Our Story

We are a group of filmmakers who have been working on this passion project for the last 8 months. And just recently we held a successful campaign via Kickstarter in which we reached our previous goal of $7,500. This was an amazing accomplishment that can only be attributed to all the gracious donators who had our back and helped us to reach the finish line as well as our dreams in making this movie a reality. But even after all this we unfortunately undershot the amount of money that would be needed to film this entire project. For starters, our original budget set upon reading this script landed between $15,000-$20,000. This amount was calculated based upon locations, stunts, and other varying factors. Yet due to time constraints and our belief that we could get this done by cutting the budget in half we chose to set our goal at $7,500. We did this believing that we could get this film completed as long as all variables went according to plan. But as with life, these variables decided to shift a bit causing a slight detour in "Exit 13". Actor's schedules changed and locations went up in price due to these date changes. In addition, we are filming in a city that thrives on the Entertainment industry, meaning it is a lot harder to receive locations and other much needed assistance without exchanging that green piece of paper. Though we expected this to a certain degree, specific locations have proven to require a bit of a budget re-adjustment.  As of now, we have filmed 5 full days of this movie, and have a little less than a week left to complete this project and that is where your guys come in. In order to lock in the remaining days we have calculated $4,000 to get us there. Totaled with the amount we raised previously we would still be well under the $15,000 mark in order to complete our feature film "Exit 13" and create what we believe will be a Horror Classic for many generations to enjoy or rather fear. Every little bit counts and we appreciate any and all of your support as we continue to live and breathe the art of film.

THE INSPIRATION BEHIND "EXIT 13"

With regards to Exit 13, we have deployed scare tactics that pay homage to such classics as The Exorcist, The Shining, The Amityville Horror, Wolf Creek, and Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Elements from Kubrick to Hitchcock can be found intertwined within this film, yet all ideas are original. Rather than relying on blood and gore to scare, which runs so ramped in today's Horror films, we have taken the approach of striking the imagination and allowing ones mind to float into a place that is much scarier than what the eye can actually see. So we encourage you take this trip with us...a trip that you may never forget!!

The Impact

As mentioned above your donation will make sure "Exit 13" get's completed and in the can. Every bit donated  will go towards finishing out our final filming days that we have left for this project. The impact of your donation is hard to sum up in words but please know that every cent given feeds our dream and will give light and breath to "Exit 13" as well as help to support the many people that have dedicated the last 8 months to getting this project off the ground.


What We Need & What You Get

The $4,000 that we are asking for in this campaign, will come in addition to the $8200 we have already raised for this project and will be applied mostly towards the remaining locations that need to be locked down, including the main cabin for "Exit 13", which has already been scouted and negotiated. As well as the Gas Station, main "Exit 13" vehicle, gas for the road trip scenes, food for the cast and crew, and special effects needed for the horrific happenings that occur along this Exit. Even if we do not reach the full $4000, every bit will get us that much closer to securing the remaining locations needed in getting this movie finished. Each donation counts and even if we do not reach the full $4000 we will find a way to finish this movie for every contributor, fan, and individual to enjoy. As mentioned previously "Exit 13" has already started filming, so please be assured that your donation will be used, even if the goal is not met, in completing this film and it DOES help.
