Support the Arts

I announced my new project in my last post. Now I have the details!
End of the Innocents is my short film adapted from my new feature script of the same name. We are planning to shoot the short at the end of June and are currently in high gear pre-production. Securing locations, putting together an awesome crew and also looking for the perfect actors to bring this story to life.

So far we have attached:


His resume includes seven years a
Byron Sully on Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman,
amongst other impressive credits.

And,


Eve's talents can be seen in Land of the Lost and
recently in episodes of CSI Miami and Bones.

We are also in the throes of raising money for the production to cover equipment rentals, locations and required insurance.

This is where you have the opportunity to participate! There are a couple of ways you can become a part of our production and even end up on the set:

1) Buy something from my website where all proceeds of sales go directly to my film and you get a credit on the film. Check it out

2) You can become a backer of the film through our page. Head over there to see our pitch video and check out the great rewards attached to the pledge levels. Pledges are as low as $1. Every little bit will help.

Raising money for artistic endeavors is extremely difficult in the best of times. And since this is a not-for-profit project, I'm doing my best to offer valuable gifts in return for your monetary gifts. Making this compelling and important movie means everything to me. If there is something I can do for you - such as a photo shoot, a poster design, a consultation or photography lessons - I am totally available in exchange for a donation to my Kickstarter page.

Feel free to email me if you have any questions or suggestions about how I can get this film from the script to the screen: innocents@cheshercat.com

And please tell all your friends about the project by linking them to my sites:

Chesher Cat: http://www.cheshercat.com/overview.html

The Kickstarter page is the page where I will be posting frequent updates. There is already a video of Eve Mauro and a 'Backers Only' post where backers can read the first two pages of the script.

THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
