"Once Upon a Time in the Wasteland" is a love letter to spaghetti westerns of the past, as well as an exploration of where the genre could go as a whole. It places the iconic archetypes of the American west into a new frontier, one where leather-clad raiders take the place of cattle rustlers, and the charred ruins of our future replace the untamed wilderness of our past. It is a post-apocalyptic western, which tells a gripping story against the timeless backdrop of far reaching hills, jagged mountains, and dusty planes, with rugged men and women trying to survive the harshness of a second wild west.
We are escapist filmmakers, crafting movies that transport the viewer to another world or another time. But this kind of filmmaking does not come cheap. Not if you want to do it right. With your contribution we can accomplish a few very important things. Firstly, food and travel expenses. We may not be traveling to locations in covered wagons, but we still need help getting to the wide open plains of Eastern Washington, where a good deal of this film will be shot. Secondly, costumes! We want these characters to look and feel real, like true wasteland nomads. That means a lot of wardrobe, makeup, and production design elements have to come into play. There are a few other things, like gear rental, insurance, lawyer fees, etc. But that stuff is boring and we don’t want to write about it, which works out pretty well because you probably don’t want to read about it either.
At the end of the day we’re storytellers and entertainers, and we want to give you the best damn film we possibly can. "Once Upon a Time in the Wasteland" will be made no matter what, but if we hit our goal we’ll be able to achieve the quality and polish that this story deserves.
