Hi, I’m Mike Smith, Writer and Director of the new short film "Gala".
Have you ever felt like you were secretly competing
with the ones that you love, or the ones you used to love?
Well, that's the story behind "Gala", about a writer who's struggling with seeing his
soon-to-be famous, ex girlfriend Faye.
After being apart for two years, her acting career's taken off while his writing...not
so much.
What ensues is a little funny , a little dramatic, but hopefully shows that sometimes the heights
of our imagination may outmatch the reality.
And speaking of that, we need your help to make this a reality!
But with so many projects out there on Kickstarter to back, why should you choose this film?
Well, our dedicated team of market research analysts have done some investigative digging
into what it takes to make a truly great project....
And what did they find?
Well the first component is a great cast.
And we definitely have that.
The film stars Samantha Strelitz...
, whose numerous tv, theater and film credits includes a recent HBO pilot directed by Martin
Scorsese.
And Amadeo Fusca,..
who appeared in the last season of Boardwalk Empire, and was among the comedy roasters
at the Friars Club Roast of Jack Black.
And then of course there’s a great crew.
And we’re stocked with that.
You can check out my bio below to see some of my other past works.
Our editor was a Silver Ace Award winner at the Vegas Film Festival.
Oh, and composer Lex Casciato is scoring the film, who you can hear in the background right
now.
Hear that?
Awesome, right?
And our growing production team promises to be top notch.
Preparation.
And that's why pre-production is so important..
We have extensive experience making short film on very limited budgets, which is why
we've taken careful consideration to make sure that that number over there is the exact
amount that we need to make this film.
As our backers are so vital to this project's success, we promise to update you during the
entire production, from the beginning of the campaign until the first film festival.
So you can see - we're already 96% of the way to making a great film.
There's just that last little item - funding...
and we need your help with that.
I mean that.
So I'll hope you'll help and consider contributing and supporting "Gala".
And over there we have some cool incentives for doing so.You can receive a digital copy
of the film, receive some cool gear along the way and maybe even end up in the final
film.
And remember - Kickstarter is all-or-nothing.
So it really is a team effort 100%.
Please check our bios below to learn more about our cast and crew.
And you can follow our Facebook and Twitter pages for updates across the entire campaign.
And we thank you so much for supporting independent film-making, and for supporting Gala.
