The John Wayne Gacy Murders Mini Series

Donation protected
BE A PART OF THE PRODUCTION! - TIME IS RUNNING OUT!
The perks for this fundraiser will be stopped as soon as the mini-series has completed post production, most likely by the end of February or March or 2024. The contributions are cumulative, so if you contribute multiple times, they will be added up to receive a higher level of credit.

THE PROJECT
Welcome to my fundraiser for the production of my 5th documentary project, The John Wayne Gacy Murders: Life and Death in Chicago. This project has blossomed from a feature length documentary film to a mini-series of approximately 7.5 hours in length. Production began in the summer of 2019 and the mini-series is now slated for a spring/summer 2024 release. The series is a highly detailed, historic look at the Gacy case, concentrating on Chicago locations related to the case and also ties the past into the current ongoing investigation by the Cook County Sheriffs Office to identify the unidentified victims of Gacy.

FINAL POST PRODUCTION FUNDS NEEDED
Since this fundraiser began in June 28 of 2019, on a budget of less than $7,000 raised, I, John Borowski- filmmaker, have researched the case thoroughly and interviewed case experts who were key players in the Gacy case including: Cook County Sheriff's Office Lieutenant Jason Moran, Prosecutor Bill Kunkle, Former Des Plaines Detectives Dave Hachmeister & Mike Albrecht, Channel 2 news reporter Walter Jacobson, Attorney Karen Conti, Orthodontist Dr. Pavlik, Prosecutor David Dutton, Steve Giannangelo and many others. I have traveled to and filmed in/at Waterloo Iowa, Anamosa State Penitentiary, Menard Corrections Center, Stateville Correctional Center, Gacy's Childhood home, and other locations across the Chicagoland area.

There has been an outpouring of support from fans who have helped in so many ways and it is very appreciated. In addition, I have sold many of my personal belongings from my collection to fund the film. I have done much so far on a very limited budget, BUT now the time has come to take a realistic look at what final funds are needed to complete this epic film. To complete the Mini Series properly and on time, I am seeking a total amount of $25,000.

This final contributions are for:
1) Close captioning the mini series. Cost: $1,000
2) Final Stock Footage/Photo Licensing Costs: $1,200
3) Blu Ray Authoring Cost: 1,500.
4) Blu Ray Replication Cost: 1,500.

WHY MAKE A GACY FILM NOW?
The John Wayne Gacy case is still open as Lieutenant Jason Moran of the Cook County Sheriff Office is heading up the Cold Case initiative to identify the final unidentified victims of Gacy.

WHY HAVE THE FUNDRAISER?
Many people ask how they can help. This fundraiser is a way for everyone who is interested in my work to help produce and finish my mini-series. The current distribution method of streaming does not afford the ability to create more films, as it once did in the past. 

WHERE ARE THE CONTRIBUTIONS GOING?
The contributions will be used towards the production to complete the film.  

PERKS
There are no physical perks for this fundraiser. Instead, you may contribute any dollar amount. Here is what you will receive for contributing:

$5-9: Special Thanks in film credits.
$10-$200: Credit in the film as contributor.
$225-$300: Credit as an associate producer.
$1,000 & above: Credit as an executive producer.
(All credits will be included in the film and on IMDB.)

(For credit, amounts can be contributed at once or over the time of the fundraiser and the total contributions will be added up once the films are complete.)
