Run Like Hell and Hard Sun Team to Launch Crowdfunding Campaign

LOS 
ANGELES,
 CA
 (October 
21, 
2013)
 ‐ 
Independent 
production
 shingle,
 Two
 Guys
 and
 a
 Film,
 announced
 their
 second
 slate
 of
 feature
 films
 today.
 The
 films,
 totaling
 five,
 will
 all
 be
 horror/sci‐fi
 genre
 films
 and
 will
 kick
 off
 production
 in
 early
 2014.
 Each 
film
 will
 star
 recognizable
 name 
talent
 in 
the
 starring
 roles.


Out 
of 
the 
entire 
slate 
of 
films, 
four 
of 
the 
five 
will 
be 
in 
the
 horror 
genre. 
The 
stories
 will 
range 
in 
plot across 
the 
full 
genre 
itself.  

Zombie 
actioner, 
‘Extinction’ 
is 
about 
a
 group
 of
 military
 elite
 who
 travel
 deep
 behind
 enemy
 lines
 to
 investigate
 a
 viral
 outbreak.

 ‘Decapitator’
 will
 be
 a
 creature 
feature 
about 
a group 
of 
college 
students
 who 
become 
hunted 
by 
an 
ancient 
Peruvian 
blood‐god.





The
 found‐footage
 film,
 ‘Beach
 Day
 Massacre’
 follows
 a
 group
 of
 marine
 biology
 students
 as 
they
document
 a 
series
 of 
fatal
 shark
 attacks.

‘Villisca’
will
 be 
a 
true‐life
 paranormal 
haunter 
in 
the 
vain
 of 
‘The
Conjuring’,
 about 
a 
family 
whose 
new 
home
 is 
terrorized 
by
 the
 ghosts 
of
 the
 children
 who 
were murdered
 there.




Rounding
 out
 the
 slate
 is
 sci‐fi
 thriller,
 ‘68
 Minutes’
 about
 a
 former
 scientist
 who
 breaks
 out
 of
 a
 mental
 institute
 in
 order
 to
 stop
 a
 device
 that
 could
 potentially
 create
 a
 universal 
time 
crisis.



As
 far
 as
 why
 the
 company
 is
 focusing
 on
 a
 slate
 of
 films
 instead
 of
 a
 single
 production,
 co‐owner
James
 Thomas
 states, 
“We’ve 
proven 
on 
the 
last 
two 
films
 that
 a
 film
 slate
 model
 can
 work.
 
 Now
 it’s
 time
 to
 take
 it
 up
 a
 notch.
 
 We’ve
 always
 thought 
big 
and 
bold.

 This 
is
 just 
the 
natural 
progression 
for 
us 
as 
filmmakers.”


For
 these 
films, 
the 
company 
is 
turning 
to 
crowd funding 
in 
order 
to 
raise 
the 
initial
 development
 monies.
 
That
 money
 will
 go
 toward
 hiring
 a
 well‐established
 Line‐ Producer
 and
 Casting
 Director,
 forming
 multiple
 Limited
 Liability
 Companies
 for
 investment
 purposes,
 paying
 various
 legal
 fees,
 as
 well
 as
 traveling
 to
 meet
 with
 potential 
investors.




The 
main
 approach 
for 
the 
campaign 
will 
be 
focused 
on 
giving 
fans 
a 
chance 
to 
pre‐buy 
the 
films
 as
either
 a
 digital 
download
 or 
a 
BluRay/DVD,
 to 
be
 delivered 
once 
the
 films
 are
 completed
 and
 ready
 for
 distribution.
 
 Much
 like
 pre‐selling
 foreign
 territories,
 the
 company
 is
 looking
 to
 fans
 to
 believe
 in
 the
 films
 and
 make
 their
 purchases
 before
 production
 begins.
 
 This
 will
 enable
 the
 filmmakers
 to
 raise
 the
 up front 
monies 
to 
get 
things 
moving.



With 
a
 combined 
Twitter 
following
 of 
just 
under 
50K, 
the 
company
 is
 really 
looking
 to
 their
 social
 media
 fan
 base
 of
 film
 genre
 lovers
 and
 independent
 filmmakers
 to
 help
 get 
the
 ball 
rolling.
 "We're 
not
looking 
to 
raise 
the 
entire 
film 
budgets
 through
 crowd
 funding,
 as
 we
 just
 don't
 think
 that’d
 be
 fair
 to
 our
 amazing
 supporters."
 Thomas 
says.
"We
 are, 
however
 hoping 
to 
raise 
all 
the 
development 
funds
through
 our
 social
 network
 so
 that
 we
 can
 go
 out
 and
 get
 the
 films
 remaining
 budgets
 from
 accredited
investors."





As
 is
 typical
 with
 any
 crowd funding
 campaign,
 contributors
 will
 receive
 various
 limited
 edition
 rewards 
for
 being 
a 
part 
of 
things 
at 
the 
ground 
level.

 These 
rewards
 range 
in
 scale 
from 
one‐of‐a‐kind
 props 
from
 the 
previous 
films, 
to 
premiere 
tickets
 and 
private 
screenings 
in 
the 
contributor’s 
own
hometown.





The
 filmmakers
 will
 also
 be
 doing
 some
 pretty
 interesting
 perks
 such
 as
 an
 INSTAGRAM
 TAKEOVER,
 where
 they
 will
 take
 over
 a
 contributors
 account
 for
 an
 entire
 day
 and
 post
 videos
 and
 photos
 from
 all
 over
 Hollywood!
 
 They
 are
 even
 offering
 to
 take
 locals
 out
 for
 a
 night
 on
 the
 Sunset
 Strip
 or
 fly
 to
 a
 contributor’s
 home town 
and 
take 
them
 out 
to 
dinner 
to 
talk 
shop.

 of
 crowdfunding

 the
