<div><strong>Help Launch Black Boots NYC</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>A new hybrid studio for film, fashion, and media.

</div>

<div>I’m Darek Dylo—writer, director, and founder of Black Boots NYC. After years of making independent films and building momentum on the festival circuit, <strong>I’m launching Black Boots to create a new kind of creative engine: one that blends cinema, fashion, philosophy, and media into a unified, independent platform.</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>What We’re Doing</strong>

</div>

<div>We’re raising $80,000 to formally launch Black Boots NYC and kick off our first major productions. Your support will help us:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<ul>

<li>Produce three cinematic short films: Dinner Eclipse, Mustang Mom, and Hell No.

</li>

<li>Develop the infrastructure of Black Boots as a fully operational studio.

</li>

<li>Roll out our first capsule clothing collection and coffee table magazine.

</li>

<li>Expand our media platform with interviews, discussions, and artist features.

</li>

<li>Host community screening events and build our creative network.

</li>

</ul>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Every dollar goes toward building Black Boots into a sustainable, community-rooted space for independent art.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Our Big Picture</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>These three films are just the beginning.

</div>

<div>Our ultimate goal is to expand into larger feature films—starting with Black Boots, a feature currently in development that will require additional funding and potential studio backing.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Three potential projects are outlined:</strong>

</div>

<ul>

<li>Dinner Eclipse: a bizarre and tense dinner party in a warehouse ($8k budget).

</li>

<li>Mustang Mom: offering a fashion integration opportunity with a breakout star on a press tour ($20-30k budget).

</li>

<li>Hell No: a deadly game of musical chairs exposing social issues ($12-14k budget). Links to presentations for each are provided.

</li>

</ul>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Why This Matters:</strong>

</div>

<div>After years of making films and gaining attention in the festival circuit, I realized there’s a cultural hunger for something deeper: stories that challenge, visuals that stay with you, and a studio that isn’t run by corporations but by artists.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Black Boots NYC is a call for creative independence. For meaningful visuals.</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>How You Can Help</strong>

</div>

<ul>

<li>Contribute to help us shoot our first three films and officially launch the studio.

</li>

<li>Shop our merch—every purchase helps fund our productions.

</li>

<li>Share this campaign and spread the vision.

</li>

<li>Follow us online to stay part of the journey.

</li>

</ul>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Every contribution brings us closer to making Black Boots self-sustaining.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Two of our recent films are already in development to expand into feature-length projects. The goal is to turn ideas into immersive cinematic experiences with a distinct, elevated style.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you for believing in the vision and being part of the journey.

</div>

<div>Let’s build something timeless.

</div>

<div>—

</div>
