(prior to their Indie GoGo funding campaign success)
Reloaded Films has closed its successful month-long campaign to fund ICARUS DOWN, after Sci-Fi fans-turned-investors rallied behind the live-action short film and shoved the production company well over the $15,000 mark– its goal on Indiegogo, the leading international crowdfunding platform.
An official release date has not been set, but ICARUS DOWN – a compelling story about survival and love set in space – is slated to begin the film festival circuit later this year, following completion of post production.
“The Indiegogo community is vastly supportive of independent filmmaking, and a lot of people are aware of how difficult it is to get an indie project off the ground. That’s why I’m touched and excited that so many people have stepped up and took us over our goal,” said Paul Nicoletos, director and writer of the short film. Tedi Nicoletos, producer and star of the film exclaims “We are thrilled with the success of ICARUS DOWN on Indiegogo, it is truly a compliment when so many different people support and trust the project, and we aim to make them very happy with that choice!”
Supporters were encouraged to visit Reloaded Films’ campaign page and pledge to the film at http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/icarus-down-scifi-indie…. A creative video was launched in the theme of the story, with the director claiming that the Icarus vessel had been captured by rebels, and only $15,000 could guarantee their survival. The video can still be viewed on the page. Potential investors were able to choose from varying levels of support and perks that range from $10 to $450. Reloaded Films’ will now use the funds to finish post production including: visual and sound effects, sound mixing, color correction and composition of the original score by Enis Rotthoff.
ICARUS DOWN is set in the distant future and centers on the crew of Defense Space Craft ICARUS. Before completing its mission to transport Draynar (Christian Nikolas Lemberg) and his mysterious case to a space station in the dangerous Epsilon 13 galaxy, the military vessel is shot down and crash lands onto an unknown planet. With Icarus’ destroyed, Captain Althenia Torla (Tedi Nicoletos) must not only deal with the death of her husband, Lieutenant Orrin (Michael Billington), but also face the danger that Draynar poses.
