A digital frame is one finished frame of the actual film. Digital frames are delivered on a CD-R disc.
Who are you?
My name is Don Varda. I am an independent filmmaker. I have been working in film and television since 1988. It is my dream to make this film about Belle Gunness and have it in theatres everywhere. I wrote my first screenplay about Belle Gunness while I was in college. I grew up less than 5 miles from where the Gunness murders took place! I have been around this story my entire life.
Can I buy more than one frame?
Yes, please do! The more you buy the higher your name will appear in the credit roll. Anyone who buys more than 2500 frames will get an Executive Producer credit in the film.
Why should I buy frames?
It is extremely rare when an opportunity like this comes along where you actually have the chance to have your name in credits of a major Hollywood film. Not only do you get a credit, you also get a DVD copy of the finished film (first 15,000). Belle Gunness has a huge following of people with an interest in her story. We are going to bring her story to the big screen. You will also be making a dream come true for me. We can only do it with your help.
Do you have a script?
Yes. We have an excellent script. We have been developing the script for several years. When Art LaFleur (Field of Dreams, The Santa Clause) was asked about the script he was very excited and said "I really liked it. It’s got some mystery to it. It’s got a good beginning, middle, and end."
What will you do with the money?
We are going to make a modern era film based on the true events of Belle Gunness. We want to raise enough money to have famous actors in the film and have enough funding to market the film when it’s finished. All funds will be held in a trust account until we begin principal photography.
Who is Belle Gunness?
Belle Gunness is one of America’s most prolific female serial killers of all time. Reports estimate that she killed more than 40 people over several decades.
She lured men to her home promising love and the good life. What they didn’t know was their lives would soon end. Belle Gunness lived less than five miles from where I grew up. Visit Wikipedia to learn more!
