HOLLYWOOD at HOME – Help us bring these films to the next level!
To become a finalist the films must campaign from September 12 – October 13 to get the most ‘FOLLOWERS’ and must get 500 or more to have a chance to pitch their film to Mark & Jay Duplass.
The first ever #HOMETOWNHEROES campaign to bolster new film voices from the middle of America is here from Seed & Spark and the Duplass Brothers. We need your help to put KC on the film map!
Seed & Spark is a crowdfunding streaming platform known for supporting diversity and independent voices. They have partnered with Mark and Jay Duplass (Duplass Brothers Productions) who are indie success stories in their own right with at least 10 films debuting at Sundance Film Festival, a four picture deal with Netflix and deals with HBO and Amazon. They can be seen as the characters ‘the Midwives’ on The Mindy Project, Jay Duplass is familiar as Joshie on the award-winning show Transparent and the brothers co-created HBO’s Togetherness which stars Mark Duplass. They have independent creative spirits and create fresh, challenging work. The Duplass Brothers along with Seed & Spark are interested in fostering stories that are also fresh and challenging from filmmakers not living on either coast.
Here is the deal – The Duplass Brothers will give up to $25,000 to up to 5 projects, plus they will become Executive Producers to the film(s), adding their experience and clout to further the project(s).
