When I was young, I always thought of my heart condition as being past tense, it was simply something that had happened to me. It wasn’t until I performed poorly on a cardiac stress test later in life that the condition became frighteningly present tense. My heart condition was something that I not only needed to deal with, but it was something that would continue to complicate my health as I aged.I’ve had to prioritize my health, and following in my father’s footsteps, turned to cycling. My father has been an avid cyclist for as long as I can remember and has ridden the L’Etape du Tour, where amateur riders can ride a stage of the Tour de France, several times. Unlike our lead character Amy, I did not lose a father, but lost an uncle, cousin and grandfather, all to heart related complications. Their deaths deeply affected me and have altered the way I live my life.This film is for:Anyone who has ever been affected by health problems.\u0026nbsp;Anyone working through grief in the best way they know how.\u0026nbsp;Anyone born with a condition they feel trapped by.Anyone who seeks to live life to the fullest.The writer/director at two years old receiving her second of three open heart surgeries:PREVIOUS WORK:As a writer, I explore humor and meaning in the face of tragedy and grief, drawing on personal experiences to create compellingly realistic characters who must evolve as they cope with unexpected hardship. Much like in real life, my characters' stories have both blessings and curses. Through it all, they grow despite losses or challenges, and find ways to carry on. Watch my short film Brothers below: ROAD TO L'ETAPE DU TOUR - THE MOVIECHARACTERS: LOCATIONS: CINEMATOGRAPHY:COMPARISON FILMS:TIMELINE: BUSINESS PLAN:The money we raise via WeFunder will go entirely towards the production of this feature film; our location rentals, our crew, and our cast. We will aim to generate revenue by making deals with domestic and international distributors. Specifically, once the film is completed, we will submit to the top film festivals (Sundance, SXSW, Cannes, etc) as part of our content marketing strategy. Then, we will pursue distribution deals for the film with agencies, distributors, and sales companies.After payment of production related expenses, proceeds from such deals would first provide for privileged returns for investors of 120% of your initial investment (130% of your initial investment for Early Bird Investors). After receiving such privileged returns, investors would receive 50% of net profits. As an illustrative example, if we sold US distribution rights to a large content streamer for $1m, had production expenses of $300k (funded entirely with proceeds from this WeFunder campaign with $75k of Early Bird investment and $225k of non-Early Bird investment), Early Bird investors would receive their ratable share of approximately $177k ($98k of initial investment plus privileged return and $79k as their ratable share of net profits) and non-Early Bird investors would receive their ratable share of approximately $507k ($270k of initial investment plus privileged return and $237k as their ratable share of net profits).COMMUNITY:The Upper Valley, an area of New England that includes towns in both Vermont and New Hampshire, is home to Dartmouth College, many well known artists, writers and athletes. It’s the type of place that you so desperately want to leave as a teenager, but then find yourself counting the days until you can go back as an adult. I believe that New England is a relatively untapped area where more filming should take place. In my experience, New England film festivals have some of the highest attendance rates, indicating that there is strong demand for independent film in New England.I’m so excited to involve people from the Upper Valley and the greater New England area in our film. We already have half our locations lined up thanks to the generosity of friends and family. We have a long list of New England local crew members to call upon once filming is underway. I want to share the beauty and the talents that the community of the Upper Valley has to offer, and hope this will be the first of many films I make here.TOUR DE FRANCE and L'ETAPE DU TOUR:ABOUT US: Julia Coulter is a director, writer and actor based in Los Angeles.
