Ilya Naishuller, the creator of last year's POV action short Bad Mother###### which received over 40 million views, has launched an IndieGoGo page to fund the completion of his POV feature film Hardcore.
Produced by Timur Bekmambetov, the director of the Night Watch series and Wanted, Hardcore is described as a "modern, action Sci-Fi story about HENRY, a newly resurrected cyborg who must save his wife/creator ESTELLE (Haley Bennet) from the clutches of a psychotic tyrant with telekinetic powers, AKAN (Danila Kozlovsky), and his army of mercenaries. Fighting alongside Henry is JIMMY (Sharlto Copley), who is Henry's only hope to make it through the day. Hardcore takes place over the course of one day in Moscow, Russia and it's all shot in the same style as BAD MOTHER###### to be released in cinemas worldwide."
The film is all shot, but still requires a "little more to finish it while keeping it in our creative control," hence the need for crowd-funding.
"We are about to enter the next stage, post-production. We are crowdfunding for additional funds to complete the film to the highest standard possible," explains the IndieGoGo page.
"From the early days of pre-production, we knew that sooner or later, we'd have to turn to either the money men or to crowdfunding to complete the film. I decided that I would be ready to crowdfund, but only once the film is shot and I like what I see. That time has come.
"What we need to do is to make sure that the final look and feel of the Hardcore isn't dictated by the terms of it's distribution, but rather by the people who put thousands of hours into making it happen."
The $250,000 sought will be spent on: 40% CGI, 25% sound design/mixing, 15% colour correction, 10% fulfilment, and 10% taxes.
All extra money will mean improved quality on the CGI and the possibility of including a few licensed songs.
