Financing / Crowdfunding : Seeking financing for first film. by Chris Nunnally

First, a synopsis of the film, entitled "Over the Knee": All quirky, girl-next-door Julie wants is to be spanked. Her home life is a mess, her younger brother is out of control, and no one seems to know she exists. On top of that, her stifling Women's Studies class has her convinced that her desire is borne of some freakish disorder that flies in the face of feminism. In a world that does not understand or accept difference, Julie's greatest and most mysterious desire becomes her darkest secret. But when that secret is inadvertently revealed, a new friend takes Julie on a journey into the heart of what she wants most, a journey of ultimate love and acceptance of self, a journey that becomes truly empowering. With a tongue-in-cheek sense of humor and a lot of heart, the film casts a positive light on a taboo subject that may be more normal than we realize. I have two actresses for the lead roles and a director waiting in the wings. As the writer/producer, it's up to me to secure financing. I'm shooting for $10k, but 8k is probably sufficient. I've tried crowdfunding a million times - it's a joke - and I can't get a loan so I'm seeking other fundraising options or interested investors to help make this a reality. With luck, we will be shooting this summer or fall.
