The Story
Our film, coffee, follows Jon, an avid liar and gambling addict who stumbles across the identity of a wanted Serial Killer and immediately sees an opportunity in cashing in on the Bounty Reward the local police have placed on The Killer's head. When Jon realizes he'd have to admit he was out gambling when he witnessed said events, he continues to follow The Killer to his next kill, to turn him in properly, only by this point, the Bounty Reward has risen!
As Jon continues his pursuit of The Killer, we as an audience continue our pursuit of a gambling and adrenaline addict's inability to live without risk. How far will he allow this to continue? How many kills, both morally and realistically, can Jon allow as he holds out for a higher reward?
The team and I are very excited to shoot this idea and we've scouted out our locations in the visually unique, and noir feeling city of Portland, Maine. We just need the additional funding for peoples' travel, room & board, catering and equipment for both Cast & Crew. We'll be making this film regardless, it's only a matter of time, but with your help we can make it faster!

About This Team
This is an exciting twist on a Noir-Thriller that we plan on shooting in what I find to be a very visually unique city of Portland, Maine, along with an extremely talented crew of Independent Filmmakers whose work speaks for itself.
This crew is going to be a mix of talented folks that I’ve worked with many times before, and a few we’ve picked up along the way, most of which started their careers, myself included, in the equipment rooms of various studios throughout New York City. There’s nobody I trust more with the project and nobody I like working with as much.
Our film's purpose is to explore the psychological burden of Gambling and Adrenaline Addicts and their approach to sustainability, or lack there of, and my personal goal is to continue to set up scenario’s in which I can continue to work alongside the best and brightest people I know.
