Kickstart Hungry’s Bankroll

We’ve launched our fundraising page!  We need your help to get this thing cookin’, so take a look.  We know times are tough, but any amount helps.  A lot.  Check out www.kickstarter.com/projects/raggedclaw/hungry-tell-the-cannibals-tale to lend a hand, and maybe some of that hard-earned money.

Fundraiser Date

The good people at Cattivo (http://www.cattivo.biz/) have offered us their help and will be hosting the first fundraising event!  It’s Thursday, October 7th at 7:00.  More details to follow.  Thanks Renee and Frank!

Look what we did…

We finished the teaser and premiered it to about 250 people at the Kelly Strayhorn theater last night (Aug. 26th).  The 48 Hour Film Project and ArtDimensions Pittsburgh were there.  Lots of great short films and art.  You really should have been there.

But we love you even if you weren’t, which is why you can watch it right here.  Hope you like.  Pass it on to your friends.  All of them…

Hungry Tease

We are also looking for a band to play our first fundraising event, tentatively planned for the end of September.  If you or anyone you know is in a band and interested in playing, get in touch with us.

Poster

Holy crap!!!  Kahmeela Friedson rocks our world.  Just look at this wicked poster.  Love you, Kahmeela.

Also, the fundraiser is nigh.  End of September.  Live music.  Artwork.  Raffles.  Booze.  Food.  Check back for the date and place.

And we’re holding auditions for the last few roles soon.  Get us your resume and headshot.  Or your facebook page.  Or a grainy webcam pic and an email.  We want you involved.  But remember, we have no money, and so we cannot promise any to you.  Yeah.  We know.  It’s a bummer.

Teaser

So.  Day one of filming is officially over.  The Hungry teaser is all but finished!  All we have to do is the video edit.  And the sound edit.  And write and record the soundtrack.  So really, we’re not even close.  But we will be.  I swear.  Look for it around the end of the month.

HEY YINZ GUYS!!!

It is official.  Ragged Claw Productions now has its own website.  We wish we had more compelling news, or at least some sparklers or something to jazz it up a little, but Mick says ‘you can’t always get what you want’, and he’s probably right.

Anyway, let me make you aware of the situation.

This is the start of an experiment.  We want to see if we can produce a film locally, using all local talent and resources, and have that film be both totally effin’ sweet and commercially viable.  We (‘we’ = everybody along for this ride) believe we can.

Our first production is Hungry. It’s a black comedy about – well, you can click the tab to your left.  We’ll be raising money and looking for those last few cast and crew members soon enough.

For the moment, we’re content knowing we’ve found our own little spot in the virtual world.  Please visit often.
