So last week I started the Kickstarter campaign to try and source funding to do a re production of our class project for festivals. It's not that I feel our project is not good. I do, I feel it came out pretty good for what we had to work with, however to compete, we need more. So I started the campaign with the goal set pretty low, $5000 as we don't need a huge amount to pull this off. We would need to acquire help with the filming process. The sound problems that we had were a nightmare for me, and I come from a sound background! Having a designated sound man would be beneficial and necessary. Then there was the acting..... We used child actors. They had various levels of experience and interest in the project or acting for that matter. Tyler is re working the script to make it more age appropriate to a r rating and we will be adjusting the characters age range to 17 or so from 12 to 18. The oldest role, Brandon would be 19. This would free us to do a bit more with the dialog, language as well as way more violent and gore, which it totally lacked in our student film. We felt collectively that we had to hold back on a lot because of the ages of the actors and that was also the case with the dialog. I allowed my so Alexander to say a few choice words to spice up his role a bit and add to his narcissistic demeanor of his character.
Now back to our crowd funding campaign, it is going very slowly. I created a Facebook page for the film and tried to get the buzz going and we have had minimal response. Hopefully in the next 28 days we will receive at least a few pledges. Here are the links to the Kickstarter page as well as the Facebook page.
