Want a film credit?

April 18, 2008 | posted by Scott | Leave a Comment

Okay, time for some more shameless plugging of stuff for family members. :-)

You may recall, back in January 2007 (was it really that long ago?) - I wrote a post about my sister’s fiancé’s short film “For All the Marbles”. Well, he’s now co-written a screenplay for a feature film which he will co-produce and direct. They’ve started quite a phenomenon with their means of raising the money to get the film made - they’re making the film on pocket change!

People from all over are donating small sums (and some not so small sums) to help get this film made. It all started with a jar, and some change out of someone’s pocket, and it’s become much more.

Anyone who donates $100 or more also gets a “Funded by” credit on the film.

You can learn more at their blog Pocketchange Film, or their Facebook group I’m Making a Feature Film with Pocket Change.

For All the Marbles

For All the Marbles - a short film at On the Lot

Well, this really has nothing to do with what we do here, but I want to get this out to as wide an audience as possible…

My sister’s fiance, Kris Booth, is a film maker. He’s entered a contest to get on an upcoming television show:

On the Lot is the groundbreaking new show brought to you by reality show mastermind, Mark Burnett, and legendary producer and director, Steven Spielberg. Over the season, the 16 filmmakers will produce short films in every genre every week and the viewers will vote on who gets eliminated. The winning filmmaker will take home a $1 Million development deal!

So, please head over and watch his short film - For All the Marbles - it’s really quite good. I hope you’ll enjoy it, while helping Kris at the same time!

Thanks!!!
