Siblings!

Greetings all! I have been dying to make my first narrative feature film for 30 years! Something always gets in the way except for NOW.

Screen Credit and IMDB Credits for donations.

Special Thanks --   $ 50
Associate Producer --   $ 350
Executive Producer --   $ 750
 
WHY ME?
This is based on having 4 Siblings I grew up with and has a basis in truth - exaggerated truth but still truth. My career as a comedy-juggler turned stand-up comic and screenwriter has paved the way to write the broad comedy aspects and the prop-related pieces in the story. A few years ago I was set to direct a different script of mine with a Golden Globe winning actress but it fell apart and Covid has dashed my dreams of filming that for now. This compelled me to write a one-location, more intimate feature which I can do on a minimal budget - despite Covid.
 
WHY NOW?
Also because of Covid I have turned to a delivery job - I know, right?? But this one is great cuz I deliver Cannabis products and everyone is always happy to see me arrive! I have been saving all my tips to help fund this feature. I can honestly say that my best customers have a hand in this project and YET it will not be nearly enough. Actors and Crew have to eat and equipment has to be used. What I do have for free is a house as a location, some good friends to supply some of the equipment, and nearing retirement age - I have the “if I don’t do it now I will never do it” drive to get this done. (60 is the new 40, so there’s that.)
 
VETTED: I do have over 250 IMDB Credits, helped get Christopher Plummer an Oscar, won an Emmy Certificate and have a Director's Award. I did have 2 of my original TV Pilots in development and 3 Horror scripts in line for funding - all for naught I'm afraid.
 
Please help me make my dreams come true.
 
 
Thank you and stay well.
