LOG LINE:
Mickey Costavento is a mob boss who is just about to get out of prison after serving time protecting the omerta. Can he get his rag-tag, moronic group to work together to begin business in this fast-paced society that makes the family an outdated, antiquated vestige of the old ways?
Mickey Costavento is just about to get out of prison after serving a five year rap for something he never did. Following in the ways of the omerta, Mickey kept his silence, served his full sentence, and gets released. Without contact from his gang while on the inside, to prevent additional trouble or longer sentences, Mickey eventually discovers that his rag-tag crew have created a new business in his absence, when in fact, they only created it because they blew through Mickey's savings from working the scene so many years. But focusing on this new business is going to prove to more difficult than Mickey ever really expected...
Mob on the Run was initially a movie script created by Michael Belveduto in 2010. The essence of the film would highlight an inept group of low-level mobsters who run amok trying to run a new business front they know nothing about, while maintaining the bookie end of the syndicate business. The script and ideas translated into much better projects as a web series, since as the machine of the internet is a much bigger, perpetual animal.
What are we doing here?
We need funds during this first stage of financing to help pay for a camera, microphone, and recorder used to film the series. Without these essential things, the project doesn't go very far. And that's why we need your help. If you've even read this far down, you may be interested to know that we do have almost all the other essential equipment, but we're lacking in these key areas. And we have people experienced in using these items, once we secure them.
So... What are we buying?
We're shooting for the Canon T3i and some (limited) accessories, a Zoom H4N, and probably a Audio-Technica AT897 microphone. Yeah, it's a camera, a recorder, and a microphone. Perfect for shooting this show and sending it out to you, fine folks!
How can I learn more or stay informed?
You could visit the official website, MobOnTheRun.com! It's not much at the moment, but eventually it will be loaded with goodies from the show, including (but not limited to):
- Previous scripts from the different episodes
- The ability to see behind the scenes photos and graphics created for the show
- The chance to watch excerpts and interviews from the show
- Merchandise from the show, including some of the actual props and wardrobe
- Ringtones from some of the music from the show
- The Official MotR Blog
- And anything else our minds can think to let you have!
NOTE: Many items that will be on the website will ONLY be available to the people who help contribute to this show! That means you need to spend the 5 minutes signing up here and donating, or donating directly from the MotR site!
What if I don’t want the incentive, I just want to support?
No problem, there is a button that you can select if you don’t want the reward.
Can we exceed the goal?
YES! And this would truly be amazing! Exceeding our goal would allow us to make a better show. IndieGoGo will allow as much money as is given before the deadline. We have set our goal for this first stage at the low end so if we were able to exceed it, it would be a dream come true and it would allow us to get more of the show done.
Who does the money go to?
Every penny (minus the fees for IndieGoGo’s involvement) will go directly to the show's equipment budget - i.e. Your money goes directly to the funding of this show.
