A labor of love: If you’re a fan of Tim Burton films, and love movies then you’ve got a lot in common with this cast and crew. We want to tell this story and tell it with a unique visual style similar to Hollywood films of the 1950′s. Our budget is set to the minimal amount it will cost to make this film with the production values needed to capture the look and feel we’re aiming for. Completion of this film will depend on a lot of favors, and some compromises so any pledge you offer will help lift the quality of the film and minimize our production challenges. Come on board! Join us in our journey to bring this film to the screen; we’re looking forward to sharing the fun with you and plan to keep our backers fully updated on the production of this film…
