Being Rejected

About 2-years ago, I think I seriously found out what true rejection felt like.  I had read about how people felt about that sting of rejection either it be from a film review, person, publisher, editor and so forth.  Yet I actually experienced it. Hence the creation of this story idea.  I believe we all have a dark side to us if we get pushed over the limit. We have seen too many reality shows to depict that. I took several different personalities and pieced them together to create a Frankenstein character just ready to break free from its shell. In a day and age where there is re-boots and remakes, investing in something that has its own voice to tell.  Making a movie is about passion and there is no huge distribution company backing it but wonderful people offering the support to see any Independent movie getting made. 

The Story

Rejection follows Katherine Blackwell {{played by Melissa Jo Murphy}}, as a shy, reclusive writer who has hopes and dreams of being traditionally publishing her first great American Romantic novel. Katherine has met many forms of rejection and is going through an inner turmoil about writing the great story.  Her best Friend Jeanette {{Played by Nikki Farce}}  introduces her to her Indie Film maker friend that will be played by no other Cory J. Udler {{IDS, IDS2, and Mediatrix}} as himself.  Cory talks to her about finding her great story and creating it, if Katherine succeeds then he will be willing to film it.  In the process Katherine tries to find it, but some where inside of herself she snaps and starts to create a story that is not in her genre, but finds an insatiable blood lust that grows inside of her to remove all those that have rejected her in some form or another. 

The Impact

Simply put to realize the $2,000 goal of this movie and to produce it in the best form possible...it would be nice to reach our goal.  Granted the movie will get made, but it would be better if we had the funds to make sure that this becomes a well oiled killing machine.  

What We Need & What You Get

What we need is pretty simple.  Money that can be used for transportation for cast and crew, equipment, lodging, practical effects, music, locations, wardrobe, props and food to feed the cast and crew.  Upon receiving more than the set goal that would go to paying the actors. 

What you get is the fun part.  Getting the perks listed and to those that are getting access to the backstage scenes of the set where you can see the actors be candid. Our VIP investors will be able to get the chance to chat with the cast during the breaks.

What ever you contribute you will be getting the incentives on the right

You can also pass any of these wonderful incentives to a relative or friend as a lovely gift. 

Other Ways You Can Help

 I understand in this day and age the economy is a bit tough. For those that will be in the Wisconsin area can contribute with locating locations for filming.  Even spreading the word like a street team would also help.  Yes financial support would be wonderful, but finding people that would also help us as a crew or even an extra is also helping us get this movie created.

Please support Indie Film making 

Updates...

I know it has been a long time since I actually gave an update about Rejection.  I must have to say that I have to thank the hurt I went through back in 2010, because without it...I think I wouldn't have written such an interesting story.
I have told others to write from personal experiences and in this script/tale...the author is also told to write from personal experiences.  In truth is that we, as writers take our life and mix it into a tale.  Of course Katherine is a bit of a lot of friends that have experienced true rejection in both personal life and in the writing. I have seen throughout the last 2-years that we all have a little Katherine in us all.
I know I moved away from Wisconsin and those that I have learned so much about.  I even put my own projects on hold to mentor someone.  Which made Katherine come out on even more.  Yet, Katherine's downward spiral most of us can relate to. 
Those that can't simply have far to much judgement into thinking they are mighty and couldn't fall prey into becoming someone like Katherine.

Rejection: Cover art

The concept

Everyone has been rejected in one form or another.  But what happens to most people...when we do get rejected??  We suppress it, put it down way deep.  And it builds and it builds and sometimes we imagine doing things to people in our heads, but not in reality.  So the concept touches us all, but taking it from several different friends and myself to create Katherine Blackwell.
A shy, but reclusive writer who wants to write the next great American love story, but has no experience in it.  Katherine wants to go with a traditional publisher and even though her friends and family think she is good, they feel she should self-publish.  Which I have seen a few friends that want to be traditionally published by a large Publishing House and meeting rejection.
It is something that we all find as our worst nightmare.  Even as an Independent Film maker, you want some one like Fangoria to review your stuff, but what happens if they don't like it??  That too is a form of rejection. We can be rejected by a man or a woman...and that sort of rejection does maim inside and makes you feel less of a person.  Too much rejection can turn the most shy and simple person in to a depressed driven to create something or they might just give up.
The character of Katherine doesn't give up, instead she finds a new form of writing and in the process creating her own perfect story....
What happens if disappointment maims and rejection kills???

Strap in and get ready for the ride.....
