Contributors Needed to Fund TURNABOUT Film Campaign
The production team, led by producer/director/writer Eric B. Hughes, seeks $13,000 by May 25, 2014 to finance the post-production of a new feature-length independent film.
Ocean City, NJ –April 17, 2014– Having completed filming for the 2014 feature-length independent film TURNABOUT, written and produced by Eric B. Hughes, the production team is now actively seeking $13,000 for completion funding. The film campaign will continue through May 25, 2014. Funds will go toward the substantial costs of editing, color correcting and sound mixing as well as movie advertising and marketing. Armed with incentives, such as offering a spot on the list of film credits for contributors of $50 or more and awarding an “extra” role in an upcoming film for $1000 contributors, the team hopes to quickly raise funds and put the finishing touches on the movie.
“The cost of making an independent film is great—there are many hidden costs,” said director, writer, and producer Eric B. Hughes. “Most of these costs occur post production and we need the public’s help to bring this film to the finish line.”
TURNABOUT, shot on location in South Jersey and Philadelphia, follows a troubled man contemplating suicide. He seeks out the help of a long time friend and together they begin a dark journey culminating in tragedy by daybreak. Award winning actor George Katt (Valley of Angels, In Montauk) plays “Billy Cain”; Waylon Payne (Walk the Line, Crazy) portrays “Perry”; and Peter Greene (The Mask, Pulp Fiction) plays “Leo”. The movie also stars Sayra Player, Rosebud Baker and Judy Jerome.
Perks have been added to the pledge levels to help raise funds. A $10 pledge gets a personalized “thank you” on the official TURNABOUT Facebook page; a $50 contribution receives the thank you, an email from the director, and the donor’s name is added to the Internet Movie Database and listed on the credits at the end of the film; a $100 pledge warrants the above perks as well as two copies of the film on DVD, plus two tickets to a private screening of the movie and an after party in New York City. Those who act quickly can claim the $1000 perk (only 15 are available) which entitles the donor to a digital link to the film, two TURNABOUT DVD copies, two tickets to the private screening in New York City, including after party, and a featured “extra” role in the director’s next film slated to be filmed in Atlantic City, New Jersey (travel and other expenses are not included). See the campaign page for details and additional pledge levels.
“I believe in this movie, and I believe in everyone who worked tirelessly to make this film happen,” Hughes said. He urges people to donate to the campaign and/or share it with others by utilizing social media such as Facebook and Twitter.
