Box Elder follows four best friends through their last years of college. Dependent on their parents financially, and on each other emotionally, they spend their time sleeping in, hanging out, and eating lots of sandwiches. Using break-ups and re-occurring scholastic failures to impose a quarter-life crisis, they take turns postponing responsibility, avoiding accountability, and looking for someone or something to substantiate their lives, all the while hedging their bets and mastering the art of treading water and getting away with it.

WHAT MAKES THIS PROJECT DIFFERENT
|
|
In order to distribute this film, director Todd Sklar created his own touring distribution company called Range Life Entertainment.
In one sentence Range Life Entertainment is a premier provider of new distribution solutions and alternative sources of financing for independent filmmakers.
The company has since completed 2 successful film tours around the country with 4 feature films, and is planning a third tour this fall with several additional films.
Additionally, the production of Box Elder itself was unique in that it was made for less than $70,000. Most of the cast and crew were working for deferred payment or very little money. It is considered a labor of love for all involved. Box Elder has had a "do-it-yourself" mentality from conception through distribution.
Check out the "media" section to read some articles about the film and the tour, and also watch some clips from the film and behind-the-scenes videos.

|
| HOW THESE FUNDS WILL BE USED |
| We still owe several thousand dollars to pay for the music rights for all of the songs in the film. We are hoping that we will sell enough DVDs to be able to pay for the music, but we can't do it alone.
We are planning to launch a marketing effort beginning in August and continuing through the end of the year, to raise awareness about the film and sell more DVDs.
In a nutshell, this marketing plan will consist of creating a new trailer, using Facebook and Google ads to promote the film online, and a tour in which the film will screen in theaters around the country this fall.
Obviously all of these things cost money, and that's where your donation money will help. Any amount will be greatly appreciated, but you can have access to the perks listed below by donating the amount listed next to each one. |
