You often hear about passion projects, stories that
filmmakers are fighting to tell and often do so with smaller budgets than they
would have initially hoped for. Perhaps, then, most short films (excluding the
preludes to animated features) are passion projects. In these shorts,
filmmakers often attempt to convey strong emotional statements that they
believe should be expressed and often with little hope of turning a profit.
We are going to make An Endgame a poignant and beautiful piece. By submitting to film festivals around the world, we hope to seek recognition for all of the talent and creativity that will go into making the film in every area from photography to acting and direction. For this specific project, it is not just important to me that we make a beautiful short film, which engages the audience both visually and emotionally, the type of film that raises difficult questions as well as dramatic and emotional responses; emotions that will make you feel alive or possibly outraged based on the fate and choices of the story’s characters. For this project and for me personally, it needs to be something even more.
As is, the making of a low-budget short film is already an uncertain financial venture. Thus, with the support of my production team, we shall attempt to take a less traditional route economically. Rather than trying to profit maximize, we will attempt to raise funds by collecting donations for Parkinson's disease research.
I am truly excited about the prospects of this film both artistically and philanthropically. It is my belief that as people recognize the talents that have gone into making An Endgame, those involved will have the opportunity to work on larger projects with bigger budgets. In other words, we will be obligated to many more people and unable to do something of this directly charitable nature in the future.
However, in order to successfully make An Endgame as a philanthropic endeavor, we must first fully raise the budget for the short film. The majority of our budget will most likely be collected from individuals and groups who desire both to support the filmmakers' talent as well as to help raise awareness about and for those afflicted by this yet to be cured disease.
