Producer Toby Gibson has launched a crowd-funding campaign to raise money for a low-budget horror film written by Everett DeRoche (Razorback, Patrick, Razorback, Long Weekend), entitled Lord of the Crows.
Since the official launch on April 21, the project has raised almost 10 percent of its $24,000 goal.
“In the face of a tough economic climate and with the growing success of low-budget horror projects like Insidious and Paranormal Activity, we are seeing a rise in the number of independent filmmakers adopting new and creative online fund raising techniques to bring their low budget projects to the big screen,” said Gibson.
The purpose of the crowd-funding campaign is to raise funds for a live action short/trailer directed by Nick Kacevski and starring Cariba Heine and Rob Flanagan. The short will then be used by Midnight Snack Productions to attract potential partners.
