Bloody Shame Short Film
Donation protected
Last year was an amazing year for me. I got my life together in so many ways. But...I’ve struggled to figure out where my place is in the creative world anymore. I’ve gotten a better job, started a small side business of my own...but I wasn’t sure if I was an actor or creator anymore. Debt and bills had taken the glimmer away from the hustle and bustle of the stage.
I ended up writing this scene to help a friend develop material for her reel...and then someone said to me, “You should make this a short film.” For the first time in a while, I was excited. Excited to sit down and write drafts. Excited to hunt down a location and choose a cinematographer. Just...excited :)
So, I’m producing this short film. My short film. The story takes place at some headlines from Hollywood scandal of today and sets it in the 1940s. A Hollywood titan, who has ruled his mount in the entertainment world however his passions have seen fit, has a run in with a dame that will show him his choices have been a bloody shame.
Funds will be used to pay the cinematographer and pay for the location rental. I’m keeping the filming right in my hometown of Pedro, which I am very proud to say. We also will be submitting it to the Cannes Film Festival.
I know that there are many worthy, in fact far more worthy causes you can give your money to. But if you have $5 to send our way I would be truly grateful. This film won’t change the world. It won’t be a great social piece that will rock the ages. However, it is special to me. It’s my first short film.
