The Story
Dan Ravenport is a washed up journalist who just was fired from his job at the Tribune Times. To make matters worse; bills are piling up and his wife is noticing his newfound affection towards alcoholism.
To get away from the pressure of it all; Dan decides to leave in the middle of the night and take a familiar drive. It was this night he became a national security interest and discovered an alien being captured by the US Army.
Welcome to the Article 92 campaign, a feature film in this cat-and mouse sci-fi thriller. I've always appreciated a good cat-and mouse film.
Growing up with such films as "The Bourne Identify", "The Game", and on the sci-fi side, "Alien" I have appreciated the stylist themes of these movies. Our film will showcase those iconic moments in film like when Sigourney weaver encounters the alien in the film, "Alien." We will be creating our own alien and using strong visuals to enhance the viewing experience.
To give an idea we have outlined a visual mood-board on what the viewer is likely to experience.
Day 1 of production started in Massachusetts for the General Mansion scenes. We have shared some BTS and production stills from the filming on this day.
Filming with actor, Mark Wither as US General Bronson shown below with Director, DP; Joe McGee.
This film concept title, "Article 92," is based upon the Unified Military Code of Justice. Within this code or book contains Articles. One specific Article states, "Failure to Obey an Order or Regulation," which is Article 92.
In our film a highly ranked US General demands that SGT MILLER in the US Army to execute Dan Ravenport. It was in this moment that the SGT questioned orders. What is the difference between lawful and un-lawful orders? If the SGT disobeys an order; can he become court martialed under Article 92?
(Actual General Picture from movie, Article 92 with Mark Wither as US GENERAL BRONSON, filmed 9/10/23)
Perhaps or perhaps not since the order is NOT LAWFUL. It was in that moment that SGT Miller realizes it's not moral and lawful so he decides to break out Mr. Ravenport. This movie quickly becomes a cat-and-mouse thriller.
The tone of our film creating was inspired by movies listed below. We anticipate a high level of tension; some plot twists and some action and fighting to elevate our film into the sci-fi/drama/ thriller genre's.
- Crimson Tide
- Enemy of the State
- Men in Black
- X-Files
Pre-production has ended in August 2023. We are now in a filming status and will embark on this journey from Sept-December 2023 we are filming at many locations mostly in CT, MA, and RI on the East Coast and have some special stops along the way.
We will be filming in October at NEAM, Windsor Locks, CT. Connecticut Aeronautical Historical Association, the parent organization of the New England Air Museum. The NEAM: 60 Years, 60 Stories project celebrates this important milestone by chronicling the museum's history through the stories of current and former museum volunteers and employees as well as institutional records. On October 21, we will be in Windsor Locks among many million dollar aircraft as our back-drop for some of our military dialogue scenes.
One of our larger scenes is in Woodbury, CT on Oct 14 (Closed set) featuring our alien has our focal point along with many military trucks coming into Woodbury for our 8pm shoot.
Article 92 is currently in filming production status. Our first principle shooting is set for September 10th, 2023 in MA.
*Seed & Spark requires that we raise at least 80% of our goal for the project to be funded. We must reach this goal in 30 days
or we won't receive any funding*
We have an initial investment of $8,000 and are seeking to raise an additional $6,500 that will cover the remaining costs of the narrative portion of principle photography (e.g. locations, food, additional props, additional rental equipment) and a stretch goal of $12,000 to complete post-production (e.g. editing, sound mixing, color correction) as well as costs associated with festival submissions and film distribution.
With our campaign now in production; it's most imperative we spread awareness about our campaign and get word out today.
In the Indie Film Circuit; raising funds and awareness is one of the most difficult items to accomplish. In order to execute the vision we need a team of backer's to assist so we can meet our goals. In the meantime; we would like to highlight some of our accomplishments we have achieved already.
Accomplishment Highlights:
- Filming at NEAM, Windor Locks with million dollar planes as back drop.
- Flipping a Car on Oct 22 in Bristol, CT
- Award Winning Alien being developed now by Rob Cobasky
- The most talked about scene; the alien reveal on Oct 14th in Woodbury, CT with army trucks and police blocking the roads.
- We have raised $8,000 Dollars
