Mission Statement
The Story
In this thrilling sequel to "Sirona", Allen Cross and his band of mercenaries discover that their very DNA has been transformed by Sirona herself, endowing them with supernatural powers. As they grapple with their new abilities, a sinister threat looms: Valkyrie, a shadowy government force led by the enigmatic Dr. Truman, has unleashed a team of super-powered operatives engineered to capture Sirona and crush any resistance.
Caught in a fierce clash with these formidable foes, the mercenaries are pushed to their limits. With no choice but to vanish into the shadows, they must quickly master their newfound powers. The stakes are higher than ever; not only must they protect Sirona, but their very survival hangs in the balance as Valkyrie's relentless pursuit threatens to overwhelm them. Can they turn the tide and fight back against the looming threat, or will Valkyrie's onslaught prove too powerful to resist?
Haven't heard of "Sirona"? Here's the trailer to our first film that ties into this project:
On its debut, "Sirona" was distributed globally amassing over 1 million views across multiple platforms including: Amazon Prime, VUDU, Apple TV, Google Play, YouTube, Tubi and more! As of today Sirona holds an audience score of 92% on Rotten Tomatoes and 3.4 out of 5 stars on Amazon Prime!
"Sirona" was intended to be a trilogy. This installment was forged by the design of our story and the feedback that we have been given by you! Here’s are some examples provided by some of our audience members:
Inspired by your support, we're thrilled to dive deeper into this gripping universe!
The Experiment
Struggling with the mutating abilities that make her both powerful and dangerous, Sirona must prove her loyalty to her new allies. But as her powers grow, convincing them she’s on their side becomes a race against time.
The Leader
Blessed or cursed? Gifted with precognitive abilities, Allen’s heightened senses feed into a growing paranoia that negatively effects his leadership. To lead his team to safety, he’ll have to conquer his inner turmoil before he loses control.
The Soldier
Gifted with enhanced strength, Jason's anger risks making him as destructive as his enemies. Jason’s greatest battle may be learning to control his rage before he tears apart everything he’s fighting for.
The Sharpshooter
Gifted with enhanced eye sight, but afraid to let anyone in. Julie keeps her distance from others and pretends that nothing bothers her. Will she see what really matters in time, or will she continue to overlook what’s right in front of her?
The Wisecracker
Gifted with the ability to resist genetic mutation, Tuck must face the reality that life isn't a game. He realizes that he must mature if he is to protect those he loves and restore his life back to normal.
The Villain
Valkyrie’s cold and calculated head scientist, Dr. Truman is relentless in her pursuit of control over Sirona. Desperate to solve the “Sirona problem,” she’s willing to do anything to stop her before catastrophe ensues.
The Strike Team
Dr. Truman has upped the ante. Armed with invisibility, super strength, and telepathy, this elite strike team is the ultimate challenge for Allen and his group. Their lethal abilities will push the heroes to their limits, forcing them to face trials like never before.
Indie filmmaking taught us to do a lot with little, but to elevate "Sirona: Valkyrie’s Shadow", to the level you deserve, we need your help. Your support will:
- Secure fair wages for our passionate crew and cast.
- Enhance the action and deepen the narrative with improved visuals and effects.
- Continue the story in the breathtaking landscapes of Colorado, ensuring authenticity and continuity.
Funding Goals and Impact
We are excited to set an initial funding goal of $60,000 to get our sequel's production underway. However, to deliver the high-quality film you deserve in a timely manner, we have outlined several stretch goals. Here’s how each milestone will help us achieve our vision:
Initial Goal ($60,000): Reaching this goal will allow us to begin production with a small, dedicated team. While this budget covers essential filming activities, post-production work such as editing and scoring will need to be completed by our in-house team, potentially extending the timeline.
Stretch Goal #1 ($80,000): This additional funding will enable us to expand our crew, bringing in more skilled professionals to assist with key aspects of production. It will also allow for more dynamic location shoots and enhanced production quality, reducing the overall production time.
Stretch Goal #2 ($100,000): At this funding level, we can begin to include more specialized equipment, additional technical support and some additional post production help. This will greatly improve the visual and audio quality of the film, making the viewing experience even more compelling; along with helping the film get a faster turn around.
Stretch Goal #3 ($125,000): Hitting this milestone allows us to incorporate advanced visual effects and more comprehensive post-production editing. It also gives us the flexibility to add more scenes, enhancing the storytelling and depth of the film.
Stretch Goal #4 ($150,000): With this budget, we can fully develop the film’s artistic elements, including intricate set designs and professional-grade props, contributing to a more immersive experience. It also allows for broader distribution plans, reaching more viewers.
Stretch Goal #5 ($200,000): The ultimate goal! Achieving this level of funding will enable us to hire a full post-production crew. This includes professional editors, sound designers, and composers, ensuring the film is edited, scored, and rendered with a quick turnaround.
Your Impact:
Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us closer to making this sequel a reality. Your support helps us:
- Create Jobs and Provide Industry Experience: Your funding allows us to hire more talented professionals, providing valuable experience and supporting the local film industry.
- Deliver a Sequel That Surpasses Expectations: With your help, we aim to create a film that not only meets but exceeds your expectations, offering a high-quality cinematic experience.
- Host a Grand Premiere Event: A higher budget will enable us to organize an exclusive premiere event, celebrating the film’s release with our dedicated supporters like you.
