Mods please feel free to move this/these posts to wherever you feel they may best work :yes: Hi everybody! So I was asked to start a dedicated production thread here for my upcoming film, “The Unknown”, which is currently in Pre-Production. There’s going to be a ton of info on here...

Sent you a message! :yes:

@bird, I absolutely can start up a dedicated production thread! I can't give the actual business plan as it is confidential, BUT I can go through a pretty detailed "virtual" version ;) That is something that I know I would have loved to have been able to see when trying to figure this process...

That is awesome! I will absolutely be checking that out :) The other thing I want to shoot is one of the bioluminescent bays. Any tips there?

Awesome! Thanks! We definitely will be shooting in El Yunque, and that's one of the things we plan on getting is a nice waterfall with a lower pool, so that helps huge :)

Yeah, it was a little short lol. But what it did exceptionally well was to gain the attention of all three of our final investors, who upon meeting with us and seeing our business plan, all signed on immediately. Our first meeting with investor one, we got $24k. Then our first meeting with...

Thanks!

I wanted to give a quick update to thank everyone for their comments and support, and to let everyone know that we not only got our film funded, but we managed to get an additional $100k (!) for a total budget of $400,000.00!!! We could not be more excited about this! We have a total of 3...

Thanks guys! The first two interviews are going up tonight on the indiegogo page: www.indiegogo.com/The-Unknown They'll be under the "Updates" section :)

Thanks! At this point all principle roles have been cast, however there are a handful of featured extra roles still uncast, including a fairly prominent one at the end of the film. Feel free to email me your headshot and resume at: brent@steephillfilms.com I'll be happy to get back to you!

Okay so I'm editing the interview videos with myself, the producers and two of our actors. How long do you guys think these should be? I ask because, even edited down significantly they are all around 10 minutes, with mine closer to 20. We definitely cover a lot and these will absolutely be...

Thanks! I do have it in writing, but she was also very specific that it has to be gained through our campaign. Basically, if we can get $30k, it shows her that either 1 person has enough faith in the project to invest $30k, or 30,000 people have enough desire to see it that they were willing...

Okay so we can't change our goal once it's set, BUT I have been in talks with one of the investors who is extremely interested in the project and she said if we can get just 10% of our goal, $30k, we will get our financing for the rest!! Super stoked about this! Please donate now and help us...

Amen to that brother!

That's pretty typical for what I shoot, although I have been known to love really long takes and have shot up to 16 pages in one day lol.

@ trueindie and wheatgrinder, thank you! @directorik, all absolutely good and valid points. I'm so used to working on extreme shoestring budgets that a 7 figure budget seems insane lol. Truth be told, at $300k I'm not even getting paid anything, only cast and the rest of the crew. I opted to...

Yeah, it's pretty sweet :yes: Well, one of them saw the link on a forum like this one and just watched it and then sent me a private message through indiegogo. Another one (the real estate investor) was referred to the campaign page by a friend who thought it was something that might interest...

Nope, never met them before in my life. Two of them are people who have invested seriously into other films, and one is a real estate investor looking to get into film investing.

@ rockerrockstar Thanks :) I also prefer the numbers versus spelling them out. It's really a countdown, so spelling it out wouldn't be as impactful (imo). The down ending I was referring to is in films like Se7en or Saw, when it's not necessary to have everyone die, but it definitely ends on...

Thank you :)
