OUR BUDGET
This is the part where we ask for money…
And maybe we get a little delusional BUT that’s okay! If we are not at least a little delusional about our project, are we even making a movie?
WE ARE DREAMING BIG!
That’s what this movie is about - dreaming, ambition, drive - admittedly Roman probably isn’t the greatest role model, but he dreams big and that’s what we do here.
Here’s some films a lot like ours in character, story, themes, and style! Peep what their budgets are below!

Look, we get it! One of these films had JAKE GYLLENHAAL and another had CHRISTIAN BALE. Unfortunately, neither of them have given us a call back yet! All jokes aside, we get why their budgets are in the multi million dollar range. Our film is tonally very similar to these amazing films that influenced this project and even though we are not asking for these numbers, we are asking for what this film deserves!
We designed a story that we absolutely love but one that could be shot quicky, efficiently, and with a minimal cast using only a few locations BUT all of that is still very expensive! Allow me to outline what we’ll be spending money on below!
Here’s what our $250k goal will get us!
L O C A T I O N S
Locations are expensive. So are sound stages! But when you’re making a film based in Hollywood - you need to go BIG with both! We are building beautiful sets that highlight the caliber of a “VICTOR GOLD” production.
C R E W
We are looking to work with only the best crafts men and women and that means we need to pay them and pay them well! For a psycholigcal thriller to be executed to perfection, we need a team with a precise vision and an arsenal of skills PLUS experience!
Casting is a part of the process that we are super excited to jump into! We are seeking the PERFECT cast to surround Roman and Victor. For more information on what kind of characters we are looking to find, click here. There is debatably nothing more memorable from a film than the perfomances on the big screen and we’re hunting for professionals that will make you laugh, cry, and sit on the edge of your seat in pure suspense!
CAST
FILM SCORE
We’re hiring a gifted team of composers to put together the SOUND of this movie! Music is the rythm of the entire movie - it creates energy, tone, atmosphere and makes us feel things we’ve never felt before. We want a rich, layered and a HAUNTING score inspired by films like JOKER and SEVEN.
C A T E R I N G
The people demand good food and they deserve it! No more film school pizza! Our cast and crew deserve to eat nutrient dense meals each day they are on set and we will make sure they are fed thanks to YOUR help! Crafty, snacks, and coffee will be available on set daily to keep us fueled and working hard to make a great film!
The fun legal stuff! Our “favorite” part in making art! Yes, we do need to pay for permits, insurances, and other documents to make sure we have a legitimate production. We are not risking any of our filming days to be shut down so there’s no room around getting all the paperwork in order.
EQUIPMENT
INDUSTRY STANDARD is the name of the game. Lights, stands, cameras, lenses, dollies, audio mixers, mics (we could go on and on but lucky for you, we won’t!) all operated by a top notch team. We are investing in the right things that will make the movie POP and give it just the right look! Find our visual style here.
POST-PRODUCTION
We are hiring a team far more technically proficent than us to put this film together! We don’t need to mention the importance of post-production. I mean, it can literally enhance the entire value of a movie from sound to color to mixing sound and to cutting the performances to a tee. We’re hiring a team to handle this while we overlook the creative direction of the story!
FILM FESTIVALS
Once the film is shot and edited, the GOAL is distribution! These days it’s rare to see a film hit the theaters, but we’re the kind of filmmakers to reject that trend. We want “Seeing In Color” to hit the big screen before landing on a major streaming platform. Of course, to do that, we need to put this movie EVERYWHERE! Film festival submissions add up quick but are a great way to make sure that the film is seen by the right folks!
