Stacie Ponder over at Final Girl needs our help...as well as a better watch.
"Alright, people, this is it. As you may well be aware because I won't shut up about it, Ludlow is finished. It's been slapped on a DVD and screened for some friends. In fact, I thought I'd reached a time when it would no longer rule my days and haunt my nights...and I'm sure you all thought you could just watch the f*cking thing and be done with it, right? That's nice, in theory, but...
"See, the final cut of the film turned out to be a whopping 63 minutes. 63 MINUTES, a result that was rather unexpected, to say the least. After all, the script was only 20 pages.
"Now, as you may notice, 63 minutes is quite close to the running time of a feature film, yes? And a wee too long a run time for a comfortable short, yes? Yes.
Obviously, this only means one thing: I need to write some more, shoot some more, and make Ludlow longer. I need to expand the elastic waistband on the comfortable short(s) and make this into a feature, which will be easier to get into the grubby mitts of audiences. Stronger, faster, better!
"Shannon Lark
(ze star) will be back here in Los Angeles in early August. Once more,
we're going to truck out into the Mojave Desert and, barring any typical Ludlow-related shenanigans, we're gonna finish this puppy.
"Here's where you come in, o dear reader. We need to raise funds to
complete our arduous task. Travel, lodging, FX, these all need to be covered, so we're asking for donations.
"Donate
$10 and your name gets in the credits of the film. The person who donates the most by Friday, August 7th will also receive a 16" x 20" painting by me, subject matter of the donor's choosing."
