The Outcasts (Short Film)
A story told through heart and humor, The Outcasts is a modern space adventure with all the nostalgic feels. We are currently in post-production and we are raising money to pay for:
- EDITING: We are almost picture locked, and it took two editors to figure out how to pull all this together.
- SOUND: Sound effects, sound mixing, ADR (sound recording of the cast for lines we didn't get on set).
- VFX: We have cut out most of our visual effects to keep costs down, but we still need some important moments.
- MUSIC: Every movie needs music to help with the emotion, whether scary or funny, music is needed!
- COLOR CORRECTION: That is where the film comes together through color matching scene to scene and putting an entire look over the film to make it feel more expensive. All the film and TV you watch has been color corrected before it goes to the public.
- FILM FESTIVALS: Once we get the film done we want to shine a light on this lovely little story and our talented cast and the best way to do that in the beginning stages of film distribution is through film festivals. Our cast and crew deserve their red carpet moment. AND if you contribute over $500 you will get a ticket to the premiere of the film to join us!
Why Join Us:
At its core, The Outcasts explores the themes of family bond, resilience, and the power of unity against injustice. It takes viewers on an emotional journey as Dav, the determined yet reluctant hero, with help from the rescued gifted kids, defies all odds against evil-doers.
We invite you to join us in bringing The Outcasts to life. Our ultimate goal is to showcase that this would be an exhilarating, heartfelt journey that will leave audiences inspired, entertained, and longing for more so it should be a full-blown TV series. Together we can help bring a family-friendly, funny and fun show to audiences everywhere.
What Do You Get By Contributing:
Besides the good feels of helping indie artists bring their film to light, we do have one special perk:
For as little as a $25 contribution, you will be the first to see a sneak peek clip before it goes out to the world via film festivals AND you will be the first to see the full film online before our online premiere.
If contributing $500 or more you will get passes to the film's premiere in your city!* (*Film not guaranteed to play in all cities. Travel and accommodation not provided, only ticket provided.)
If contributing $500 or more we do encourage you to send a check to Heart On Fire LLC to help us save on credit card fees. Please email [email protected] for the address.
