ABOUT THE PRODUCTION

Little Pink Balloon serves as the first collaboratin between the powerhouse, all female creative team of Joanna Bowzer, Lacy Wittman, Dorothy Krajewski, and Cheryl B. Engelhardt.  Adapted by Joanna Bowzer and Lacy Wittman from the stage play by the same name (also written by Bowzer), the piece was presented on the Lower East Side of New York City in Fall 2010.  Once complete, the creative team aims to present it as part of the narrative short film programs at the major film festivals including the Sundance Film Festival, the Tribeca Film Festival, the Toronto Film Festival and others.  Further, it will serve as a showpiece produce of the creative team with the ultimate focus of raising money for a feature film.

WHY YOU SHOULD JOIN US

While we could list a host of reasons you should join us in this film making adventure, we will outline the top three here.  1) This all-female creative team boasts a pedigree of film, theater and music credits, and each member is already established individually and your contribution will support this new collaboration between these up-and-coming filmmakers.  2) the unique script was carefully developed and adapted, showcasing modern storytelling techniques, but filtering them through the noir lens of classic cinema and you will be credited with bringing this new view of filmmaking to the screen. 3) This project serves as an exciting stepping stone, not only for the creative team, but also for our contributors as they will have an opportunity to invest in future projects as well as receive producing credit on a festival-bound film.

 

WHAT WE NEED & WHAT YOU GET

In all, we are raising $32,000 to make Little Pink Balloon, even though we have only listed our minimum threshold as $5,000 here on IndieGoGo.com.  As you can see, we already have footage in the can and are now looking to raise the rest of the money to complete our project.  The funds raised will go towards our post-production expenses, distribution, festival and marketing costs.

We have been graciously supported and fiscally sponsored by New York's Downtown Community Television Center (DCTV) which means all donations MADE THROUGH DCTV are fully tax-deductible. The law even backs us up on that - promise. We're also offering great perks if you would prefer to contribute through IndieGoGo.
