Donation protected
UPDATE 1/19/2020 - We have just a few more days to raise an additional $7500! Please support our efforts to shoot the Proof of Concept Trailer for our #HistoricalDrama! Thank you!!!
CALL TO ACTION: We are here to raise $15,380. to film a Proof of Concept Trailer January 25, 2020! The POC will showcase the look, feel and tone of our #historical #drama, Elijah and Jack, A Revolutionary Tale! This is a necessary next step to give our Independent Production solid footing to secure funding for our feature film budget!
Description: An impossible adventure begins when a young boy sneaks out of George #Washington’s encampment to find his father, a soldier who does not return from the Battle of Monmouth. Will the game of draughts (checkers) save the young boy’s life and get him home?
STARRING Drew Youngblood as Elijah and John Koopman III as General George Washington
Described by its creators as Huckleberry Finn meets The Patriot, the movie is an adventurous, at-time humorous, heartfelt story steeped in The Cost of Freedom, Family and Home! The movie will highlight the often-forgotten lives of camp followers who served alongside the armies of the conflict, and will appeal to families and viewers of all ages, lovers of history, and of course appreciators of good film-making.

Why a POC? A Proof of Concept is more like a short film developed on a very limited budget that's created to attract a wide audience, financial backers and well known guest stars by showing them the look and feel of our movie and what our production team will professionally accomplish.
Where are we filming? The production is approved to film both the POC and Feature Film at a well known movie set location, Berkeley Plantation in Charles City, VA. Within their expansive and diverse grounds, they offer every background and scenery we need.
For the POC, we will film the scenes: "The Paterson Farmhouse Under Attack". This scene sets the stage for the events that lead up to Elijah's Journey during the American Revolutionary War with his Pa and faithful dog Jack.
