Before shooting, we need to create the different elements which will give life to the film universe :

- Fashion the costumes

- Create the claws for the main character

- Build a scratchable wall and a sizzle neon light

- Buy the props

While shooting, it consists in having the right tools to create the film the director thinked up and to ensurethe crew's wellbeing, they're going to work 4 nights in a row, of which 2 outside. We already got the camera and sound recorder. The crew is working for free. They allow the film budget to be cut off by 2/3. But we still need you for :

- Rent light

- Buy food for a crew of 10 for 4 days

- Rent a utility vehicle

- Cover freight charges

After the shooting, we have to edit, grade and mix the film. We also ned to create the communication medium : posters, press kit, DVD. We own most of the post-production equipment and the crew also accept to work for free. But we still have to fund :

- Print posters and press kit

- Pay shipping fees and submission fees for festivals

- Create video medium (HDcam, DCP)

- Make a film premier in a theater

Finally the cost inherent to this fund raising :

- KisskissBankBank's commission

We'll spend every penny of your contribution on making the film as good as possible, and keep you in the loop about where we're up to.
