a shout out to all Resident Evil fans out there

I am making a RE fan film (based off of the video games, not the movies) and in order to bring the Licker, Las Plagas, and many other creatures to the screen I am in need of funding. So I humbly ask that all that wish to contribute to the making of this movie please donate a few dollars. I'm not asking for a whole lot of cash (although that would be great), just 5 dollars or so. If anyone is willing to chip in I will give you further info soon and you will be garenteed a place in the credits

You really need to work on your pitch.

First you should find Resident Evil fans. I’m sure there are a few
here but most are fellow filmmakers struggling to find five bucks
to make their own movie. So you need to look for fans of the video
games.

Second; you need to think what it would take to get you to give
five bucks to someone you don’t know so they can make a fan film.
Then you need to take that and use it in your pitch. Just because
you want to make a movie isn’t usually good enough. Why would
YOU give five bucks to someone you don't know to make a movie?

Third; you need to tell people how much you need to make your
movie. Think about it; would YOU give five dollars to someone
using this pitch? I know I would wonder how much does this guy
need? $100? $1,000? $10,000? I would wonder if this guy is really
going to make a movie or just take my $5 and in six months tell me
he didn’t get enough to do it right so has decided not to do it.

What he said, then use something like this.

YMMV.
