Two men meet in the middle of a bleak, infinitely flat desert. Clinging to the last shreds of their existence, neither character can remember how they got there, or the last time they saw anything – a person, a town, any sign of life.
The film’s layers of metaphor and meaning begin to unfold as the characters warily assess each other. Their conflicting and complementary characteristics reveal the film’s underlying paradox: they both rely upon and threaten each other’s survival. The tense, symbolic narrative becomes further complicated with the revelation that one character is carrying a piece of the other’s soul, though neither person knows it.
This visually stunning short examines the intricacies and contradictions of the human condition. Created by Co-Writer/Director team Greg Tuzin & Brent Bishop, this production was shot on location in 35mm, and brought to life with the support of an amazing cast: Robert Miano (Donnie Brasco) and Dion Derizzo (E.R.), and an incredible crew, including cinematography by Virgil Harper (Tremors, Young Guns II), practical effects by Chiodo Bros (Elf, Team America), and original musical score composed by Paola Prestini and performed by Kronos Quartet (Requiem for a Dream, The Fountain).
Principal photography was completed May 2008. WITHOUT is now entering its final phase of fundraising. Funding will support: sound design and score, color correction, and CG matting to remove mountains from the stark desert location’s horizons.

WHAT MAKES THIS PROJECT DIFFERENT
|
|
WITHOUT captures beauty and desolation, personal and universal meaning. It is a short with feature film production value, cast and crew, including an original score by Kronos Quartet (Requiem for a Dream, The Fountain) and performances by Robert Miano (Donnie Brasco) and Dion DeRizzo (ER).

| HOW THESE FUNDS WILL BE USED |
| Hopefully this is our final request for funding. We have distribution, but need to raise the final money for broadcast tape production and Quality Control. We are actually in need of about $3500 but $1100 will get our audio stems out of hock and ready for final final sound. We are now on a tight deadline to get the tapes made so any help is appreciated. Thanks so much for your help! |

Hi everybody. We are making one last fundraising push for WITHOUT. We need to raise $1100 to get our final audio from Skywalker Sound, and around $2000 for the Quality Controlled Television Broadcast tapes for our distributor. Any help at this point would be huge and would help us immensely. We are on a very tight deadline, and are so close to being finished we can taste it. Indiegogo.com has made fundraising super easy. Just click, and it’s done. Plus, read about our VIP perks. We’ll be holding an event/screening in september, and anyone with a $100 or more donation gets 2 free passes. |
