Campaign Story
STRETCH GOAL - $6000
(written & directed by József Gallai)
A young film student is about to make a documentary about an elderly man who has been hiding from the world for many years. But as secrets from his past come to light, their strange relationship takes a fateful turn.
Hello there! My name is József Gallai, independent filmmaker, writer and director of horror and mystery films such as The Poltergeist Diaries, I Hear the Trees Whispering, Project Skyquake and Aftermath, to name some of them.
Over the past three years I have had the pleasure of working with Academy Award Golden Globe and Emmy nominated actors and working on exciting projects, and this picture can be the next, perhaps even more special step in that direction.
We have partial funding at the moment, but we need this campaign and your involvement to make this story a real success.
