Invest in An Angry Boy
Go deep in the heart of terror with An Angry Boy, a psychological tale about loss of innocence and revenge. From an award-winning team, and reminiscent of Silence of the Lambs, True Detective, and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, this exciting new feature film will immerse moviegoers in a thrilling world.
Good triumphs over evil in this story surrounding a teenager who was abused by a ruthless predator when he was younger. His memory of the horrors was repressed, but when he suffers a head injury, those painful recollections come flooding back. As he struggles to piece together the haunting mystery of his past, he realizes what he must do… hunt down his abuser and exact revenge.
From the makers of the popular true-crime series Scary Mysteries, this movie is inspired by real-life stories. We plan to release An Angry Boy through Amazon Prime and marketed to the Scary Mysteries channel which receives hundreds of thousands of loyal visitors each day.
It’s an exciting time for streaming movies, with at-home in-demand entertainment reaching record numbers. We invite you to make a movie with us and share in whatever profits the film may have.

New Dawn Films, established in New York City in 2009, is a fast-growing production company with impressive sales and market traction. One of our projects is the youtube channel SCARY MYSTERIES, which has amassed over 600,000 subscribers as of June 2020. The dedicated fans absolutely love the gritty and very real content we create twice a week. This is the same demographic that will love a movie like AN ANGRY BOY, and will be excited to purchase the film upon release. This company is an affiliate to An Angry Boy Inc., as both are run by Andrew Fitzgerald, and will offer its platform and expertise to help bring An Angry Boy the film to life.
Our Continued Youtube Success Means More Fans!
Every single day on our SCARY MYSTERIES youtube channel we receive hundreds of thousands of views and hundreds of positive comments from our fans about how much they want more content from us! We’re flattered by this, and are pleased to fill that audience demand with this movie project.
Our channel is growing fast and by the time we release the film, around November of 2021, according to Social Blades future predictions, we'll have over 2 million subscribers. If just 10% of those people purchase the film for streaming over on Amazon Prime at $5 per buy, then we would generate $1,000,000 in sales – double our film’s budget of $500,000.

Looking ahead two years after our initial release, we estimate conservatively to have 5,500,000 subscribers. If just 7.5% of those people purchase the film, that's a total of $2,062,500 in sales. Additionally, we have millions of views per month from non-subscribers, and we will market to them, too, along with a broader audience outside the scary mystery fanbase.
The Innovative, Award-Winning Production Company Behind
'An Angry Boy'
We founded New Dawn Films eleven years ago in New York City. Since then, New Dawn Films has produced many high-end products, giving us the versatility and experience necessary to create a compelling film.
Founded by Andrew Fitzgerald, the writer, and director behind An Angry Boy, New Dawn Films, the sister company to An Angry Boy Inc. has the resources to create and promote An Angry Boy (the film). Over the years NDF has grown to 8 full-time employees and has produced two award-winning feature films as well as a variety of shorts and commercial productions. We also produce commercials and branded content for companies like Mercedez Benz, Johnson & Johnson, Revlon, Mitsubishi Motors, 5 Hour Energy, Unilever, and many more. We’ve worked on award-winning popular shows like, Say Yes To The Dress, Miami and LA Ink, Throwdown With Bobby Flay, Storm Chasers, and Chopped (the Food Network).
Skip Distribution Fees & Self Distribute On Amazon Prime
We will distribute this film on Amazon Prime. The metrics for choosing this platform are ideal:
1st We plan on the film capitalizing on the platform for years to come.
2nd Control of the film’s destiny. Rather than waiting for a distribution company to pick up the film and then hoping they market it properly, we can do it all ourselves — and make sure it’s done right.
3rd Traditional distribution companies charge 35-45% in fees. That’s money that we can turn into profits, not fees.
4th Amazon Prime is HUGE. As one of the largest sources for video streaming in the world and growing, that’s where the eyeballs are, so that’s where our movie should be.
5th Amazon only charges around 6 cents per each hour streamed. That means our investors will potentially see more profits than with old-fashioned distribution.
6th We will focus on this one platform rather than stretching ourselves too thin trying to get it everywhere. While we may expand to other platforms in the future, right now Amazon Prime is our single marketing target.

The Cost to Make 'An Angry Boy'
This is where the money will be spent
The minimum budget to film the movie is $100,000, and the highest budget is $500,000. This graph shows where the money will be spent.
Why such a wide budget range? If we raise $100k then we have $15,000 to spend on the entire cast. But if we raise $500k, we have $75,000 which means we'll be able to afford more well-known actors. That means more publicity, a higher profile for the film, and higher chances for greater profit.
WATCH THIS VIDEO below to learn how we plan to achieve our goals & spend the raised funds
The Evolution of Fear
At the end of the day, we believe in making an awesome movie that we can all be proud of. Audiences need new, honest and innovative ways to be scared and thrilled. Lately, many horror movies and run-of-the-mill thrillers have been very shallow. They are filler for movie studios so they can make a quick buck before their next big budget feature.
But audiences are smart and want more than a quick fix for their fear factor needs. They're seeking new styles, eye-catching cinema, provocation, and more than just shock value for shock value’s sake. They want a story. And so we will bring them An Angry Boy.
We believe our level of experience, passion for filmmaking and large fanbase sets us apart from other indie production companies. Doing things differently and on an elite level is what we have always done with our projects and it's exactly what we plan to do with this movie. We envision this film becoming very popular and gaining a following similar to the content we have created in the past.
Invest in An Angry Boy today, to ignite the next wave of Thriller and Suspense Films.
Directors quote “When you watch a movie, you need to root hard for the hero. That only comes when a film takes time to develop its characters and tells a story worth watching."

Q: Why should I invest in this and not something else?

Q: When are you planning on actually filming?
A: If we run this campaign for a year then we plan on actually filming around the spring of 2021 with a planned release around November of 2021. If we can raise the funds sooner then we will adjust and everything will be projected to happen earlier.

Sneak Peek! -Some Actual Footage
30 days agoA couple investors have asked for a little look at the actual footage we filmed during the shoot for Cryptid a couple months ago. I couldn’t get footage because it’s still being worked on, but was actually able to get my hands on a couple stills pulled from the source files to give you an idea of the quality and look of that movie. We actually used the same camera that we’ll be using on An Angry Boy so it will give you a nice sense of the quality. The camera is the Arri Alexa, which is the industry standard for any major motion picture and, in my opinion, is simply the best camera available.

Pre – Production Has Officially Started!
about 2 months agoIt’s December which means it’s time to kick the An Angry Boy pre production process into high gear. This is when we plan all the logistics, hire crew and the actors as we ramp up for the actual production – aka the fun part.
The first step of this process is finalizing the script, which I have been refining over the past couple months and my friend, Writer/Director Dan Schechter https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1633080/ is doing a pass on it to give some final notes. He’s super talented and taught creative writing at NYU. I worked with him just last year on his film After Class which starred Justin Long so looking forward to hearing his thoughts.
Overall the bulk of the script is remaining as is but one of the bigger changes is the setting for where our main character lives. Originally he’s from Maine and travels to Pennsylvania in an effort to hunt down Mark, but now he is going to live in the outskirts of Queens in New York and travels to Pennsylvania. Cinematically this will work better as our character has to travel to a much different world (city vs rural) then he is used to being in. It will add a nice visual contrast to the movie and help in the overall feeling that Owen, is not where he should be when he is in a rural place. Financially, this change is going to save us a lot of money as well since our cast and crew will be based out of New York City. It means we can save on travel and lodging as well as time and so all that can go directly back into other areas of the film to help make it that much better.
Beyond NYC the other location for our rural setting will either be up in Western Massachusetts or the Lake George are of New York. I spent an extensive amount of time in Western, MA just this past month while filming the movie Cryptid and made a lot of connections within the towns there. Lake George still needs to be looked into, but they are very film friendly up there and have a lot of backdrops we need. Both of these locations are accessible for our cast and crew as well.
And then we’ll be getting our Production Coordinator on board to help with all the logistical details. I’ll be getting actors to submit virtual auditions after that, and we’ll be well on our way to the actual filming. Thanks so much, and I’ll keep you in the loop with more details as they come!

Making A Movie During The Pandemic Was Interesting To Say The Least
3 months agoHi Everyone,
If you've been following our updates here on Start Engine and on the Angry Boy Facebook page then you probably know that I was just up in the western part of Massachusetts filming a movie called CRYPTID, directed by Brad Rego. It was an amazing project to work on and one of the best parts about it was that since we're so close to when we plan to get An Angry Boy into production, it really got the juices flowing for me. There were some great things that happened as well as challenges we faced, and all the knowledge from that shoot will be utilized into making An Angry Boy all that much better which is really exciting.
The other great thing that came out of it is that despite the ongoing pandemic, we know that we can go out there and are able to make a great film! The cast and crew get tested, you have a dedicated Covid specialist on set, you sanitize, do the work for the day and then go back to your motel and everyone really can come out the other end without any Covid!
(Location: Sweet Farm Road, Williamstown MA - One of the cooler shots from the film, this was a single shot of the main character, MAX, played by Nicholas Baroudi pulling up to a crime scene and having an interesting conversation with the SHERIFF, played by Chopper Bernet)
(Location: Bridge Street, Shelburne Falls, MA - Actor Kevin O'Rourke who plays DARREN in the movie talks to our main characters MAX and HARRIETT, played by Ellen Adair. In this scene he tells them about a scary incident that happened to him recently involving the creature. Kevin is an amazing actor who you probably recognize from Boardwalk Empire, The Irishman, Blue Bloods and a ton of other great projects. He was really fun to work and definitely brought something unique to the character.)
(Location - Woods in Williamstown, MA - We spent a lot of late nights in the woods and this is one of them. In this scene four characters are on the hunt for the creature. We had the rain machine going, hooked up to a fire hydrant curtesy of the Williamstown Fire Department. You have to make sure everything stays dry so the mic is covered in plastic, the camera covered with a panel, the map is laminated and all the actors are wearing wet suits under their outfits.

Theatre's may permanently be closing
3 months agoRecently, Cineworld, which is the parent company of Regal Cinemas confirmed it is temporarily closing all 536 Regal Theatres in the United States as well as it’s 127 Cineworld and Picturehouse theatre's in the UK. The reason? Because of the challenging theatrical landscape as well as key market closures in many states and countries due to the current global pandemic.
AMC, the largest theatre chain in the United States, is in serious trouble too. According to S&P Global, AMC Entertainment’s credit rating has been downgraded from a ‘B’ to a catastrophic ‘CCC-’, which means, “Default imminent, with little prospect of recovery." And even before the pandemic this chain was already on the brink of bankruptcy and so now it’s possible that all 600 theatre's around the country may end up closing.
Theatre's are in real trouble and there’s a long list of films that were slated for theatrical releases this year that have now been pushed back. To when exactly is still a question mark. There are speculations but all of those could change as we all have seen that a two week quarantine can easily turn into many months with no end in sight. Thus, running a theatre has become nearly impossible which forces consumers to head to their living rooms to stream the entertainment they want.
James Bond No Time To Die
Original Release Date: April 2020
New Release Date: April 2, 2021
Ghostbusters: After Life
Original Release Date: July 10, 2020
New Release Date: March 5, 2021
Candyman
Original Release Date: June 12, 2020
New Release Date: Unspecified Date, 2021
Dune
Original Release Date: December 18, 2020
New Release Date: Late 2021
On and on the list goes and while we love going to the theatre's as much as the next person, the reality is setting in that going to them and eating some popcorn may not be an option for a long time to come.
With more and more people having adjusted to working from home in recent months, people will also adapt to consuming their entertainment in the same way. It’s a shift that was happening anyway, and the current pandemic has just accelerated it. Luckily for us, technology has allowed us to transition (fairly smoothly), as compared to what we would have faced just a decade or more ago.
We can only speculate, but large Hollywood Studios will need to adapt to these changing times like everything else in order to survive. They’ll need to execute large scale VOD premieres much like a PPV event for Boxing or MMA. At it’s core, this is the exact concept that An Angry Boy has created and outlined in our marketing plan and we did it before the pandemic ever even set in. We will advertise to our Youtube fans, podcast fans and beyond and get our film purchased and downloaded so that people can be entertained in a home setting.
Do you find yourself looking around for good movies these days only to come up short? Us too. But that means there’s an opportunity to fill that gap, and An Angry Boy is primed to do just that.
