Updates!

3 months ago

If you're an investor, we have been sending out regular updates over the past several months and so if you have not received any it means we have the wrong email on file. A couple of emails have bounced back to us as undeliverable to 3 addresses, so please email me at andrew@newdawnfilm.com if you're one of them and we'll get the correct one on file. Thanks!

WE DID IT!

7 months ago

That was a wild ride and not only were we able to raise an amazing $354,783.80 on this campaign but we have 826 investors behind us which is HUGE! Thank you to each and every one of you for all the support, you are all an important part in the making of this film. And while the campaign is over, this is only the beginning in making An Angry Boy the movie, come to life!

I want to emphasize that every single investor will be receiving email updates as we continue to move forward and so you’ll always be in the loop with exactly what’s happening along the way. A couple of important things to note are mentioned below.

We will receive every investor’s email address (most of which we have already) and will be going through the entire investment list to see who invested what amounts. From there we will create a few different emails lists based on the specific perks earned in order to communicate the proper information with you. For example, any investor who has the opportunity to be an extra will be contacted so we can coordinate that together.
We had a big push of investors getting on board in the final weeks and we need to request our final disbursement from Start Engine. That then has to go through processing before we are able to receive everyone’s emails. This process can take a couple of weeks and so please be patient as we wait for all that to happen before we send out our first update.
Filming will be taking place in the New York City area, as well as upstate NY and in Western Massachusetts. We’re currently aiming for the early summer and it will be happening over the course of roughly 4 weeks.

So that’s it for now, looking forward to talking with and meeting some of you in person. Talk to you all very soon!

Thanks,

Andrew

FINAL Day to invest in An Angry Boy!

7 months ago

Our investment campaign ends February 18th at MIDNIGHT Pacific Standard Time! This is your last chance to get in on an amazing opportunity to join more than 740 people who've invested over $315,000 so far.

As an investor, you’ll not only be eligible for our tiered perks—which include your name in the credits, a script signed by the cast and crew, the chance to be a movie extra or even a producer—you’ll also be kept in the loop with updates as we move through production and post-production...all leading up to our movie premiere later this year!

As a reminder we are still on track to film this summer and in case you want to be an extra or come and visit the set - we will be shooting in the New York City area as well as upstate NY and Western Massachusetts. We hope you can join us and be a part of An Angry Boy before our campaign finally comes to a close!

Don’t miss the chance to be a movie extra! Just 2 DAYS left to invest!

7 months ago

Interested in being a movie extra? We’d love to get you on camera!

As one of our perks, we’re offering our investors of $1,500 and more a chance to join us on set as an extra for a day. You’ll get to experience life in front of the camera and see how movies get made. Plus, it's a chance to be a permanent part of An Angry Boy and see yourself every time you watch the film! (Not to mention bragging rights to your friends and family that you were in a movie.)

Whether you want to invest for the first time or are increasing your investment, this perk is open to all our investors that invest at the $1,500 tier or higher. If you’re adding to a previous investment you made, multiple investments DO count together towards leveling up within the perks.

Hurry! This opportunity will end soon. Our Start Engine campaign closes this Thursday at midnight! We hope you can join us.

Just One Week Left!

7 months ago

We’re almost at the end of our raise here on Start Engine and have an amazing amount of investors supporting us as we sprint to the finish line which is an awesome feeling! If you’re just following the campaign right now, there’s still time to get involved or you can add to your existing investment in order to tier up, so don’t miss out!

We’re super motivated to get the cameras rolling and I wanted to take this opportunity to give a HUGE shout out to my good friend and Assistant Director on An Angry Boy, Brad Rego.

I’ve talked about Brad in past posts but in case you’re new here, he really helped pave the way in showing us what a successful campaign looked like when he created his for the film Cryptid, which we shot back in October. Brad is super talented and great at working with people whether that be cast or crew and so having him as a resource has been invaluable. The fact that he’ll be working on An Angry Boy is great for everyone involved, both investors and the production team.

Let’s finish strong and thanks for all the support!

10 Days Left - Level Up!

7 months ago

There's just 10 days left in our Start Engine campaign and we've had more than 600 investors who have joined us on this incredible journey! I’ve had a few of them reach out who were interested in investing again and wanted to know if multiple investments will count all together towards leveling up within the perks and the answer is, YES!

We have a record of everyone who has invested along with the amount and so we’ll be able to see multiple investments from one source and will add them together to go towards our various perks. So if you want to be an extra in the film, receive a prop or get any of the awesome additional perks there is still time to get in on those. Thanks and we’ll talk soon!

8 months ago

With just about 2 weeks left before our Start Engine Campaign closes, Andrew was invited on to chat it up with the good guys over at the Creedence & Bishop shop for his second interview. We had a lot of fun talking about the Scary Mysteries channel, UFO's, Cryptids and of course An Angry Boy. Check it out and catch up on what we're up too!

Important Information For All Investors!

8 months ago

We’re so grateful to our more then 530 investors in helping us to already reach over $235,000! Below, I wanted to reach out to give you all some important information on what's to come next...

The campaign here on Start Engine has just 22 days left and after that we will be communicating with all our investors with direct email updates. If you have invested then we can see the amount you put in as well as your email information and so we'll be doing entire group wide emails as well as dedicated emails to specific investor groups based off of the perks.

Also, while we are excited to see what the final raise is in 22 days, at this point we will not be actively seeking any outside investors once the Start Engine campaign closes. That's great for all of us because it means my team can continue to move forward and stick to the plan as scheduled. If you are on the fence about getting involved then we encourage you to do so before the campaign closes.

We're currently organizing the film shoot on our end and in terms of next steps and communication, shortly after the campaign closes we will email everyone and begin the discussions with the different perks as they've been laid out. We also plan to give regular updates to everyone as they unfold, thanks so much and stay tuned!

Pre – Production Has Officially Started!

10 months ago

It’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

11 months ago

Hi 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

11 months ago

Recently, 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.

Huge Podcast Numbers Means More Fans!

about 1 year ago

Hi Everyone,

Just a quick update, I wanted to reach out to let you know about some great news regarding our fan base and some developments on that end. Six weeks ago we launched our newest podcast called Every Town and the feedback and statistics so far have been really positive. If you don’t know, Every Town is True Crime podcast hosted by myself, with the premise being that ‘Every Town Has A Dark Side’. We put out new episodes every Weds. and so if you’re interested in checking it out you can listen to it here, or anywhere that you listen to your podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/every-town/id1524730356

So far it has over 165 reviews and all but 3 of them are 5 stars. We’re moving up the ranks fast and over the past 30 days our downloads are up by 835% and are predicted to keep trending upwards. Ranking positions across all podcasts are constantly changing every day but we’ve made it all the way up to #73 in the U.S. for true crime podcasts on Apple podcasts (itunes). Last week after we launched the 6^th episode and got a bunch of downloads we made it up to #30 in rank on Toppodcast.com out of all True Crime Podcasts in the world. And currently if you go into itunes and search under True Crime and then New Shows, Apple has us listed on there which only the top 60 best sellers get to be featured on. We’re up there with major podcast producers like Wondery, iHeart Radio, CBS, NBC, HBO and the LA Times to name a few.

Also, our Scary Mysteries podcast is also trending upwards and in the last 30 days alone has over 207,240 downloads. Those numbers put us in the top 4% of all podcasts around the entire world! These areas are another outlet for us to advertise ‘An Angry Boy’ which is huge for us and our investors so I wanted to let you all know. We’re really excited to have you on board with use and we’re getting closer every day to that all important $100k in funds raised!

Thanks,

Andrew
