A NEW CHAPTER - FINDING THE AUDIENCE
Here we are after after 20 months of post production, about to enter the most important stage of this or any film project. Sharing the film with an audience.
This is especially important for woman centered films. Statistically only 33% of all movie roles are played by women. During the summer that drops as low as 10%. in many parts of the country where there are only multiplexes, there are
no films playing with women centered stories. None.
(NPR article: where have all the women gone?)
Though there are a growing number of opportunities for online distribution, the essential experience for filmmakers (as in the theatre) is with a live audience. It's the only way we learn anything, really. WE NEED YOUR HELP TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.
THE FUTURE
This campaign is about more than just one film. It's about the future of a filmmaker. It's about the ability to transform this experience into the launching pad for the next film...and the next. By finding the audience for Tiger Lily Road, I can create the context for another production. My future is literally in your hands.
CALL TO ACTION
So the question becomes are you satisfied with what the Hollywood system is offering you? Or are you like us, hungry for stories that are more original, more unpredictable, that offer greater representation of women and that transform the cinematic experience into a deeper understanding of the the human condition?
If the answer is yes, hit the contribute button below help me achieve my dream of doing a theatrical run for Tiger Lily Road. You can help us UNLEASH the power of indie film. MAKE A CONTRIBUTION.
What We Need
There are a number of steps on this road to the audience. The plan includes expenses for:
--Film festivals - each submission is $40 to $100
--A killer website
--Promotional materials - posters, post cards, flyers
--Registration for the November AFM film market in Santa Monica, attended by buyers
from all over the world
--Master copies of the film: DCP, HD Cam, BluRay
We are pursuing distribution through established companies and are also building a list of arthouse theatres to which we can take the film directly.
Your generosity will get us there. Even the smallest action can make a difference and will be deeply appreciated. It's easy!
