Made a film instead of paying for our wedding

[themovieguy]

Last year, my fiancee and I decided to put our own money, time and resources into making our first film together and it was a lot harder than we expected. We had a car accident on the last day of filming, scheduling issues, casting issues, Florida weather, and countless sleepless nights to finish editing, scoring and promoting the film... but we're super excited to finally release it online. Please support independent filmmaking!

We're releasing it on Father's Day!

Good job man, visually that looks like a legit quality film that would be in the theaters. Storyline looks very interesting. I'd pay 2 bucks to support. Messed up that it releases on father's day

Sadly, that's the lower end when it comes to short films >.< This is most likely our last short film though and will jump into producing our feature film script sometime next year.

Trailer looks good man.

If it's not too private, could you give a rough estimate of where the money went just out of curiosity?

 

[Chopper]

I'm surprised this cat isn't asking for a donation already. Just wait for it.

I had a full on PDF but this is the rough estimate off the top of my head

$5,000 - Arri Alexa Mini/Equipment rental for 3 shooting days
($600) $150 a day for crew food
$1000 - Miscellaneous crew members
$1000 - Actors/Extras
$1000 - Film festival submissions
$400 - air bnbs

We were able to get a few extra thousand from private investors and one loan but the initial 10K was from savings/months of uber eats and grubhub lol/ freelance work and money that should have been towards our wedding but realized that we should invest in ourselves and careers first

No more donations here, I'm proud to say that we have a product to sell now

I will 100% bump it thanks, man

 

[sooperhooper]

Should've went towards a wedding? this trumps a wedding if you ask me. Weddings are somewhat pointless to me and just for attention but this is a work of art that took dedication.

 

[MetalMario]

tuning in. I really hate broads with actions like that

 

[koudie from brooklyn]

Much luv, Stay freshhhhh !!!
