OUR MOVIE, "The END of FUN", which I have been ranting and raving about for several months practically non-stop now NEEDS YOUR HELP! Movies like this, with stories FAR OUTSIDE the mainstream, just WILL NOT be considered by the HOLLYWOOD system! Now, as I have said in previous posts, not only do I really like some stuff that is churned out of Hollywood, but would gladly accept at least one or two of their paychecks (...as I'm sure would most of my cast and crew)! The ENTERTAINMENT and the MOVIE WORLDS are certainly big enough to account for and accommodate both.
THIS MOVIE? "The END of FUN", while relatable, easy to understand and follow, as well as being full of many fairly standard cinematic elements (drama, comedy, action, heroes, bad guys, etc.), simply tells a story that needs to be ITS OWN THING. It needs to be TOLD IN A WAY that ALLOWS it to be its own thing.
INSTEAD OF INTERFERENCE from STUDIOS and PRODUCERS, everyone involved in this cast and crew TRULY wants to bring you our COLLABORATIVELY CONSENSUAL UNIQUE, MAD VISION. This movie will purely represent the EXHAUSTIVE EFFORT of a collection of the most PASSIONATE ARTISTS in front of and behind the cameras to be found ANYWHERE in Southern California, or maybe the whole damn world.
We want you to TRUST us, NOT a bunch of non-creative guys in SUITS only focused on how to get your picture on a cup at a fast food joint! But for that to happen, we WILL need your HELP!
The web address above is the EASIEST way to ACCESS our Kickstarter CROWDFUNDING PAGE... if you are ready to get started and really don't want read a bunch more of my howling at the creative moon! However, if you are a repeat visitor and reader, by all means, read on for more details and exact steps you may choose to take!
ALL OF THE PIECES...
We have now hired ALL of our primary cast-- a group of actors so talented that you will simply never forget their characters nor their performances. We will be making a VERY EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT with more news on casting tomorrow. As you saw in yesterday's post, we have been putting together an amazing crew that will be headed up by Jessika Mikus as our Director of Photography and Assistant Director. We have LOCKED DOWN our LOCATIONS, and you soon the whole world will get to meet THE CARRIAGE HOUSE in its first starring role as "The CarryOut" in "The END of FUN"!
EXCEPT YOU!
EVERY PIECE is in place...EXCEPT the FUNDING! And, that dear friends, family, fans, and FUN-KILLERS, is where you come in. And BELIEVE IT OR NOT...Just READING these words makes you nearly as important as every one of those folks who are going to work like slaves with me to bring this vision to life FOR YOU!
Simply reading about our project-- and even having the smallest DESIRE to HELP means the WORLD to us!
HOW CAN YOU HELP US REACH OUR GOAL?
FIRST? Just go to www.KaraokeNoir.com. This will take you to our Kickstarter Crowdfunding page.
THEN? Make a donation! It's easy. ANYONE can click on the $1 "F.O.T.W. Reward/Donation" and once you are there, you may donate any amount you want from $1 all the way up to fulfilling our very reasonable goal of only $13,000. (See pic below and CLICK on it if you want to be taken IMMEDIATELY to our Kickstarter page!)
All of us hope to see MANY people take advantage of the F.O.T.W. ("Fly On the Wall") level since it really allows you to donate about any amount you want, and as little as one dollar. Make sure you also look at the other rewards, though. Some like the T-Shirts will be EXCLUSIVE and limited to 30 or 40 and then...GONE FOREVER!!!
OR? Take a look at all of our other Reward and Donation Levels. We REALLY tried to OFFER a WIDE VARIETY of REWARDS and donation levels. (CLICK the picture above to be taken there immediately!). You will truly have our eternal appreciation for any donation you make, no matter how large or small.
IF YOU HAVE NO MONEY AT ALL? That is absolutely OK too. You are READING THIS, so that means you HAVE INTERNET. All of us on this production are very dedicated artists and just barely scraping by (*until we DO make it!), so we certainly understand, empathize, and sympathize with anyone who cannot afford to make a donation. If you do still want to help, however, all you have to do is SHARE OUR LINK www.karaokenoir.com on ALL YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA!
IF YOU BELIEVE this is an amazing project, PLEASE TELL OTHERS! Send them to the Kickstarter page using that link (www.karaokenoir.com) or to our Movie Page on Facebook: Facebook.com/ENDofFUN and please "LIKE" us while you are there (tell your friends to do the SAME!). You can also follow us on Twitter @ENDofFUN and share that with your friends too!
Our Kickstarter page will be updated DAILY (sometimes several times per day) with EXCLUSIVE PICTURES and VIDEOS with our cast, just as THIS BLOG will! We really hope you will continue to stay tuned here and there BOTH!
WE DEFINITELY BELIEVE! We believe in the story and the screenplay. We believe in the talent we have gathered in front of and behind the cameras. We believe in our schedule and our budgets. We believe in creating something that is worthy of GOING to and WINNING at Film Festivals such as South by SouthWest in Austin Texas, which is our first goal. MOST OF ALL? WE BELIEVE IN YOU!
THANK You in advance for any and all forms of assistance you do provide for us at this VERY EXCITING TIME!
