Well, I have now submitted Stricken to 5 horror festivals and one short festival in Malibu. I have also submitted to Sundance in the US Short Category. Fun times! They are about to show some of Stricken on the news here in Fresno! 
Woohoo Things are exciting.

Cool stuff Matt! Please keep us informed on how the investment stuff goes. 50K is definitely realistic. We're about to shoot our first serious feature for a budget of 50K as well. I think a Stricken feature could be great. Would love to read the script when it's done.

Thanks! It looks like I have a Producer Jennifer Tadlock, attatched to Stricken with me. She has a contact who can get the funding and is also a distributor. We will see how this goes!

I am sending them the rough script today and we will see what they think of it. hopefully they will like it and attach. after that the funding will be a hop skip and a jump away as they are waiting on name attachment. So far so good!
Next comes storyboarding, location securing, and budget breakdown, then we send the package of all of that to the investors.

David Fine fought Will smith in the Pursuit of hapiness, Stole Keanu Reeves jacket in Sweet November, and was in Rent as well. He has a great look for our detective.

Jake Newton was a co-star in Berkley with Henry Winkler and is my friend. I am offering him the role of James in our Script.
