Howdy! If you have yet to watch my Hatchfund video, take a moment:

Done? Great.
Reason #1: You'd be a part of an incredible film. I believe this could be the next horror franchise. If that sounds too grandiose, consider this: the biggest horror films of the last decade, such as Blair Witch Project, Paranormal Activity, had budgets of less than $25K, had no recognizable names, and were shot with non-professional productions.
What makes my film unique is its scope and simplicity. I say its scope because it tackles large issues such as isolation, alcoholism, infidelity, and religion. I also say simplicity because there are just two main characters, few locations, no special effects, and just simple shots.
Reason #2: Your gift is 100% tax-deductible! If you are looking for an end of the year tax write off - this is it.
Reason #3: The Central Park Dark Raffle! When the folks at Hatchfund recommended that I hold a raffle, I couldn't even recall what that was. So, let me explain: Everyone that makes a contribution from today until next Tuesday of ANY AMOUNT will be entered into the Raffle to win the PERKS of the $1000 contribution. Depending on how many people contribute - the chance of winning may be high! The $1,000 Perk includes: an original painting by the director (which will be featured in the film, subject to final edit), an official Central Park Dark mug, a signed copy of the completed film on DVD, an opportunity to be an EXTRA in the film, a 16" x 9" still from the film and an official Central Park Dark tee-shirt, a "MADE POSSIBLE BY" in the credits, a total of 3 tickets to our NY premiere screening and exclusive after party (we can not provide travel or accommodations unfortunately.)
4th Reason: Your donation could make a really cool and unique holiday gift. Check out the perks! You could give the gift of being an extra in the film. You could give the gift of an original painting...
5th Reason: I want to mention that I WILL be able to keep all the money that I raise. So, if that's what's holding you back from giving, please stop your worrying and donate;-)
Finally, I'm looking for individuals who want to be a part of this film in a bigger way: as a producer, as a partner. And get that PRODUCER credit on imdb. This is what I'd call a Holiday Miracle. To be a part of this:http://www.hatchfund.org/project/central_park_dark
