially if your a one man band  Sometimes you find your motivation plummeting. Negative thoughts start creeping inside your head thoughts like "You can't do this", "Its to big of a project", "It cost too much money", "Just move on to easier things", and the list goes on and on. If your an artist like me you know exactly what I am talking about. I previously raised a few thousand dollars to film what you see above, but now its time to send this production into over drive and raise $10,000 to complete an amazing trailer filled with more behind the scene videos, cast interviews, photos, and more promotional material that I will need to get investors on board to finish the entire movie. There have been so many people already that have pitched in and supported me along the way but the task isn't done yet. My goal is to resume filming in late June 2018. I plan not only to film a trailer but to complete 25% of the film. The goal is to raise $10,000. I will be putting in $7,000 of my own money. I will be filming for four days straight which will cost $17,000. I have provide a detailed budget for you to view on this page. I am asking for your help in completing this trailer and ultimately the movie. Be part of something great!! Thank you
