Pitch Video Shoot

Ashley Thompson – Director

8/30/2019 – We wrapped shooting the Seed & Spark crowdfunding video for our upcoming short film THE FUNERAL PHOTOGRAPHER. Our writer, producers, media team, and director Ashley Thompson were at the location for the film talking about the story, why we’re shooting this film, and how a percentage of donations will go directly to Final Farewell – a charity which provides money and services for families who can’t afford funeral or burial services for loved ones.

Stay tuned to learn more about lots of great crowdfunding incentives including producer/executive producer credits, invites to private screenings, signed posters and scripts, and even being an extra in the film!

Sawbuck Trailer

I’m so grateful for the team who helped put this trailer together!

Praised by a Hollywood reader as “MYSTIC RIVER on the ROAD TO PERDITION with a splash of WATCHMEN and THE SIXTH SENSE,” SAWBUCK is the story of a 10-year-old boy joins the hunt for a bizarre serial killer to save himself and a missing child.

Other industry feedback includes:

“Great Structure, characters, dialogue, and conflict. This guy’s good.”
– Tom Verica (RED DRAGON, HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER, SCANDAL)

“Great ride! Several twists and turns. Keeps you guessing all the way. I’d love to be in it!”
– Richard McGonagle (500 DAYS OF SUMMER, STAR TREK: VOYAGER, JAG, THE PRACTICE)

“It’s rare when a script comes along with this many entertaining set pieces and audiences will undoubtedly be constantly asking ‘what’s next?’ There will be a terrific film here, and could very well attract the eye of a great director and/or actor for the lead role.“
– Hollywood Story Analyst
