A chance to support the completion of June Gloom, a film about prisoner reentry
My name is Attila Adam. I’m a L.A. writer and director currently working on a new drama called June Gloom. The film is centered around a man’s release from prison, into a world that doesn’t want him. It’s an example of how difficult restarting your life can be when you walk into that “gloom” without a strong support system.
I’ve been reading your work on Sentencing Law and Policy online and felt compelled to reach out and share what I’m doing. I believe that June Gloom has the potential to get a real message across about the importance of reentry and readjustment. I’ve put together a special intro video to the project that includes a short trailer. I hope it can give you a better idea of the direction I’m trying to go in. You can view it here.
I’m doing my best with the resources I have to get this project finished and seen. I’ve put together a set of creative rewards that I’m offering supporters in exchange for any size contribution. If you like what you see, I was wondering if you’d consider mentioning my project on your blog or spreading the word to colleagues. Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this.
Notably, for the seemingly bargain price of only a $500 supporting pledge, one can get executive producer credit on this film. I wonder if readers and regular commentors like Bill Otis or federalism or Supremacy Claus or others will be interested in having their names on the big screen. Better yet, perhaps readers can pool pledges and we can have this blog’s readers listed as a executive producer. Seems a small price to pay for a good cause and for having one’s name on a movie, no?
The minimum pledge to support this project is a mere $10, and I will pledge to match (at least) the first $100 that come from SL&P readers for this project (in part because a pledge of $100 gets one goodies that include “a Special Thanks in the film’s credits and on IMDB.com [and a] limited edition 11×17 poster of the film [and a] DVD of the film, including original audition footage & a behind-the-scenes slide show”).
