Hello, I’m Amanda Rothrock and I‘m currently a student at Colorado Film School in, you guessed it, Colorado. Right now I’m working on my third year film production called Yesterdays’ Blues. When finished, this will be a short science fiction film that I will promote through the festival circuit. Having written the screenplay myself, I am completely committed to this work of art and will see it through every stage of production.
In the past I have always funded my own projects. But now, with my first major film production, I am at a more professional level and the scope of this project is so great that I cannot fully fund it myself. That is why I began this campaign. I can make this an incredible film, but need the support of the artistic community to do so.
Specifically, I am asking for help funding the production process. My team and I are finishing up the pre-production leg and are in need of both financial and other types of support to begin photography. I need $3,000 to pay for essentials like location deposits and rentals, wardrobe items, small props, special effects make-up, prosthetics, and a specialized make-up artist. Most importantly, I need funds to feed my incredible crew and cast that are working for free.
Any type and amount of support is greatly appreciated. If you can’t donate financially, I would still love for you to donate your time. Spread the word about my project to your family and friends. Help me drum up some awareness, or even volunteer your time as a crewmember if you live in the Denver area. This film is a special project and it’s important to me that I do everything humanly possible to create the best work of art I can. In the end, this will not just be my film, but a film for everyone involved and everyone who supported me, including you. Thanks in advance for donating to my film.
I think my team and I have developed some unique perks for our contributors, including some one-of-a-kind artworks that can be hung on a wall or worn on your back. Check out the rewards section for a full list of Yesterdays’ Blues rewards packs. They won’t last long!
