Indiegogo for "The Perfect Letter"!

http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-perfect-letter/x/9172



One hit wonder Jason Chauncey seeks to move off the literary midlist into the realms of rich famous novelist. While Jason loves mystery he is given the chance to write "The Perfect Letter", a strange horror novel based on notes given to him by his new agent, Mara Tophel. But things take a strange turn when he find out events in the novel mirror those of horrific real life events.

Financial Break Down...

Because of how I plan to shoot this the financial need will be small and breakdown will be as follows.

• Paying the Main Actors. I want to pay the main actors upfront instead of having them wait for payment. As you will see we're dealing with great actors, including a few scream queens known in the low budget horror genre. With films like these it can take awhile for money to come in so I would like to be able to pay them something as there is no real crew. 

• Food to feed the actors. In indy filmmaking the one thing you always have to do is feed your actors. And we always do so. 

• Locations. We will need at least one hotel room for a scene and one nice apartment or home and one basic studio apartment. But location fees only total about $500.
  

• If we don't receive full funding most of the money will go for feeding and paying the actors and locations, generally in that order. 

Why Support The Perfect Letter...?

Because this is an experimental feature that will stretch my abilities on all levels. I will direct, shoot, light, edit and do music for the bulk of this film. That wouldn't be a big deal if I weren't also starring in it. This is would be my fourth film, my last movie was "Epitaph: Bread and Salt" (which can be bought on eBay, right now or can be bought right here).

This is my first actual horror movie, meaning it will be more mystery/suspense versus action based, although if you know me, you know there's gotta be a few chops and kicks, but aside from action scenes and Kelsey Zukowski's scenes which she also shot herself, I will shoot everything else. This is different because normally I direct my films, but only shoot a very small amount, (basically some of the scenes I'm not in). But also support us because...

New retail cover for Wages of Sin

"Wages of Sin" is now being sold on Kunaki and sports a brand new cover that will be making it's way to Amazon.com also. This new edition, like the last, is a hybrid DVD with properly formatted 16:9 widescreen and includes two mp4 movies including The 12th Night, our first short film released to the public and the whole sound track in MP3 format.

Wages of Sin is the story of Johnny "Trigger", AKA deep cover officer Nathan Matthews, who is framed for aiding and abetting in the murder of two undercover officers, Detectives Tarantino and Rodriguez and for the slaughter of several FBI agents. To clear his name he must go on the run. Not knowing who to trust Matthews befriends Teresa, a hooker who wants out of the street life. As luck would have it she's got the goods on Nathan's previous mark, up and coming drug kingpin Eric Constantine. Matthews must find the dirty cops who betrayed him, protect Teresa, evade goons, hit teams, and an infamous assassin called "Mona Lisa". This project was shot in 2006 and went to market in 2007.

Time to Muscle Up!

Demon hunting takes a lot of energy skill and so I shed some pounds and added some muscle to get in shape for the final fight scenes in which I'll be fighting multiple opponents.

By the time you read this I'll be back at our Southside studio which will be our only studio for awhile until we can finish this project and a few others including a web series, not to mention getting back to my other web series "Action Filmmaking". I also hope to do more writing at BBN because this is going to be an incredible year in politics and culture, not to mention it seems everyday somebody's loosing their freaking mind, but what can you do?

But on another note I will be at this year's Wizard World Comicbook convention here in the city promoting the Night Phoenix Press comic book series "Epitaph" which the movie "Epitaph: Bread and Salt" is based on. I will also be signing copies and drawing personal covers starting from $10 up to $50.
