Our New Short Film: Coulrophobia

Please check out our new short horror film, Coulrophobia.

It is Halloween and Sleepy Ridge's most infamous reporter, Marcus Micklewhite, struggles to overcome his fear of clowns in order to finish his latest article, The Creepy Clown Menace, before his midnight deadline. His writer's block is also in the way of him meeting with his girlfriend, Luanne, who is ready to break up with him because Mark keeps making excuses to get out of meeting her friends.

Of course, this being Sleepy Ridge, something strange is a foot and on top of his personal problems, Mark finds himself terrorized by an actual creepy clown. To survive this harrowing Halloween night, Mark must overcome his coulrophobia and confront the menacing clown.

How We Spend Our Days Off

First day off we've had from working on our film all month I Love You Because, so went to see someone else's:The Hobbit Battle of Five Armies.

We enjoyed it; what did you think of it?

Thank You!

One of the biggest frustrations involved with producing an independent film is money: specifically, a lack of money. Since we first discovered we would have the opportunity to adapt Tom Kline's play and produce it as a film, there was a certain item Jason and I knew we would need to ensure that the film could hold its own as a professionally produced film in a highly competitive market. This item usually costs from a few thousand dollars to $10,000 or more, so there was no way we would be able to afford it and would just have to do the best we could without it. Then in mid December, we found this item selling significantly cheaper than we had seen before. We're talking a few hundred dollars; and it looked just as good as the ones selling for $10,000. Now, however, we were faced with another dilemma: where would we get the money to pay for it. Jason and I still have props, set supplies and costumes to purchase for the film. But just when the standard low budget film producers' disappointment set in, two different friends gave us money for Christmas and told us to put it towards I Love You Because. Their combined gifts were just enough to cover the cost of this particular item.

So, we are sending out a big thank you to these friends, and our sincere gratitude. Your support has enriched the production value of I Love You Because, and it will be a better film for it.
