Hey everyone, we're happy to share some updates on

Hey everyone, we're happy to share some updates on the status of this film. In May, we completed phase one of principal photography and successfully captured a significant portion of the material.
•
Since then, we've continued seeking funding and backing for our second and final phase of filming. Fundraising is never easy and this year has proven itself uniquely challenging amidst a historic double strike ✊ and stubborn inflation.
•
We've also made great strides toward cutting an official teaser, which we're thrilled to be sharing in August.
•
We are so thankful to our donors for supporting us in this challenging economic environment. We greatly appreciate our vendors, especially those who have contributed their resources in kind or at reduced rates. There is no production without your generosity.
•
This project is so much bigger than any individual person or organization and we're so humbled by the coalition and collaboration responsible for its creation.
•
If this story touches you and you have the means to help us out, financially or otherwise, we would be deeply grateful. We are fiscally sponsored by @fromtheheartproductions a

Lastly, we want to thank our team of brilliant filmmakers and dedicated performers who have poured their talents into this project. Your passion for the craft is an inspiration and a blessing.
•
With love and admiration, from The Bad Guy team.
