Greetings everyone!!! I know I know it has been a while since my last blog post. But I promise I have a good reason...Really I do. Since my last real post I and my team have been working on a very big secret project. I couldn't say much about it until we had confirmation that we were going to be able to really do it. Well now the time has come to get everyone on board. We are going to be shooting an adaptation of a Stephen King short story. Yes you read that correctly, and yes we do have permission from the man himself to make this film. That is the great news. The not so great news is that we have a lot of stipulations that make it hard to try and engage people in this project. The first is that we cannot make a dime from this film. That's okay because on the films we normally shoot we don't make any money on anyway so, ha ha ha(that was my Peter Griffin laugh). The real bad news is that we only have a year to make this. Some of you are saying right now oh a year that is plenty of time. Did you see that, I gave you the slanted eye look, hold on you missed it let me do it again..... Now you are looking at me like why, why is he giving us awkward eye. Well I'll tell you it is because we have been trying to get a push for this film since April. Some of you are doing the math right now and you are almost.. yup there it is you got it. April is fast approaching again and we don't have a complete cast nor do we have our budget yet. So you see we are in a state of emergency!!!!! CODE RED CODE RED; DANGER WILL ROBINSON DANGER!! So you realize you are our only hope Ben. . . . Was that too much? Alrighty. So here is the issue we need to raise about $5000 dollars, we need to finish casting and we need to secure the rest of our locations. With that being said, this is where you guys can come in. Yes we need your money. I think that has been established and most people take that as a given. However more importantly we need you to participate, we need you to get involved, share with friends and join the team if you are already part of the indie film scene that is great; if you are looking to learn than we would love to have you too. The money is just a small part, well it is a large part, but it does not mean as much as the support of the people that live here and see you everyday. Living here in South Carolina we are all well aware of our states past. We have seen artist and other talented people that are from right here leave and claim another state or city for their success. It is time that we break that cycle.Help us to make something that can stand out, and put South Carolina on the map for something positive, for coming together and making a work of art.
