The Story
What the heck are you doing?
We are super excited to be creating a feature film here in St. Petersburg, Florida! As you can see, I'm wearing a LOT of hats so I'd like to take them off and give them to qualified crew members. Currently, we have enough money to make this film with minimal stretch room. With the $5,000 we are raising, we can add more jobs to talented people locally as well as get some better food from local venues.
Who is in your film?
Meet our amazing cast! Our two leads are the beautiful couple, Bella and Victor, played by Yvelisse Cedrez and Sean Gloria.
Supporting cast members include Lexi Balestrieri, Chelsea Wolf, Carter Burch, David E. McMahon, Alex E. Miller, Jonathan McFadden, Joey Rodriguez, and Lisa Brave. Everyone's looks are different and the way we style each character tells their story within the story. Make sure you pay close attention ;)
Why are you making this movie?
Well when you make micro budget feature films you look at your resources. Last year, we made a short film about a wedding that turned into a fight club! We're talking stunts, blood, lovey dovey stuff, and a pretty great group to work with.

So since we already have this wedding stuff and the dress, then I figure why not make a feature with it! I came up with this fun stoner comedy idea where the bride is trying to connect to the dress and the ceremony by taking it for a spin. After the first spill, she feels as though all is lost and she ruined her own ceremony. She then realizes that instead of the spill being a disaster, it's more of a beautiful extension of how she truly is. So she continues to add on to the madness.
Why St. Petersburg, Florida?
Downtown St Pete has some of the most beautiful locations in the world. There are murals all over that show true art and it would be a shame to not film next to them. The best part of St Pete locations are the film friendly locations as well. You walk around and you see tons of artist friendly venues. If you haven't thought of it before, then definitely come take a visit. We are filming 100% in St. Petersburg as well as using food venues from local businesses. We are supporting our town while showing the beauty.

About This Team
Currently, we have a full cast of super talented performers. Our leads, Yvelisse Cedrez and Sean Michael Gloria, are seasoned performers with a wide range of improv skills. The addition of Lexi Balestrieri and Chelsea Wolf as bridesmaids will add a vulgar female comedic aspect to the film.
These girls put it all on the table. Giggity. David E McMahon makes an appearance as a driving force to Yvelisse's character's journey after the dress is quite disgusting already. We've recently cast Carter Burch, Alex E. Miller, Joey Rodriguez, Lisa Brave, and Jonathan McFadden as our final supporting cast.
For crew, it's currently myself and Sound Mixer, Ayla Mackinnon. In order to make this tight, ambitious schedule work, a Robert Rodriguez type style needs to be in order. With this crowdfunding, more crew members can join the party to make it even better such as a Cinematographer, Gaffer, Assistant Director, Production Designer, and PAs.
The strategy of making this 8 day shoot work is all in pre-production. By planning the shots in depth beforehand, walking through locations, working with actors, and anticipating the improv nature of the story, we will make our days and have an on time picture wrap.
