Daakins Productions is excited to announce our new horror film My Beautiful Rose!

OUR STORY

          When I met my wife, I was in awe with more than just her beauty, it was her journey and her enduring spirit that I felt a kinship with the likes I had never known before. She is an amazing human being and a healer of the soul. Even with my stoic nature she was able to effortlessly float into my core and uncover things I still needed help processing. Likewise, I found her in the midst of diligently working through PTSD, having experienced childhood abuse. We connected as lovers, friends, and artists. She told me her story. It went into my brain. It was a lot. At first I didn't know what to do with all the pain. But eventually, I did what I've always done. I used my art form to cathartically exercise that pain from my soul and adapted her story into a slow burn horror screenplay about a young Mongolian woman trapped and tormented in her apartment by paranormal forces (a metaphor, mind you). We spent a lot of 2024 preparing to make this important piece and that year culminated in us tying the knot. And we've never been happier. We often find ourselves staring at each and smiling like buffoons. What can I say... we are obnoxiously in love. And we love making ART!

FILM SYNOPSIS

          In the bustling metropolis of Los Angeles, Rose, a young Mongolian woman, seeks solace in her new high-rise apartment, hoping to escape the haunting memories of her past. But as she settles into her new life, she soon realizes that the shadows of her past have followed her, manifesting into something far more sinister than she could have ever imagined.

Haunted by the traumatic loss of her mother in a brutal car wreck during her childhood, Rose finds herself trapped in a nightmarish reality where her past trauma has taken on a malevolent form. This evil spirit, a twisted version of herself, torments her with terrifying visions and relentless psychological torment, leaving her paralyzed with fear.

As the supernatural manifestations intensify, Rose's grip on reality begins to unravel. Desperate for answers, she delves into her own past, uncovering long-buried secrets and confronting painful truths. But the more she learns, the deeper she falls into the clutches of her own personal hell.

With each passing day, the line between reality and nightmare blurs, and Rose finds herself in a race against time to confront the darkness within her before it consumes her completely. But as she battles the evil spirit of her own trauma, she must also confront her deepest fears and darkest memories, reliving the horrors of her past in order to break free from its grip.

In a gripping climax that explores the depths of fear, trauma, and redemption, Rose must summon all her strength to confront the evil that haunts her and reclaim her own identity. My Beautiful Rose is a psychological thriller that delves into the darkest corners of the human psyche, exploring the power of trauma, the resilience of the human spirit, and the journey towards healing and self-discovery.

PRODUCTION VALUE

          We're shooting true anamorphic on a 6k cinema camera. We have many Bi-color LED lights and a ton of camera support gear. (Shoulder Rig, Gimbal, Steadicam, Car Mount, Indy-Jib, Slider, Tripod, etc.) We also have all the top-notch audio equipment needed. Sennheiser Lavs, Boom Mic/Pole, Zoom F6 Recorder, etc.

BUDGET

          While $25,000 is the absolute bare minimum amount we need to raise to finish this film with without cutting important (but expensive) elements (shots, sfx, vfx, etc.) and still be able to fulfill our campaign rewards after the platforms fees, our true goal is much higher. The sky is the limit. Simply put $2,000 towards special effects makeup doesn't get you what $10,000 will. The same goes for visual effects (CGI) and so on. The more money we raise, the higher the projects production value will be. But rest assured, we will deliver an enjoyable film that will keep you glued to your seat, regardless of the budget. We are already halfway through production and we're not stopping or waiting around for an angel investor to believe in us. WE believe in US. And we believe in you! We hope you believe in us too!

          If we can raise $100,000 we will be able to backpay our skeleton crew and kick the production value up to the next level. This means it won't be just me and a buddy slaving away behind the camera, wearing 9 hats a piece. We can hire a professional drone operator to take our cinematic shots to the sky. There are additional scenes that explore the themes deeper. And last but not least, I'll finally be able to flip a car, I'm mean really throw that sucker. But it's not just a silly desire, it is an integral story element.

          Maybe we're insane for trying to raise that kind of money through Kickstarter. But you never know. In any case, we are also approaching investors. Because we can shoot the film and continue raising money for post-production. And the most expensive scenes are scheduled towards the end of the shoot, giving us even more time to make those scenes shine. This campaign being successful will go a long way in showing investors that you guys want this movie, that there is a fanbase and a following for Daakins Productions and My Beautiful Rose!
