The Impact
This short film is going to be massive. Our goal is to show the world that just because you have a shoestring budget that your film can't be filled with action, adventure, and be just as big as a hollywood flick: but in 15 minutes.
You're donations allow us to keep on doing what we're doing. It allows every single one of our production dollars to go to our U-Boat, and our crew, and our special effects. It's incredibly important.
Other Ways You Can Help

We'll be coming out with behind the scenes videos once or twice a week leading up into production. Check up on us, share us, help us get the word of mouth going. This is how the best kind of filmmaking really happens.
Thank You
