Eastside Siblings Seek Support in Feature Film Fundraiser
Zachary and Sarah Sherman need to spread the word of their fundraising campaign -- can you help?
My name is Sarah Sherman and I recently launched an IndieGoGo fundraiser for a feature film I wrote and plan to co-direct (as well as co-star in!) with my brother Zachary. The film is called TWO DOGS and takes place in Echo Park (the two of us, originally from Portland, Oregon, are residents.) We recently shot a trailer for the film, which you can view at http://indiegogo.com/projects/two-dogs. TWO DOGS
"... tells the tale of Julie, a Los Angeles East-sider who can't quite get 'it' right. When she meets handsome theater actor Martin and claims to be a playwright -- more than a stretch from her cleaning-lady day job -- she must quickly hatch a plan. Recruiting her free-spirited but unreliable brother to act opposite Martin in the play she must now pen proves the perfect recipe for an always accidental path of destruction and desperation that only worsens with Julie's penchant for beer, gossip and anything sweet.
Set in a community of 'artists' who have 'opinions' about 'things', Two Dogs will have you wincing ... and laughing ... but mostly wincing as Julie's attempts to secure Martin's love continuously flop, bringing to surface the difficulties of 20's-dom in a city where everybody is a somebody and nobody is what they say."

We have raised over $5,000 for the project in the few days since our fundraiser launch but are continuously seeking new methods and mediums of connecting our campaign with the general public. If you or anyone you know have contacts in the newspaper/blog/entertainment coverage world, or are a writer of such yourself, please don't hesitate to share our campaign -- it is through the kindness and support of our friends and neighbors that we are dollar by dollar getting closer to having our film made.
Thank you!
