A couple of weeks ago we helped announce Scenes From A Gay Marriage director Matt Riddlehoover‘s new movie, Paternity Leave, with the news he’d signed up gay film luminaries Charlie David (Mulligans, Judas Kiss) and Chris Salvatore (Eating Out series) to star.
Now an IndieGoGo campaign is in full swing for the movie, which is already more than halfway to the $5,000 its hoping to raise, which will allows it to start shooting in the next few month.
Amy Kelly (West Hollywood Motel), Rodiney Santiago (Logo’s The A List: New York), Tia Shearer (Make-out with Violence), Rafael Sochakov (Rent, Footloose) and Jacob York (Topher Payne’s Angry Fags – and pictured above, between Charlie David and Chris Salvatore) are also set to star in the gay-themed movie, which is all about a man who gets pregnant. Riddlehoover co-wrote the script with Dustin Tittle.
Of course there are also plenty of great perks available, ranging from a ‘thanks’ in the credits for $10 to an Executive Producer credit, set visit and cast party if you want to give a full $5,000. Take a look at the pitch video below, and then if you want to help out head over to IndieGoGo. [Read more…]
