Tagline: Feature Film Thriller on Addiction VS Transformation, in the body building world
Elevator pitch: We formed this LLC to produce Gym Rat, a feature length thriller with dark comedy overtones, about fitness/body building, mental health and body image. Our goal with this production was to have the creative freedom and business agility that comes from operating totally independently and with a very modest budget. We pursue artistic excellence and also cost effectiveness in putting every cent we can "on to the screen" which maximizes our potential for commercial success too!

FAQ:
- Q: Will previews/trailers/sneak peaks be released?
  A: Hi Chloe! The teaser trailer is in the middle of our pitch video, as you probably saw. We will be releasing the first sneak peek of a scene this Friday!
- Q: Hi, as of this post it shows the Early Bird terms are still in effect, but it's not clear what the Early Bird perk is? (on the Right hand side) Is it better terms in the investment, a perk, etc... Thanks
  A: Hi Amit! We are not doing different terms, the early bird perk is a private Zoom party with members of the cast and crew where we will be showing exclusive sneak peeks of the film and hanging out directly with you later this month. That said there are only 20 days left in the campaign so if you're attracted to the project, now's the time to join us!
- Q: Hello, I'm a little confused about your budget/stages of your raise. Is $85K what you can shoot the film for? You said that $135K is for post. Is that an additional $135K for post or an additional $50K, which would bring you to $135K total? Thanks.
  A: Hi Brad! 135 is the total for finishing filming and post. So an additional 50k from what we have already raised now would finish post-production. Does that make sense?
- Q: Hey Joshua, yes that makes sense - thank you. $85K isn't a whole lot of money for production. How are you able to make that work?
  A: Hi Brad we have already filmed 80% of the movie, we are on WeFunder to raise the finishing funds!
- Q: Hello... I invested but I was wondering when will the movie be released and will it be a global release as well. Thank you in advance
  A: Hello Jeffrey welcome aboard! Our goal is to have it finished and get it distributed within the year. We will be keeping you updated every step of the way!
