Synopsis:
The Moody family struggles with keeping their video store afloat while in search for their missing daughter & sister, Laura, who along with her siblings search to uncover the dark secrets of their family's grisly past.
A small family video store owned by Gail Moody and her children is struggling to stay in business. Her twin daughters, Laura and Joyce, cannot be more different: Laura, the wild one and Joyce, the responsible one, (or so we are led to believe). Her oldest son, Sean, tries to help his mother keep things afloat. Gail somehow manages to keep the business operating; there is an influx of cash, but Gail won't reveal where it is coming from. Laura has disappeared, or so some people think. Unbeknownst to her family and friends, Laura has gotten involved with criminal forces that funnel cash. Those criminal forces are orchestrated by someone called "The Director" and his sidekick, Olive. Joyce suspects that there is something very wrong. Sean’s girlfriend, Heather, wants to investigate Laura's disappearance, even though Sean thinks she is nuts.
Supporting 'The Director's' schemes is Logan Palmer, a young musician who is in it to jump-start his music career and cut his first album. He lives with his high-maintenance partner and actor, Thelma, who pulls Logan (and everyone else) into her whirling sphere of anxiety.
And then there are Sorcha and Piper; best friends from high school and college dropouts. Sorcha is a world-class hacker whose ambition got in the way of her better judgement at an early age. Piper is a business genius with a God Complex that got her in trouble at Harvard. Sorcha and Piper, trying to make their way in the world after leaving college have become entangled in The Director's web. Sorcha, fighting her own demons, would love to find some normalcy, but Piper is dead set getting rich.
All these characters revolve around the gravitational pull from the darkness surrounding the missing Laura Moody.

Why this campaign ?
We have shot the entire project! It's in the can! We are editing as we speak! The performances and production values are spectacular!
We are working on the trailer - see our preliminary trailer above - BUT we need to finish important post-production elements such as scoring, visual effects, color correcting and sound mixing. And most importantly we need a great PR campaign so it can get seen by the right people and get picked up by the right platform!
For that we are trying to raise $10,000. to cover all postproduction, public relations and marketing of the project.
With your help, we can not only give this project the polish it needs and deserves but launch the careers of a fantastic group of talented actors all listed below while watching a fantastic comeback for one of the most talked about, interesting, talented iconic actresses of the 1980s!
