Where Is Your Donation Going To?

Pie Chart.png

Your donation will go directly straight to the film, which is filming August 2025. The fantasy and action/adventure aspect of the film adds a greater expense to location, prop, wardrobe, set dec., stunts, horses, and insurance costs. We have hired a professional cast and crew and assembled a high caliber of people to the project and want to be able to pay everyone involved. Here is a breakdown:

Where Will This Be Filming?

We have secured a few locations for this film, but need your help renting these spaces. Our goal is to film on practical locations and sets. And when the story calls for it, for safety reasons, a /virtual production/studio set. A couple of  locations we have secured is Castle McCulloch in Jamestown, NC and Pronk Studios in Greenville, SC.

How Will This Film Be Used?

The ultimate goal is to produce a feature film of "Citadel of the King" that will be shown on the big screen in theaters around the world and eventually stream it on multiple platforms. Thus, this short film will be used as a pitch to major studios. God has been opening doors for us to pitch it to these major studios and we want to steward our resources wisely to produce the highest quality proof-of-concept to show them. 

What Is the Financial Goal?

The direct-to-studio campaign launches May 1st and will last until Fall 2025. This is Phase 1 in our overall fundraising campaign and for this particular phase, our goal is to reach $30,000 by the end of June 2025. We have a meter bar for you to view and keep track of how much has been raised so far.

What Is The Timeline?

We plan to film the proof-of-concept in late August 2025 with a premiere of July 2026. We'll take the proof-of-concept to major studios and pitch it to them for the feature film.
