PAPA BEAR

Today @AbeTheMighty and I start the scariest part of trying to make an indie movie: pre-pro, which includes asking folks to invest so you can rent the requisite cameras, lighting, and human talent.

Details in thread, but here's an intro video:

For 15 years, all we've wanted to do is make movies. We even got to make one, called "Kill Me Now," which you can watch on YT for free. Since then, we've had a script stolen and a lot of false starts trying to "do it the right way."

Kill Me Now -
But it's been too long, so we're going indie again! Let's just do another one ourselves, KMN style. By "ourselves" we mean us plus anyone who has something to contribute and wants to hop aboard. Here's our script, look book, and business plan.

And, if you're willing, please consider RTing this thread or otherwise sharing the project with ANYONE in the UNIVERSE you think might respond to the story, themes, or like to work with us or invest in the film. You contribute so much just by spreading the word, you have no idea.
If my comedy has ever connected with you in a big way, please consider this me asking you the one favor you owe me. I won't do it again for many years, if ever. This is my story, my sister's story, my father's story, and one I really believe in and want to share.
Feel free to reach out to us at allthesmallbeans@gmail should you have a resource to share or an interest in getting involved directly, either as an investor or otherwise. Our door is open. Let's talk.
Oh, and if anyone can reach the Cherry Poppin' Daddies, we really want them to do the score (of the making-of featurette)!
