Female Werewolf needles in a haystack

Like when anthony brownrigg did the freeborn movie there was at least some effects in the "trailer" and even a short film(with no effects at all other than the actress growling behind a door), too bad he took the money that was donated and ran with it, then months later posting vauge responses that he was "busy" with other stuff and hes dissapeared off this board and furaffinity/deviantart.

As I wrote in my last post, they DID film teaser trailers and behind-the-scenes effects work (some were even “NSFW”), but they had to remove the vids because the lead actress left the project. You can see a photo of them casting the actress’ face though (and the actual facial mold) in old posts on the Facebook site. Also, for an idea of what the film is going for, just look at that poster. I mean, come on. As the kids like to say, "That is sexy AF."
As for actresses showing commitment, if you view the pitch video on the Indiegogo page, you’ll see a short clip of the actress who plays the titular she-wolf say how “freakin’ excited” she is to work with the writer/director again and also how important it is to have the best special effects for a movie such as this, and because she’s starred in numerous indie horror movies before, I don’t believe she was referring to the fact that this is simply a horror movie but specifically a werewolf movie, since a werewolf movie (or at least a good one) requires a standout transformation sequence.
As for Brownrigg, I wasn’t the only one who lost money on that project, and, to echo what someone else on here once said, “At best, he’s incompetent; at worst, he was a conman.” I think the truth is somewhere in-between. But seriously, asking for 1 million dollars for a low-budget indie film and then $20K for one TF scene was overambitious, to put it nicely. I can understand $100K for the film and maybe $5K for the TF scene, which btw, he almost raised, but will that scene ever see the light of day (besides the script page)? That remains to be seen, but I wouldn’t hold your breath.

At the risk of annoying that one guy who said all the posts about the movie “Betsy” should have their own thread (I don’t know how to do that save copying and posting all those messages into a new thread, and I’m too lazy for that), I have a small update about the movie. The writer/director just posted a short video on the film’s official Facebook page saying that if they reach a goal of $1,500 (their original goal was $1,000), everyone who bought a DVD or Blu-ray will get an upgrade to a Blu-ray/DVD combo pack. They’re only a few hundred away from that new goal so if you’re on the fence, now’s the time to contribute, as the campaign has less than a day to go. And because it’s almost over, this should be my last post about “Betsy” for a while unless there’s some major update, which probably won’t happen very soon.
