Our Story

Who we are:  A talented and experienced group of indie filmmakers looking to change the world for the better through cinematic storytelling. More at: http//:www.glenbrookstudios.com

What we are up to:  We are seeking development and partial production funds so we can remain on our mission to find, develop, produce, exhibit and distribute works of artistry and excellence in the world of motion picture entertainment for planetwide audiences.

Where are we:  Las Vegas, NV; Los Angeles CA; and, New York, NY.

When we are planning to do this:  Now and into the future for years to come. In the near term, we have several feature projects in the works, including: a documentary about a group of filmmakers who, with the help of a troupe of improv performers, travel across the country to stir up ideas about how to save the nation's sluggish economy. Other exciting, entertaining and socially conscious feature projects are in development. View our current projects at: http//:www.glenbrookstudios.com/gs2.htm (an entire list of projects in development will be provided upon request).

How are we going to launch our campaign:  We plan to get the word out to launch our business and raise funds through this site, our own site, affiliate sites, contacts in the press and media, and industry contacts to include private equity firms and other backers. Our company has been coming together gradually over the past few years but has been kept, essentially, in a holding pattern until we were effectively organized and ready to receive funding. We are now ready.

Keep in mind, the funds raised through our IndieGoGo campaign are for the development of our current projects and production of portions of those projects designed to attract more funding. We just need to get through our development phase and into operation and production. For example, scripts are written but rewrites are required, web pages and graphics need to be created, and much more work needs to be done before we can go after larger contributors. It's that Catch-22 that everyone faces. Can't get the preliminary work done until funds are in place. Can't get funds in place until the preliminary work gets done. Our Glenbrook Studios IndiGoGo campaign will break that stalemate and help us move forward, full steam ahead! Everything will grow from there. All we need is your support. Help us move our efforts to the next level, through whichever level you can afford.

The Impact

Our campaign is designed to create jobs, many jobs, in Nevada and across the country, to help lift our state and the country out of recession through film production/licensing/distribution, project development, business processes, marketing efforts and the stories we create on screen that inspire audiences and improve lives. Cinematic storytelling is powerful and can change the world. That's what we want to do. Make a positive contribution to the lives of others. If our campaign doesn't happen, we will still plough forward with our creative cause but it will just have to take much longer to achieve our goals (probably years instead of months).

What We Need & What You Get

We are seeking to raise at least $100,000, through this site and other means, to cover the following costs and get professional support in motion. We can't ask people for their time and talent on something like this and not pay them.

$   15,000 business & development fees for Licenses, Admin Services, Writers & Designers

$   50,000 toward initial production costs to include Film, Sound, Cast, Crew, Insurance, etc.

$   20,000 marketing & promotional costs, including Publicist, Graphics, Web, Advertising, etc.

$     5,000 toward Travel & Movie Premiere Expenses (augmented with Sponsorships)

$   10,000 for Contingency Fund & Miscellaneous Fundraising Fees (IndieGoGo, Paypal, etc.)

Other funding sources are also being pursued. The IndieGoGo funds we raise will provide a means for us to truly get started and help ensure the projects we already have in development get completed. Even if our IndieGoGo campaign gets partially funded, we will be able to keep making progress and stay in the game, in order to see our other fundraising and production efforts through to completion.
