Movie Crowdfunding Campaign

Hello Video Angels,

Many of you will remember our former employee, Robert Doerr, who now lives in the Netherlands. He’s currently involved in an independent film production that’s raising funds through a crowdfunding campaign. Here’s how Robert describes the project:

“Two Truths and a Lie tells the story of a casual evening between friends that takes an unexpected turn when a mysterious stranger appears at the door. You can contribute to the production of this comedy/thriller by donating to the film’s IndieGoGo Crowdfunding campaign (https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/two-truths-and-a-lie-film-crowdfunding-campaign#/)! The campaign offers many rewards that allow you to be directly involved in the film’s production and be credited in the film and on IMDB. Among other things, you can be a funding producer, have your original art/music appear in key scenes in the film, be an official company sponsor, and even be one of the executive producers! Please consider supporting this exciting project and spread the word!”

Easily the best slasher movie in recent memory.

Amber says:
On the eve of her first period and an autumnal full moon, one of the Fitzgerald sisters is attacked by a werewolf. The teen-age sisters, Brigitte and Ginger, are definite outcasts who have always stuck together but the physical and temperamental changes Ginger experiences after the attack are causing tension. Her sister tries to find a cure before another full moon approaches. There is something oddly analogous in this film with becoming a woman and becoming a werewolf. As one tagline so aptly puts it, she’s got the curse!
