Forward from the Director, Kysannte Dunlap

As an independent filmmaker based out of the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, my team and I have launched this campaign to offer a different kind of horror based film.  Film-making is a strong passion of ours, and we want to be able to make a film that you will not only enjoy but will be eager to be involved with.

Thank you for looking through our campaign and help us make this film a reality!

Starting from his home town in Pennsylvania to New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. During his time on a number of sets he has not only acted, but was offered the opportunity to direct a few projects as well.  He has directed and acted in short films, trailers, and music videos. 

Justin M. Seaman, Cinematographer

Justin has been making films since grade school and knew earlier on he wanted to be a filmmaker. He has been working professionally in the business for the last 15 years running his own production companies as well as distribution business. Justin became well known in 2016 when his '80s throwback horror film 'The Barn' emerged on the indie scene.

Since then he has been hard at work with multiple filmmakers joining projects as director, producer and cinematographer. He recently wrapped production and is on a film tour for his latest film 'The Barn Part II' that co-stars Joe Bob Briggs, Diana Prince, Ari Lehman, Linnea Quigley, Lloyd Kaufman and Doug Bradley.

Why funding through Indiegogo?

Any contribution will help us be able to bring more excitement, thrills, and edge of your seat suspense. The funds raised will help the hard working cast and crew that are apart of this project.  Not only for their time but the amenities needed to successfully complete this film. 

Though we understand not everyone is able to provide, we feel it's only fair to bring up the elephant in the room. What if we do not meet our goal?

What we will do, if we do not meet our goal?

Thankfully we have a team dedicated and passionate about this film. If we are unable to campaign for the full amount, these funds will be used to make a proof of concept. The concept will be shooting scenes lifted directly from the feature. In turn this will help creating a more involved press kit to take to distributors and additional investors.

How can you help?

If you want to help, but can't do so financially, just spread the word! Word of mouth through networking goes a long way! Through our videos, social media, and website there is plenty of information to show the project we will accomplish!

Thank you for reading, and thank you for any kind of contribution you added to helping us complete The Tunnel.
