I've been dreaming of this opportunity to direct and an opportunity to be working with such talented crew for a long time. There is a deep message that we can all survive nearly anything if we want to. This film project really resonates with me as I spent so many years of my own life doing things that should have killed me every single day but didn't. Now, settled down and sober I can look back at that part of my life with a different spectrum of light and see all the murky wasted bits and use bits and pieces of the real sad horror comedy that I was living as fuel for artistic expression. This film project helps me to do that in a way that I can possibly not just entertain but, Also bring the underlying message to some people who might really see that sort of illumination on their own darknesses for the first time because of it. That's why I am here. That's why I want to make this happen.

Joseph Pendergast hasn't added a story.

You are going to want to watch this movie. It's funny, it's horrifying, it's apocalyptic... and Steve is a filthy mess!

Set in an alternate early 2000's this movie follows a hard working man who has a little trouble getting clean at the end of the world. 

 

WHO AM I?

Hi, 

My name is Joseph Pendergast. I have been on the edges of the film industry for a long time. I spent 8 years working in the background on a TV show and have worked on a few independent film projects. I've been writing music, stories and scripts and drawing and animating for over twenty years mostly for my own amusement. Now, I what I hope to bring to you a 2-D animation infused live action feature full of hilarious gore sprinkled with hard hitting drama and topped with unconventional love. I bring you... 

"A Filthy Mess"

 

"It's like John Waters wrote Evil Dead." - Someone who has read the script.

 

CREW

My crew is comprised of independent film makers and IATSE union members working on their off time to bring this movie to life because, it confronts the sickness that is addiction and the struggle that we all as writers, musicians, actors and crew members have personally worked to overcome and that even a total creature feature of a person like our main character "Steve" can sorta find his way and who knows maybe even a little love. I personally stand on a year sober and the crew all have many many years sober.

Right now I have an excellent Skelton crew fired up doing things in preproduction and we can make it happen but, it wouldn't look right without sfx and proper bits of equipment we don't yet possess. we really need some community support and figured why not ask the people who really want this movie to be made more than us... you!

 

TEASER?

Not yet. Due to the nature of movie secrets and movies that aren't in actual production yet we do not have any juicy teasers or a trailer yet for you. but, when we do this will be the first place to see it.

 

WHAT IS THE MONEY FOR?

Your contribution will help us buy so many buckets of blood and latex, pay people for up front services, and a long list of essential stuff for making a film and making it right and good. 

 

WHAT DO YOU GET?

All funders will receive a thank you email from myself. Any contribution over 25 dollars and your name will appear in the film credits.  Any physical items will ship during post production. Stay tuned for sneak photos, introductions from cast and crew and so much more!

HOW ELSE CAN I HELP?

Have an idea on how to help us or have any questions reach out and let us know!
