Midnight Massacre
Donation protected
The fall of one empire will bring resurrection to another.
Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears...
This is the tale of William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar set in an alternative modern day time, the science fiction movie titled Midnight Massacre is near completion and only needs a little more backing to finish production.
It features a talented cast that includes Linda Harrison who is famous for her co-starring roles with Charlton Heston in Planet of the Apes and Beneath The Planet of the Apes, Don Pedro Colley from George Lucus's sci-fi classic THX 1138, Byron Cherry who starred as Coy Duke in The Dukes of Hazzard, and Matt T Metzler from the new movie The Maze Runner: Scorch Trials.
What We Need
We've already shot the majority of the movie and only have special effects scenes left. To achieve a better look and acquire proper film distribution we are seeking the help of all of you to help us finish our trek and to give the movie the special effects that it deserves.
Without the funding we still plan to finish the project no matter what. However with the extra budget it can be experienced the way it was meant to be. Although we work with some Hollywood actors we are by no means a Hollywood budgeted film company and we don't have the deep pockets that they have.
The other side of that is that because we don't film in Hollywood and instead film in our hometown Warren and Youngstown Ohio area we can stretch the money that we do raise to a greater extent.
Most Hollywood studios invest millions of dollars into their productions. Since we are not California based we don't have the fee's associated with our productions that they do. We feel that for a fraction of the cost we can produce movies that are just as marketable, and we even are able to use some Hollywood actors. Our entire crew resides in the Youngstown and Warren areas and all have full time jobs, which hinders our shooting days.

The Story
The story is based on William Shakespeare's infamous play, Julius Caesar. Other historical characters from that time are included as well, such as Cleopatra. What makes this independent movie stand out from all the other movies currently in production? The screenplay differs uniquely from the play in that it takes place in a modern day setting, yet preserves the soul of the original story.
We have already been approached by five different distribution companies and a sales rep, which is an achievement in and of itself. Understandably, they have requested a screener. Naturally, we aren't comfortable with producing one until we have the necessary effects.
