Promotional trailer for a slasher film, currently in production, called The Trouble with Barry -- "a kick-ass throwback to bitchin' VHS-era b-movie madness!"

We're launching a one-week crowdfunding campaign to finish our (almost) no-budget slasher film.

This micro-budget affair has been a labor of love for us, a pair of producing partners and horror nuts living in Hollywood, California. Currently employed in the lower rungs of the entertainment industry, our dream was to create "a kick-ass throwback to bitchin' VHS-era B-movie madness." The movie, which has been in production since July, boasts a co-starring role from horror veteran Lynn Lowry (The Crazies, Cat People), and features appearances by the legendary scream queens Linnea Quigley, Brinke Stevens, and Michelle Bauer.

The cast is headed by Peter Stickles (Cemetery Gates, Evil Bong 3D) as the title character Barry Montenegro, a potentially murderous, Vincent Gallo-type indie actor who has run his career into the ground with the usual trappings of semi-stardom ("You're through in brooding indies, you're through in monster mash-ups for the SyFy Channel, and you're through in softcore porn disguised as exercise videos!" a producer tells him). Also appearing are Chris Pudlo (Best Worst Movie), cult favorite Juliette Danielle (The Room), and comedienne Shannon Amabile ("I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant") as a snarling, Asia Argento-esque red herring.

Beautiful young chicks and horrific villians sell horror. Old has-beens do not.

If it is "almost" no budget and you have "names" in it, why do you need my money to make this film? If the names involved don't help you scrape together a few thousand dollars of pre-sale the you've got the wrong names in your film.

Pre-sale? What's that? We're renegade amateurs passionately slaving over a zero-budget film in homage to a bygone era that we miss. That's where the "old has-beens" come into the picture. We need money because films aren't free to make. As far as your money is concerned, we can live without it. We've got beautiful young chicks and horrific villians (sic) as you requested, but one thing we don't have or want is jaded, snarky collaborators -- so you're off the hook.
