Filmmaker Paula Killebrew Launches Crowdfunding Campaign for Assassin Film "The Most Unlikely"

LOS ANGELES - Oct. 19, 2015 - PRLog -- This past week, an unlikely band of heroines announced their new mission – to redefine what it means to be a working actress of color in Hollywood. According to PaulaKillebrew (https://twitter.com/Killmaso), the writer and creator of the new project The Most Unlikely (http://www.themostunlikely.com/),

“One day on the way to an audition I wondered why I couldn't be seen as more than the lady next door, the meter maid, etc.? I'm so much more, but the powers that be have decided that I'm not!"

While great strides have been made in creating multidimensional, diverse characters of color, such as Kerry Washington’s Olivia Pope or Viola Davis’ Annalise Keating, the average African American actress is relegated to subservient roles. Couple that with the lack of opportunity for older actresses and you can easily see why Killebrew and her castmates are so passionate about this project.

The Most Unlikely chronicles the story of Connie, a retired assassin who, at the request of the President of the United States, comes out of retirement to perform one last assignment. She reluctantly pulls together a quartet of highly-skilled assassins to complete the mission. And, like any good dramedy, calamity ensues. The quartet is completed by Nicole J. Butler (https://twitter.com/NicoleJButler) who plays Nia, Kimleigh Smith (https://twitter.com/TotallyKimleigh) who plays Karen and Michelle N. Carter (https://twitter.com/MCarter43) who plays Monica, all regular working actresses whose work can be seen on an array of projects, from national commercials to network dramas and sitcoms.

The team is raising funds for The Most Unlikely via a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo (https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-most-unlikely/x/12318497%23/).They have set out to raise $25,000, which will go towards crew, equipment, supplies and post-production activities such as editing, marketing and festival distribution. Their campaign launched Wednesday, October 5 and runs through November 20th.
