RYD Kickstarter Project


Our Kickstarter Project: 
Remember Your Death is currently in pre-production and will begin filming in mid March. Our Kickstarter goal of $10,00 is based on the level of production value we hope to achieve, and the minimum budget required to make this happen. Your donation today will go directly towards covering some of these expenses. Our hard costs include rentals (Red camera package, lighting, grip and electric), production design, and meals for our hard-working cast and crew.

For us, Remember Your Death marks the first return to film-making since the recession. While we are thankful to have been kept afloat on the commercial side of production, we're happy to be returning to the medium we love so much. Thank you for your interest in our project and for helping us get one step closer to reaching our goal.

About the Film

Remember Your Death is the story of three men hired to clean up after a banker's bloody shotgun suicide. In a brisk, macabre and witty thirteen pages we meet John, the young boss; Joe, the dim-witted second-in-command and Tom, the fifty-something former white-collar contractor whose first day back on the job finds him face-to-face with more blood than he could ever imagine, a second decomposing body and an irate widow whose entire life has been a lie.

Remember Your Death is a film about death and about gore. It is a film about running away and starting over. It is a film about an America in economic ruin and the men and women left to clean up the mess.

An agreement has been reached on the debt ceiling and we head into color-correction.

Everything remains the same.

Perhaps the saddest thing about finishing RYD is that there was time, before we began, when I wondered if the economy would have improved by the time we were done.

It's always good...

When your editor says he had to stop watching a certain sequence in the film because it was making him too anxious.

Imagine how the viewer will feel?

No help from strangers...

We have so many business cards left over from our successful Kickstarter campaign that our next six films are going to have to be called Remember Your Death.

RYD writer/director Greg Croteau's The Aristocrat screening at SFIndie Fest!
RYD writer/director Greg Croteau's The Aristocrat screening at SFIndie Fest!:

Here’s the screening info for The Aristocrat at SFIndie Fest. If you can re-post this or pass the info to any of your west coast friends, I’d greatly appreciate. Both screenings are going to be dynamite but Tuesday night’s is co-presented by the Film Noir Foundation and my Q&A will be moderated by San Francisco author and film noir expert Eddie Muller.

Set in 1989, arguably the twilight of the classic traveling salesman, against the backdrop of the crumbling semi-conductor industry. Marc Ward, a traveling salesman with a talent for stained glass art, plans to leave his life on the road and use his savings to fund a year figuring out what to do next. But not before he spends a week training his replacement, a brash young kid named Eddie Kent. This classic tale of grifters will leave you wondering who’s schooling who in the business.

Produced by RYD’s Rachel Luskin.

RYD Kickstarter project launch:

Our Kickstarter project just went live this morning. In addition to helping us raise the funds needed for our production budget, it’s also a great way to find out more about the film, so we’re excited to share it with you! The easiest way for you to get involved is to help us spread the word about the project. Helping us gain momentum on a small project like this can really make a difference in our success.

Thanks for your support!
