30K to make RETROS

Donation protected
RETROS
MENA wants to buy a final pair before ROMERO closes the doors after 30 years and maybe even dream a bit about what her sneaker legacy could be but when Romero’s unwillingness to let go of a favorite pair gets intense an interesting compromise is made but will that be enough to keep the shop open.


I've spent the last six years working on this script and I finally feel confident that the world is ready to see this story come to life, and to bring it to life I will need the support of film lovers, sneaker heads, binge watchers like you to get this production fully funded.


These funds will go directly to hiring a full cast and crew for production over two weeks and post production expenses following.


All funds go directly to the production and post production budget.


By donating to this film you will be directly contributing to the birth of this film, meaning you will see your name in the credits as a contributor to this project.  I know how much you love to watch and read those credits at the end of your favorite Marvel films, now just imagine seeing your name up there with hundreds others.  Your contribution will allow us to distribute this film on digital platforms across the globe.


Personally your support of this film means that you believe in me as an artist and writer, thank you!  It also means you want to see this story come to life and your contribution is the physical manifestation of that want.  For the past two years I was plagued by the Imposter Syndrome and believed I wasn't experienced enough as a Producer to make this film on my own, and after doing the work of a Producer in News the past two years I've shed that syndrome by doing the work.  The next step was to begin pitching the story and from many different conversations about RETROS I've learned that there's a lot of interest in the story and people want to be a part of telling it. I have a script I believe in, actors I want to hire, crew I want to hire, and locations I want to shoot at it's time for the ASK!  

Will you make a donation today of $5, $10, $20, $50, $100, $1,000 ...to the production of RETROS?  Will you make a donation to help this filmmaker employ underrepresented talent and crew on this production? 


We will begin filming March 18, 2020 help us get to our goal before we call action on the first set up of day 1!


Check out this breakdown of the cast and the style we will be going for here:

If you don't have funds you can donate, but would still like to know what other ways you can contribute here are some:


1. Donate your shoes to be featured in the shop scenes, I know you have a pair of dead stock J's you are dying for the world to see!


2.  Donate your time as a Production Assistant or as an Extra (must be living in Los Angeles area or willing to travel without travel compensation).


3. Donate your clothes to be featured in the shop scenes.


4. Basically we are taking all in-kind donations that would support crafts, food, transportation for cast and crew.
