The
dog show world could use an uplifting and inspirational
film that would help promote the sport. Too many things
have been in the news and in the media that paint dog
shows and pure bred dogs in a negative light. This film
could change all that, and help revitalize the entire
sport.
Our director on
the film (and our producing partner) is Roger Young, who
has directed over 50 movies including Hercules, Jesus,
Bourne Identity, and our own The Thin Blue Lie (Paramount,
2000). He has won 3 Director’s Guild Awards, an EMMY and
has numerous nominations. Our Director of Photography is
Donald Morgan, who has 5 EMMYS, 5 ASC awards, and is THE
most awarded member of the American Society of
Cinematographers. Our composer is Patrick Williams, who
has scored more than 200 films, has dozens of Grammy, EMMY
and even Oscar nominations, and has won many of them.
He’s also produced albums for Frank Sinatra and Barbra
Streisand. So as you can see, we are a team of top notch
professionals.
There
are over 5,500 AKC dog show clubs in this country. With this
seed money, we can reach them and get the word out to all
their members. That will link them to our website and
our Indiegogo funding site, where they will be given
multiple opportunities to participate in this project. In
turn, that will generate the money we need to make this
movie.
We
need to pay for the design and construction of our web site,
design of our logo for our products (t-shirts, posters,
mugs, rain jackets, leashes, etc.), building our email list
(with 5,500 clubs and an average of 4 board members per club
that means hiring someone to harvest those 22,000 email
addresses), creating a video trailer to put on Indiegogo and
on our website telling about the film, hiring a team to use
social media to send targeted ads, and paying for Mailchimp
to reach and organize our huge fan base, but they get an
“Indiegogo Executive Producer” credit and an invite to
the set.
This
will be the first important step in bringing this wonderful
story to the screen, and any help you can give us for it
will be greatly appreciated.
Thank
you,
