CAMPAIGN FOR WHEN THE BASS DROPS MOVIE

by RheinoRex

Be a part of the first movie about a middle-aged dancer with no self-esteem but incredible soul. Your tax-deductible donation will help get this feature film off the ground.

The passion project of my lifetime, WHEN THE BASS DROPS is a feature film about a woman pushing 50 who's only ever wanted to dance to the music she loved, old school hip-hop and house.  But her fear and low self-worth kept her from going for it.  Now, when circumstances bring her to rock bottom, she goes for the unlikely dream of being a hip hop dancer in New York City.  In order to summon the courage to show the world her inherent talent, she must fight the demons in her head and the disbelievers around her.  A modern coming-of-age story, this film inspires the belief that it is never too late to be who you might have been and to find belonging in yourself.  It is also a testament to the power of music to help overcome depression and isolation.
 
"Holy shit.  This script is f#*king amazing!!!" - Lisa Zambetti, Casting Director
 

 
 
I am a writer/director who has directed hundreds of projects: a feature film, several web series, commercials and music videos, including 2Pac's last and Amy Winehouse's funniest.  The script for WHEN THE BASS DROPS recently won Best Drama Screenplay at the Creative World Awards and has placed as Finalist in tens of others.
 

 
 
My producer, Divi Crockett, has over 25 years experience in the industry.  She produced the SXSW award winning feature "Shithouse," executive produced by Jay Duplass, along with countless other film and TV productions.  She was shortlisted for a Spirit Award as a producer and is the incredible backbone of this film production.
 
We are specifically looking to raise enough funds to hire a casting director to obtain the supporting talent we need to go to already interested investors and distributors.  It is literally the missing link to the production of this film.  When we reach the 18K mark, we will move forward with our steps of development into pre-production. The goal is to shoot in NYC in Spring of 2023.
 
Your DONATIONS are COMPLETELY TAX-DEDUCTIBLE, as we have partnered with 23-year-old non profit, From the Heart.  Win-win situation!
 

 
Feel free to reach out to me with any questions!
