Follow on Google News | Dark Dignity Project Ready to Launch in 2016Our mission is to create compelling films with strong, female characters, showcasing Southwest talent, in front of and behind the camera, to a global audience.
By: King Indie LLC What: Dark Dignity Film is a short film written by Cassandra Nicholson and will be produced by her company King Indie LLC. The film is the story of the women of a nomadic tribe, years after the fall of civilization, as they search for a new home. Five years after The Infected plagued North America and beyond, the world is a dark and lonely place. With no currency, government, or civilization to speak of, the members of Camp D are constantly on the move. Like other camps who assembled just a few years ago, when the last vestiges of order crumbled, they're a diverse mix of former suburbanites - teachers, doctors, police officers. Thrust into the badlands of rural landscapes and desert vistas, they must always be prepared to fight. The dangers hiding behind every shadow may be thieves or gangs... or perhaps the remains of a human now forever changed. In support of the project, we have established a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo. The campaign is currently running and will conclude the week leading up to International Women’s Day. “We’re so fortunate to have such a passionate, skilled team joining us for this project,” Nicholson said. “Our shared network within the independent filmmaking and media space is the perfect culmination for continued success. We’re excited to begin principal photography in February.” Additional events will be scheduled and announced related to the project and campaign to share and celebrate the progress and milestones reached. The team would like to create awareness in the greater community to help others get involved with this project or other similar causes. Why: Our mission states the significance of our project direction in that we are providing talented individuals, and women especially, the opportunity to use and demonstrate their skills and abilities in quality work. Additionally, in support of and in recognition of International Women’s Day, celebrated on March 8 annually, we are happy to have this be one of the projects that will be completed in 2016 to showcase talented women filmmakers from the Southwest. When: Starting January 3, 2016 – Concluding on March 3, 2016 (main part of campaign). Post-production is scheduled to be completed by Summer 2016.
