The Submarine Kid - FEATURE FILM

A marine returning to a mundane reality is haunted by his wartime past as he enters a magical and destructive new existence to expose his ultimate truth.
Donnie Darko meets The Deer Hunter in this original feature film that will transport our audiences through a fantastical underwater dreamscape and inside PTSD. 

We need to finish post production! 

  • We have nearly the entire film edited but we need another 25K to finish sound mix, color correction, VFX, music and put all those bells and whistles that will make it shine! 
  • We have some amazing perks to offer like actual props and wardrobe that appear in The Submarine Kid, signed posters, DVDs, personal messages from the actors to you, private lunches with the team, tickets to the premiere and much more. 
  • 100% of the funds are going into this last post production phase.
