Career

An Act of War

An Act of War was the first ever film to use KickStarter as a release platform. Supporters were sent copies of the film in return for contributions made which would go towards the costs associated with self-distribution. The strategy garnered national recognition from the likes of Bloomberg TV, Indie WIRE, Business Week, The Producers Guild of America, & Collider Entertainment, leading to a partnership with Revolver. The filmmakers retained the film's theatrical distribution rights and plan to release it themselves in New York and Los Angeles.[2][3][4][5]
