BIG NEWS! I'm Producing My First Feature Film! Feb 07, 2023

Show notes

Today’s the day! I’m officially executive producing my first independent feature film! After months of planning, it’s finally happening. The film is called Don’t Trip, a horror comedy written and directed by Alex Kugelman about a young screenwriter who falls into a dangerous relationship when he befriends a powerful producer’s eccentric son in order to sell his script. It explores the gritty underbelly of show business and examines how power dynamics and nepotism affect those trying to break into the industry. Being an independent film, it is going to be independently funded and we need everyone’s help! We have launched a Kickstarter campaign today for funding; a public benefit corporation that maintains a global crowdfunding focused on creativity. People like YouTuber Chris Stuckmann have been able to raise funds through Kickstarter for his directorial debut! Many artists have been able to make their first film through Kickstarter. Any donations are greatly appreciated; even sharing this message would be just as much appreciated! I look forward to this new opportunity in this industry and hope you are just excited as I am. I can’t wait to bring you all this film along with Alex and our amazing team!
