Old Saw's Stolen Gear
Donation protected
As some of you know our office space got broken into this weekend, and our little film business took a pretty big hit.
Last week, after weeks of planning , we set out on our biggest week yet. We booked talent, spent over a thousand dollars on equipment rentals, found locations, hotel rooms, printed fake bus stop signs, and filled gymnasiums with smoke. We worked six, twelve hour days shooting, and we got to last Friday exhausted, but ultimately super excited. We had shot our best footage yet. We dropped off our gear and went to earls for a beer.
We received a message yesterday morning that our office had been broken into, and when we came in thousands of dollars worth of gear was gone and all of our hard drives and backup hard drives were stolen. It was a sobering moment as we realized that all of our work from the past week, and month, on multiple projects was now gone, as well as the majority of our owned equipment to make said projects.
As corny as it sounds, we are filmmakers, and love this craft. Both Dan and I know we are going to be in this game a long time and plan to let this just be a speed bump and keep on making stuff, it's discouraging and hard financially for us, but we are going to finish every project that we started this past month. This page is an attempt to recoup some of the costs, and get back to where we left off from. Your support means a ton...
