With your help VIRGIN BLACKTOP will be finished this year! Myself and the Wizards have poured our souls and heaps of passion into this movie and I hope it shows in the above trailer – it certainly will show in the completed film. You, as a contributor will help get the story about the 9 lives of the Wizards to a screen near you and many more.

What We Need & What You Get

VIRGIN BLACKTOP is in need of exactly $44,000.00 in order to tell the story properly. Above is a pie chart that shows exactly where the funds will be distributed.If I don’t reach my entire goal I will need to cut back in the technical areas. The quality will suffer and/or thefilm could be delayed for years. If I achieve my funding goal, I’ll be psyched and you will see it real soon.Please check out my unique perks that I’ve been assembling for this campaignwhich all relate to VIRGIN BLACKTOP. The photos of the perks start right below this very sentence!

Risks & Challenges

I’m the type that relishes challenges. I get real excited when I wake up not knowing what city I’m in, I enjoy it when the airlines lose my lighting cases so I’m forced to work with a lighting kit I’m unfamiliar with. If there are any hiccups with finishing this film I will embrace the opportunity to solve them creatively. I play the game “Risk” – does that count?
