Afterthoughts is a paranormal crime thriller feature film, based on the mind-bending book series by Louisville, Kentucky native, Lynn Tincher. The film will be shot in Louisville, and it showcases the life of a strong female protagonist. It has the potential to bring jobs and publicity to Louisville and the surrounding counties in Kentucky and Southern Indiana. We would LOVE for you to join us by helping us raise money towards shooting a proof of concept trailer and start-up costs.
Any additional funds would be greatly appreciated and will be safely set aside to be used for the actual production. All donations and support is helpful and appreciated.
The Story
In Afterthoughts, a paranormal crime thriller, Paige Aldridge is a police detective in Louisville, KY, struggling to solve the brutal murders of her family. Haunted by visions that implicate her in the murders, she discovers that the key to solving the crimes lies in her past. Afterthoughts features an empowered, intelligent, yet vulnerable female lead protagonist. The story is the first in a series, with strong potential future revenue from additional films.
Why Louisville?
Afterthoughts is based on the first book by Louisville, Kentucky Author, Lynn Tincher. There is already strong community support for Afterthoughts, including from the Kentucky Film Commission. Kentucky provides easy permitting, and currently provides a generous tax incentive which will assist with the budget. The film commission offers a 30% production credit on Kentucky-based spending as well as an additional 5% credit available using local labor.
