<div>Hello, I’m Charles Bradbury, a writer/director based in Austin, Texas. The team and I are currently developing <strong><em>HOT SHOT</em></strong>, a film-noir thriller about addiction, moral responsibility, and the human cost of the fentanyl crisis.

<div>We’re hosting this table read as a key development milestone—bringing together actors, collaborators, and supporters to share our screenplay and build momentum toward production.

<div>Funds raised here will go directly toward pre-production costs, including legal fees, casting support, and securing 'letters of intent' from actors—critical steps in attracting full production financing. Supporters of this campaign are helping launch the film at a crucial early stage and becoming 'founding patrons' of the project.

<div>Thank you for supporting independent filmmaking and stories that matter.
