Mr. McCord. How can i help with making the movie. I will donate $20. Heck, i'll donate more to get a copy of the script. But still how can i help?

save you're money. Thanks to our fan base we will be putting together the website for a million pixel not for profit page to fund Freeze Frame. In the meantime be prepared to pass the word soon as it's up. Thanks for your support.

If a studio is making the movie, what would the grass roots pledges be used for? And why would you need to raise the entire amount if the pledges are just to help out vets?

[jonas613]

Hi, What is best for the film and to maximize the funds for the vets is for the "studio" to only act as a distributor. That means the cost for production is done outside the system. The studio would then pay for advertising. When the studio pays for the making of a film, they hide the profits. Forest Gump made over 300 million domestically, but the studio said it never made enough to pay the writers profit. Bottom line if they do the accounting, profits get burried.

I applaud your determination, but I have to be honest, I am really disappointed in the grass roots decision. In this economy, I just don't see many people wanting to contribute to a movie that may or may not get made, that may or may not get picked up by a studio at some point. You're going to need big corporate sponsors or something to get this made. Fans won't be able to finance something like this. I'm not sure I'd be willing to donate $20 for a movie that might never get made.

Sorry. I wasn't clear. Whether or not the not for profit grass roots idea is good or not I'm still trying to decide. The movie will be made anyway and will have major studio distribution. Also, if money was raised grass roots, it would only be as pledges or held in escrow until the entire amount was raised, otherwise it would be returned. This would just indicate to a studio the potential of the film.

thankyou for doing this. I'm excited to see this when it comes out. It will be one i'll buy. A true honest epidemic that needs to be brung to the forefront of society

Amazing. Can't wait to see it. I think we all NEED to see this. Ben really does a great job of conveying the pain of a vet, the struggle between duty and honor, justice and conscious. I love you Ben for doing this!

and I promise you that recruiters never tell their teenage recruits that they will be exposed to more alcoholism, divorce, stress, depression, violence, roughness, testosterone, death, suicide, murder and pain than what they ever saw before they joined the military. We need to start telling these kids the truth before they join the military and ruin their lives. The military is not a breeding ground for good things.  I know; Iraq vet with 101st Airborne.

This is not going to be a feel good movie in any sense of the word but it is certainly one we need to see. Ben Browder is more than up to fhe task of carrying this film.

Wow, that Christmas music throws you off...

But wow, how intense. Looks amazing! I can't wait to see it!

[zefly77]

It gave me a hell of a shock to see that scene and Ben is freaky. I wouldn't say that I'm waiting this movie hoping to spend a good moment but I'm sure that his performance gonna be amazing, strong and give another proof that Ben's a great actor.

[crichton55]

Very powerful sounding, and the fact that it's Ben Browder makes it even better. He did an amazingly brilliant job in FarScape and I believe he'll do an equally good job here. But I'm not sure if he can top his FarScape performance, though. That'll be a pretty tall order.

[Allyson55]

This looks really intense and I'm looking forward to seeing it.

[GemmaTabitha]

i seriously cannot wait for this movie! :)

[LyraStorm]

Amazing performance
