Moviechat legend Steve Allaby produced this.


Where is his Oscar?

reply

That’s really sad actually, this is one of the worst “movies” ever made

reply

How dare you!? Mr Allaby is a legend and this film is testament to his taste in cinema.

reply

I'm one of several associate producers. I didn't have control or influence on the film. I just gave the director $200. I'm happy to help independent filmmakers (regardless of the quality of the final film).

reply

Do you get to see any profits or was this like a Kickstarter thing?

reply

I wonder what the total cost to make this film was.

reply

I haven't seen it to make a guess.

reply

It was crowdfunding, similar to kickstarter, so none of the people who contributed got any profits.

reply

Do you at least get a free copy?

reply

In this case, no. There are usually different levels and different rewards. With some films, you can get a physical copy or digital copy. Other times, depending on how much you contribute, there are options to have your picture in the film, meet a cast member, get a shirt or photo or some other merchandise. In this case, it was just the associate producer credit as the reward.

reply

Well at least you can put it on your resume.

reply

Did you get a Amityville Karen t-shirt or mug?

reply

No, that would have been cool though.

reply

Not sad at all. Allaby is a top shelf user here who has credits of all kinds of movies.

reply

Not surprising, considering the topic...

reply

You think Allaby is a Karen?

reply

His birthname is Karen Allaby.

reply

It's a horror comedy and the director approached me on Facebook.

reply

I'm going to make a movie in my basement, could you send me $200?

reply

If you were seriously making a film and posted the details on a legitimate crowdfunding web site and were offering something in exchange, I would consider it. I'm being completely sincere here. If you ever do make a film, I might be willing to help back it.

reply

Are you saying MovieChat is not legitimate???

reply

I don't consider Moviechat a crowdfunding website. This is probably the best crowdfunding website:

https://www.indiegogo.com/

reply

Oh come on, it's going to have an all-Black cast!

reply

What is it going to be about?

reply

It's gonna be called Stratego's Basement and will be about the stuff that, you know, happens in my basement. Kind of like Saw, but sexy.

reply

A sexy version of Saw could be quite popular. Maybe you should make that film for real! I bet a lot of guys would help back the film.

reply

Okay, everyone who sends me money gets a part in the sequel!
