About the Project
The Wrong Guy (TWG) it's an Action Short film located in Italy (Location pic below) about a robbery to a bank valor that goes in the wrong way...because of a very, very WRONG GUY.
The robbery is organised by The Boss, an ex-killer that runs the criminal activity whose behind the heist. He's a central character of the story even if he's no more the impulsive and aggressive guy of some years ago... He's now an uderworld boss, cruel and calcuated, followed by PAUL, his right-hand man, and LUCY his girlfriend.
Paul The Boss Lucy
Paul is a professional MMA fighter whose carrer was partially destroyed by the "mafia". He was obliged to lose an important match, but he disobey. After this episode he has found no more matches and starts working for The Boss who promises him a second chance in the MMA world.
Lucy is a stuntwoman who works in cinema industry. She mostly works in action movies and she met the boss during the filming of "Tommy"(a movie produced by him). The Boss saw her and immidiately felt in love, on the other side, she's attracted by his charisma and strong personality, or maybe she's with him just for carrer reason, who knows...who cares...

References & Moodboard
As passionate action movies lovers, our short film intends to have some of the craziest and stunning action moves we've seen on the big screen so far. Those below are the ones you'll see ,and recognize, 100% in our short film:"The Matrix", "Equilibrium" (yes, we will have a Gun Kata-fight) and the Cult John Woo's jump!
To perform those action moves in the right way, we've hired all professional stunt performer and we've spent days (and days) in technical rehersal.
I drop here "The Wrong Guy" animatic teaser! The short film wll be NOT an animatic, this video is just to show you up the pre-visual of some action moves and camera movement you're going to see soon.

Previous Project Founded With Indiegogo
Two years ago thanks to Indiegogo we shot the short film "The Red Death" that I've co-directed and co-written and we partecipated in several film festival and even won some of them :
Where will your money go?
As well known, the most of the contribution will go in the camera and lens rental. Then facilities such as coffee,food,coffee, coffee and of course eazy-up ( you can't do a movie without at least an eazy up, and if you do it, it could be better with an eazy-up) appleboxes and walkies and so on... All the equipment needed to make a great short film that is supossed to kick asses!Then there will be the post production: editing, colour correction, cgi, sound design. I'm not mentioning Film Festivals fee just because like TRD we will put the needed money for there, and be sure we will send it to a lot of these.
So, Andrea the troupe and I already thanking you for the contribution you'll give us to make this project possible and we can't wait to shoot (JULY) and to show you that we will give 100% (and more) of our energy to make this short film GREAT!
Thank you all for your support!
