LOS ANGELES—Sparks Entertainment has launched a 30-day crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo for its upcoming mainstream slasher horror movie, Scissors, starring Jill Kassidy and Tommy Pistol.
The campaign began on April 17 and will end on May 16. The movie follows the story of a group of friends as they spend the night in an abandoned building only to be stalked and hunted by a sadistic killer. The cast also includes Isiah Maxwell, Avery Jane, Lacey Jane and Shawn Alff, with Sparks Entertainment owner Harry Sparks set to direct.
If the funding goal is surpassed, the extra funds will be used for additional extras, equipment and locations to up the movie's overall fright factor, the company said in its announcement.

"After months of pre-production, we are finally ready to launch our crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo," director Sparks said. "With the support of our fans and horror enthusiasts, we hope to bring Scissors to life and make it the ultimate slasher horror movie experience."
The crowdfunding campaign aims to build awareness through a pitch video featuring the principal actors and promotions on social media and in mainstream press.
Once the crowdfunding goal is achieved at the end of the 30 days, principal photography will commence in June 2023 for approximately seven days. After post-production (editing, sound, music, etc.) is complete, the movie will be screened in front of press and sales agents at American Film Market in November. From there, a distribution deal will allow maximum mainstream exposure for the movie on major streaming platforms such as Netflix, Tubi and Amazon.
