I’m excited to announce that this July I am shooting a short film in Bellows Falls, VT entitled “The Tick Tock Time Emporium”. It’s a modern fairytale about a little girl with a sweet smile and a penchant for petty thievery who discovers a mysterious pawn shop on the edge of town that buys and sells time. Good Time, Alone Time, Quiet Time, you name it, they have it. When she’s caught trying to steal some time, she learns that the real value of time is determined not by how good it is, but by who you spend it with. Humor, adventure, fantasy, adorable scene stealing 10 year old lead actress, lead actor with credits that include “Happy Days” and the horror classic “Critters”- we got it all.
This film has built an incredible team of over 25 professional crew and actors. We have also brought on over a dozen local high school and college students as interns, working to learn the craft of filmmaking in an intensive and hands on way. We are working with the community of Bellows Falls to make this an event the whole town can participate in and enjoy – culminating in 2011 premieres in Vermont, Boston and New York hopefully followed by an international tour of film festivals.
With the support of grants and a few broken piggy banks, we have raised over half of the $20K budget for our project – but we are still in need of those final funds to transform this from a great idea into a great film. So I am reaching out to friends and family to ask for help to get over that final hurdle. Any support you can give is greatly appreciated and goes directly to building the sets, renting the equipment, and feeding the cast and crew. And I mean it when I say any amount: $10 buys breakfast for 3 crew members. If you have any suggestions for fundraising resources, or other forms of in-kind contributions (food, equipment) please let us know – we are grateful for all help!
Of course in exchange for your support, you will get to see your name in lights – in the THANKS section of the credits. But wait, there’s more!
