It’s been seven years since Oklahoma filmmaker tackled his first project as writer/director,
You People. In the time since, the world has undergone multiple U.S. presidential elections, a global pandemic, and dual WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, and Chapman has continued to embrace his role as
co-host of this podcast. Through it all, he’s remained persistent with his new original psychological thriller, To Make the World Quiet.
The filmmaker describes the film as “combining elements of urban cinema, sci-fi, horror, mystery, and drama. Think Fruitvale Station meets The Sixth Sense with a dose of Get Out.”
This week,
To Make the World Quiet has entered into the final hours of crowdsourcing to ensure Chapman adequately tells the story at the budget he needs to do the idea justice. Though the deadCenter award-winning storyteller beat his IndieGoGo’s initial $15,000 in just hours, the initial push was just one small part of his larger fundraising efforts. His overall goal across fundraisers is $50,000.
To give his efforts one last push before the October 31st deadline, a contributor has offered to match
every new donation sent through the IndieGoGo, dollar for dollar.
In this episode,
The Cinematic Schematic host/producer Caleb Masters talks with co-host Laron Chapman about how he found the idea for the project, what he plans to do with the funds raised, and what listeners can do to help.
Tune in to hear how you can help this indie film become a reality.
