Coatwolf Productions, the production team that created the 2011 Sundance hit "Bellflower," announced today the launch of a new crowdfunding campaign for their next film, the excellently titled "Chuck Hank and The San Diego Twins."
The full-length feature, described as "a surrealist action/drama influenced heavily by '80s action films and side-scrolling fighting games," follows a San Diego turf war between two rival gangs. Director Jonathan Keevil says of the film "we want to create a visually rich world that honors, but doesn't exploit, a time when a street fight necessitated brass knuckles, chains, cut-off jean jackets, and HUGE Mohawks."
The campaign, powered by popular crowdfunding hub Indigogo, offers a variety of perks for those who wish to support the production, ranging from personal thank-yous and Blu-rays of the finished film to premiere tickets and an opportunity to shadow the filmmakers through the entire production.

Crowdfunding has become ridiculous now. I'm now seeing established guys asking for money to do "proof of concept" films when I know for a fact they're already rich from their past projects and living in big houses. They're making a mockery of this whole crowdfunding thing.

Sounds like this is just a purely real indie film.

Starring Olivia Taylor Dudley? As in, the coolest, sexiest girl around (and also Glodell's gal)? I'm in!

You mean I have the honor of giving away my money to see a more pretentious version of "The FP"? Awesome!
