As some of you may recall, the details of this movie were posted on the old board. Unfortunately, the makers of the movie did not reach their production budget goals of $500,000. The quotes that are listed below are from their website:
However, the producers are still planning on making the movie. At great personal expense to themselves (not everyone is a Mel Gibson), they are now borrowing the funds from individuals. They offer a two-year payback on the funds everyone donates to production.
Please consider donating what you can to this case. Take some time and read the Rants and Raves on their site. They have an animated concept teaser available for viewing.
They are also looking for talented songwriters, singers or composers who might be asked to perform in the movie. If you think you have the talent, send an e-mail with a sample of your work. Details on the International Songwriter Search. Imagine who cool it would be to have one of your songs, or your voice, in an independent movie!
Please consider downloading the Promissory Note and sending a loan/donation.
Recap: After ten long years of rollercoaster development hell in Hollywood, we decided to make HOTB ourselves. From June 1, 2003 to August 31, 2003 we ran an unusual internet promotion to raise funding for our film by pre-selling DVDs and videos, as well as accepting donations. Our goal was to raise the minimum production budget of $500,000 by the end of the promotion. We came close by raising $437,681.25. We said at the beginning of the promotion that if we did not reach our minimum goal, then ALL funds collected would be returned. As of September 8, 2003, that is exactly what we did.
However, the producers are still planning on making the movie. At great personal expense to themselves (not everyone is a Mel Gibson), they are now borrowing the funds from individuals. They offer a two-year payback on the funds everyone donates to production.
THE NEXT STEP - Starting Jan. 1, 2004, we have raised $300,000 by refinancing my home along with personal loans from our supporters. We start shooting HOTB in Los Angeles this spring. As the project progresses, updates will be posted under the Production News banner to the left.
We are still accepting personal loans and donations in hopes of reaching a budget level that will allow us to produce an award-winning quality film. If you are passionate about exposing the hypocrisy and abuses of the religious right, then please click above to help us make this movie.
