An aspiring Broadway songwriter jeopardizes his relationships and budding career after he begins working with a talented singer.
The ever changing landscape of the film industry is seeing filmmakers seeking new ways of funding and marketing their films. Crowd-funding is a relatively new way for filmmakers to raise the capital necessary to make their films. Crowd-funding also allows filmmakers and fans to connect in a whole new way.
Director/Writer/Filmmaker Kevin Smith is a great example of a filmmaker using crowd-funding to bring his political horror film "Red State" to viewing audiences. Numerous other filmmakers are embracing crowd-funding as well, among them is writer - director Gary King.

A MESSAGE FROM THE FILMMAKER:
It will not be your typical "song and dance" musical as the goal of the film is not to be a spectacle, but rather a more intimate tale about an aspiring Broadway songwriter who jeopardizes his relationships and budding career after he begins working with a talented singer. The story is relevant in that it shows the artist's struggle in today's time -- striving for both creative and financial success.
I am thrilled to make a film in a genre that does not get much recognition anymore. It's something I hold close to my heart. I grew up watching musicals with my parents and was always in awe of the sheer talent of the actors on screen. Even back then, I knew there were a lot of moving parts and hard work that went into creating something so entertaining.
I believe there is an audience out there still hungry for unique musicals with a well-told story. So here I am. Ready for a challenge. Ready to make my next film. Ready to work with some amazing people who will showcase their talents as true performers — as singers, actors and dancers — which is something rarely done on screen nowadays at the truly independent level (yes, there will be tap dancing in the film!!).
However, making a motion picture is pretty expensive even when you're doing it on the cheap. Costs for things such as audition/dance rehearsal space, cast and crew, film equipment, locations, editing, music, marketing materials (posters, postcards, etc.), DVD's, film festival fees (the list goes on and on) can add up quickly. But thankfully there is this great website called KICKSTARTER and that's where YOU come in!
