Welcome! NEWS: Joseph Attianese from Joe Rock Productions has just become an Executive Producer on The Prospects to help get this film through post production!
Most of you know that I have spent the good part of the last ten years trying to become a filmmaker. I have hesitated to call myself a filmmaker, though, because I have never, up to this point, made a feature film.
That is about to change. With your help, I am going to do “the Robert Rodriguez” and make a feature film for nothing. And by nothing, I mean $25,000 USD. I have recently written a script just for this purpose, of which I am very proud, and whose 98 pages have been tailor-made for a super-low budget.
With your contribution, my film will get made this summer. Through this website, I am reaching out to you, the people who care about seeing me succeed. If 1,000 friends pre-purchase the DVD of The Prospects for $25, we will have our budget. If 200 friends pre-purchase the DVD and 200 friends donate $100, we will have our budget. If 10 donate $1,000…you get the picture.
I have gone through many ups and downs to end up here, and now I humbly, earnestly, and urgently ask for your help. Thank you so much!
