    "Psychesthenia" - Short Horror Film Needs Support. Check it out!!



    Please visit my Kickstarter page and/or my youtube video to check out my latest pitch for a short horror film. Any support is incredibly appreciated!!

    Kickstarter:
    http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...ror-short-film

    Youtube:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giUGT63j4mc

    SYNOPSIS:
    In a nearly voyeuristic nature, the audience descends into the lives of three young adults preparing to go their separate ways after years of friendship. No sooner than the characters are introduced, they are thrust into a world where the nature of their experience is not what it seems. As psychosis sets in, the conditions of both their existence and relationships are turned upon its head. When perception is reality, who can distinguish what is real from destructive fabrications of the mind?

    Why is that? This forum is to get the word out about indie horror films; that's all I'm trying to do. I really hope you guys check it out. This has been such a labor of love, it is ridiculous. I've spent more time with this project than some parents spend with their children. It is my flesh and blood. Die-hard fans of the genre can relate. If this gets me banned, then I have no regrets. I don't want to be interpreted as argumentative, I'm just passionate about this film! Thank you all!

    Should have taken this up with FrighT before you posted to avoid any friction. There are members that absolutely hate Spam on these boards and will give ou infractions for it. I have watched your little presentation, and I do have a question how long is this horror short going to be? A few other things that bother me. One is the fact we are on the web, and there are a ton of people out there that are just dying to scam thier way into some easy money. Another thing is I am seeing nothing but two guys asking for donations to a project that possibly hasn't even started yet ( besides paper ) . If I were to be interested in investing/ donating money to a project I'd like to see several forms of evidence that this project would actually happen instead of feeling like I would have gotten the same result flushing it down the toilet. The kind of talent you actually have working on this project; sure you're just starting out and on a very small budget, but a little taste of the acting talent you do have would be nice. What happens to the donations collected if you don't reach your goal ? I don't want to give off the negative vibe , but it's a possibility that the goal won't be reached. Especially when there's only 8 days left for this project to happen. Sure don't want to donate to something that never reaches completion. There now that I've aired my concerns I will give you my best wishes, and hope this project is the start of something big for all of you.

    Like, so many people out there were trying to track this down. And it just...got delivered on a tweet. What the hell.

    I registered to the message board out of fear of not reaching the goal. I hate asking the tight-knit group of horror filmmakers for cash as an introduction, but you guys are also my core audience that I'm trying to please. Truth be told, I've stalked this site for years to get my horror news updates. This is just the first time I've posted something.

    I understand and actually appreciate the skepticism; it would be unwise to set yourself up for being ripped off. But if you dig a little deeper, you will see I have offered a decent amount of info. Yes, all the paperwork (script, boards, and scheduling) is done, but I've also posted makeup tests, examples of our original score, test shots, previous footage from our last crew, and several stills. In addition, Kickstarter has a strict policy on not completing funded projects. I could be sued for not delivering what I've promised. Beyond that, the amount I'm asking for not only pales in comparison to amounts needed by standard projects, but it also doesn't even come close to the amount I've put up from my own wallet, out of my paychecks.

    Please believe me when I say that, if I could comfortably fund my project without asking for a handout, I would. But Kickstarter has helped me two-fold: with the funds and with much-needed exposure. I know you all understand how hard that can be, especially as one man.

    So please understand that it was never my intention to insult the integrity or nature of your forum. I only came seeking help from like-minded individuals. At the end of the day, you have absolutely no gurantee that I'm not a drug-smuggling amputee from el Salvador. All you can go by is my word and whether or not you like the quality of my work that I've provided. There will be much more to come to the Kickstarter (and internet in general) but until then, this is all I can offer.

    I hope you all understand. Regardless if you believe or aren't able to contribute, please keep fighting the good, bloody fight for independent horror.

    Ps: To answer a previous question, the project will be 30-40 minutes in length.

    I can't help but feel disappointed about how far off track this thread has gone from my original intent. To be clear, my post was not spam, nor was it a devious ploy to encourage people to dump their funds into an off-shore banking account. I did not send mass emails or posts. I am not a faceless program(mer) whose links redirect you to a virus or my own personal website to take down your credit card information. I thought this would be clear just by me having responded to previously aired concerns. If I had known that excitedly posting something for my incredibly small-scale production was such a faux pas, I would have found a better way to approach it. As it stands, I have already talked to FrighT about it, and he was considerably more laid back about this.

    That junk aside, my real point is that my links took you to Youtube and Kickstarter. Regardless of whether or not you choose to donate, a huge reason to post on this forum was to get feedback from the horror community about the aesthetics of what we have done so far. What do you like? What do you hate? Do you have any tips/tricks that might be useful? I hate that it seems that several of you don't truly understand that my intention is to make a movie; to take something that I've made from concept to a physical end product on my own terms, the best way I can. I will continue to fight to make this film until I am physically unable to do so. If you don't wish to support it, I completely understand, but there's no reason to try to tear me down.

    If you like my synopsis, check out the videos. If you like them, fantastic! If not, the only thing that has been wasted is a little bit of your time. If we were really concerned with that, we wouldn't be on the internet, now would we?
    Let's move on from this cloud of negativity. While some of you may not agree with my methods, my intentions are good. I hope some of you enjoy what I have to offer.

    -Tristan G.

    Too bad we have a rule here. Before you start spamming you need to make yourself known to others in the community.

    In the future as others have said providing a few more samples even though it is hard to do on little funding may help. Also trying to introduce yourself on boards so people get to know you before you start fund raising may make you journey a bit smoother. I know with the time constraint this is also difficult. With that said overall the film sounds nice. The synopsis sounds like something I would at least give a chance. I like the idea of you guys shooting on analog and staying away from digital. That and it being independent were actually strong selling points for me. I really hope you guys get where you want to go with this project. Best of luck.

    Funding was successful and we just wrapped principle photography! A huge thanks to anyone and everyone who took the time to look at our page or read this thread. Pictures and clips will be coming soon. Can't wait to hear what the horror community thinks!

    Congratulations! Always nice to hear that someone can achieve his / her goals. You had started your fund raising with not all that much time given. I'm impressed. I'd love to see the final product when it's done

    Good on you for getting the funding, can't wait to see the stills.

    I totally agree with Primetime in that if guys like you came on and did a general introduction about 'yourselfs' and what you like/dislike etc before bringing up your project everything would run way better for you.

    Again, good luck with your project
