Little do they know that a deranged killer is lurking in the woods nearby.WHERE IS THE MONEY GOING?Glad you asked. To some of you $15,000 may seem like a lot of money for a movie, and to us it is. However this doesn't even begin to touch what an "actual" indie style movie costs. We made Blood Junkie for $7000 and we are super proud and excited the way that turned out. This new script is a little more complex and we want to push the realism, effects and scare factor even further. That is why we are asking for $15,000.Breakdown:$3,000 - Props, wardrobe, and set design.$2,000 - Camera Package rental$2,000 - Other equipment - Lights etc.$4,000 - Craft Services or food and water for the cast and crew over 20 days$1,500 - Gas/several vehicles need to travel several miles and as we all know it's expensive.$1,500 - %5 of our money raised goes to Kick Starter and another %5 goes to Amazon's processing fees. That's %10 of our budget we have to plan on losing.$1,000 - Last but not least your Gifts for your Donations. Those all cost money as well so that is another cost we have to figure in.THANKS:Thanks to anyone who has helped already with the fundraiser shoot and prep for the film and a "Special Thanks" in advance to anyone thinking about donating. We really do need your help. If we don't reach our goal of $15,000 we get no money at all, so even passing the word on to all of your friends and family would be greatly appreciated.Official BILLY CLUB Website: http://www.billyclubmovie.com/BILLY CLUB Kickstarter Page: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/79722976/billy-clubBILLY CLUB Facebook Page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Billy-Club/127941687294467
