Crowd Funding Campaign Launching for Pale Face Movie Project

WEST JORDAN, Utah - Oct. 15, 2024 - PRLog -- A crowd-funding campaign is launching Oct. 14, 2024, for the Safe Harbor Films (SHF) indie movie project taking Pale Face to the big screen. The novella was written by Utah author W.D. Kilpack III, who's also screenwriting.

The crowd-funding campaign's goal is $10k to implement plans and secure talent. If more is made, then that will get the production further along the path.

SHF President Tony A. Angelo said, "We are very passionate about Pale Face! It's not just a movie project, it's a gripping science-fiction alien-adduction thriller with a Native American hero. It's the kind of film that mainstream Hollywood claims can't be made."

The novella Pale Face received Honorable Mention from the L. Ron Hubbard's Writers of the Future Contest and won the International Firebird Book Award.

Award-winning Director Tom Konkle said, "Something that science fiction does well is talk about truths in an abstract background that we can all understand. The idea of a Western-Native American-Sci-Fi thing is cool, but it's also about something. The Native American setting is not window dressing. It's intrinsic to the story."

Kilpack said, "I learned when I was young that I'm part Cherokee, which started my interest in all things Native American. I have Native American characters or cultural aspects in a lot of what I write. I've been criticized for it over the years, but it's what I would want to read, so it's what I write."

The crowd-funding campaign allows people to help bring a kind of film to the screen not been seen before. Of the 1,600 top-grossing films from 2007-2022, less than one-quarter of one percent of all speaking roles went to Native Americans. The percentage of Native American roles did not exceed 1% across any of the years evaluated. Contributing can provide access to how this groundbreaking film is made, VIP tickets to the premiere, having their name in the credits, personalized thank-you gifts, and more.
