JMC students launch Indiegogo campaign to raise money for film project

(KSUIF) students have launched an to help raise $10,000 to fund its newest feature-length film, ���Unlucky.���

The film is a comedy that follows a boy named Sam who falls head over hills in love with a girl at first sight without ever learning her name and faces unlucky situations in order to reunite with her before time runs out.���Unlucky,��� which will premiere in May 2016, will be directed and produced entirely by students. The dozens of participating undergraduate students, grad students and volunteers will gain hands-on experience and learn what the film industry is really like.

���Unlucky��� co-director Buddy Candela said that support for the film would help provide unique and real opportunities for students to learn, but to also create a great movie.

���Donating to this film is important because we have a chance to achieve our dream while we are still in college,��� Candela said. ���My whole life I have wanted to direct movies, and the fact that I am given that opportunity while I am in school is truly a blessing. Your donation will be funding the filmmakers of tomorrow.���

KSUIF���s $10,000 fundraising goal will cover daily expenses during the filming Donations will cover daily expenses including props, costumes set dressing location rentals, batteries, food, makeup and promotion. A portion of donated money will be put toward the film���s distribution and help offset the cost of producing DVDS when the film is complete.  Campaign supporters can also receive perks including posters, signed scripts, VIP tickets and a DVD copy of the film.

���The more money we raise, the better the film can be,��� Candela said. ���Every donation counts, no matter how small.���

The Indiegogo campaign will run until May 31, 2015.
