Project Hobbes

Sadly, I cannot edit the amount we need but due to the film needing to be SAG(union) & with proper covid protocols & permits it will take a lot more than $5000. Please donate whatever you can. 
 

This film is a reflection of society and brings the infamous Thomas Hobbes theory of human nature into play. "Human nature is selfish and will do anything to feed their appetite. Hobbes concluded that humans were stimulated by "appetite" or movement toward an object, similar to pleasure and "aversion" or movement away from an object, similar to pain. Hobbes's doctrine that human behavior is directed by self-interest is now known as psychological hedonism. It follows a group of individuals with messed up psychological tendencies, who all wind up in court mandated group therapy, and must now navigate their upside down worlds, in order to get their lives back. 

 I own a multi media production company, Yellow Rain Productions, that mainly makes indie films and collaborates with other artist, actors, crew members, and writers, all while promoting diversity and equality in the workplace of Hollywood. I have created 2 film festival accepted short films, and one award winning one. I recently shot my first feature film and the film will be released to amazon next year. With this film, I plan to introduce a unique opportunity to young filmmakers with a lack of opportunity: a hands on internship for high school seniors and college students in school for film, as well as young adults with a passion for film, who could not afford equipment or college. This opportunity would allow for young people to actually explore various roles on a film crew set, who have a passion and drive to do this for a living, offering them film credit and resume experience. Positions would include: script supervisor, makeup(students in cosmetology), 3rd A.D., gaft assistant, grip, etc. Roles they would never have access to in a traditional setting in the film industry during filming. We would also provide them the opportunity to pitch any script ideas and collaborate in the future to make their films come to life.

I already have actors in mind, a cinematographer with lots of experience, music and an amazing crew, all ready to dive in. All we need now is full funding!

The goal is to sell the film to a distribution company once it is all done.
