What the Film Awards Is Missing This Weekend

PHOENIX - Feb. 24, 2016 - PRLog -- This weekend is one of the major film award ceremonies and what you won't find there is a film like this one. Cassandra Nicholson is the writer/creator of Dark Dignity and decided after being involved with others productions that it was time for her to create her own.  She included several other talented female filmmakers and actors from the community she knows so well and brought them together under the premise of being able to showcase their amazing talent.

You can learn more about the project and donate to their Indiegogo Campaign at this link https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/dark-dignity-a-short-film/x/630486#/  Their campaign is running until March 3, 2016.

From California, to New York, to Europe and Asia, the word has spread about this project. Check out what Women and Hollywood had to say about the project here: http://blogs.indiewire.com/womenandhollywood/watch-hello-academy-women-and-hollywoods-annual-oscar-video-20160224?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

The other significant note about this project, is that a woman is directing the project as well.  Rae Damon, director, is not stranger to film and she has worked in the industry for almost 10 years.

Cassandra Nicholson is the writer and is producing the project under her company King Indie LLC in association with Mind Steam Films, founded by Tony Severe.  Eva Louis, who is acting in the Marketing & Promotions capacity, is also an Executive Producer as well as one of the principal actors.

They have strived to make a stand for women, talent, and the film industry in general in taking action and not holding back or having excuses for what can't be done.  They are just doing and that is what any industry needs, is people to go out and make a difference by doing what they do.

Story Synopsis

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
