New Production Photos Available Online

Hey everyone.

We've finally begun principal photography, and we've captured some great material so far. Along the way, we've been documenting our filmmaking process through behind-the-scenes images that we're excited to share with you. To check out this new and exclusive content, head over to our official Facebook page. More content will be uploaded there as the production progresses. So far so good!

Production Begins August 8

After many many months of planning and hard work, we are happy to announce that THE LOTTERY OF LIFE will go before cameras starting next Monday, August 8! We are very excited to begin shooting this film, and we will be sure to post photos and content from the production on a regular basis as the shoot goes on. Our plan is to film a couple days a week for the rest of the summer and into September, with principal photography expected to be completed by September. Further casting of the film will be ongoing, but we are aiming to stay on schedule and have this film wrapped within the next two months.

Once again, thank you for all your support and we look forward to sharing this story with you all!

The End of Pre-Production is Near

Time for an update. Pre-production work on THE LOTTERY OF LIFE is still underway, but there is still a lot of work to be done. The script is being finalized and a shooting schedule is in the works, so we should be organized for the production stage very soon. In June we will be casting for the film and going out to secure locations for the shoot. Once we get that out of the way, we'll be ready to shoot. If everything goes according to plan, we should be able to start principal photography this summer. Fingers crossed.

Looking For Donations!

Hey everyone.

We are starting to move forward in pre-production right now. The script is currently undergoing rewrites and the filmmakers are now looking into securing locations for the shoot. We are hoping to get production off the ground in the coming months. However, we are starting to crunch the numbers, and it looks like making movies isn't cheap. Right now, we are looking to raise $5000 for equipment costs, production costs, and festival submission fees for when the film is finished. And we are looking to our supporters for help. We have set up a new page on IndieGoGo to accept donations via PayPal. Donations can range from $10 to $500, depending on how generous you are. However, any amount will bring us closer to reaching our goal. As such, we'd like to thank you in advance for showing your support, and we hope that there are some generous individuals out there who are willing to forward a little cash towards a good cause!

Sypnosis

David Cole is a pessimist. To him, everything has a downside. However, from a string of unfortunate events, his negative attitude is tested to the limit as he endures the worst week of his entire life. After losing the only elements of stability in his life, David begins to distance himself from others, including his best friend and roommate, Steve. Steve is an optimistic man who aspires to be an actor, but when David’s life takes a turn for the worst, he brings Steve down with him. Nevertheless, through all his hardships and misfortunes, David finds hope in the unlikeliest of places, allowing him to finally realize that maybe we aren’t as unlucky as we think.
