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: Can I read the Script? Yes, you certainly can and we encourage you to check it out here by clicking this link.
Q: What happens if the minimum amount to make the movies isn’t raised here on StartEngine? If we don't raise $100,000, which is the minimum budget, then we will seek private investors.
Q: Why should I invest in this and not something else?
Beyond the passion we have for making this a great film, we have an actual plan in place for distribution which shows some examples of how our investors can make money from this film. We've done our homework on this project and if you missed this video above from the campaign then we encourage you to check it out because it will answer this question in detail.
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.

Updates
WE DID IT!
about 2 months agoThat 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

There's still a few hours left to get involved and we appreciate all of you who have emailed, commented, followed us and invested. Because of you we are going to be able to make this movie a reality, and without you it simply does not happen. Together we are blazing a path toward something very exciting!

FINAL Day to invest in An Angry Boy!
about 2 months agoOur 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!
about 2 months agoInterested 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!
2 months agoWe’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!
2 months agoThere'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!

Important Information For All Investors!
3 months agoWe’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!
Last 29 days! Get involved before time runs out
3 months agoHello investors and those following An Angry Boy on Start Engine! We’re entering the final 29 days of our campaign. We’re excited to see the success we’ve had here and continue to see each day. And we can’t wait to get the cameras rolling!
Our final campaign push will end on February 19, so there are just 29 days left to invest. If you're still on the fence about investing, or thinking about increasing your investment, here are three good reasons to be a part of An Angry Boy:
