MOMS AND POPS ON INDIEGOGO

We are up, running and crazy ready to go. If you haven't already done so,  please check out our MOMS AND POPS THE MOVIE Indiegogo campaign!

You can read a little about the project itself and watch some first concept clips of what our vision is for the project. We have a limited time to raise funds, so if you can help in any way, that would be great.

If you love your parents. If you love your grandparents, support our project. Instead of depicting grandparents as doddering or ailing as sadly, many projects do. In MOMS AND POPS we depict them as howe they truly are, thinking, loving people with complex lives and complex situations.

Our project is a thriller with a unique new twist and we like it that way. We know you will too.

LAURA BUTLER AND CARY TUSAN: 

SPENT TV FOUNDERS and CO-DIRECTORS OF THE MOMS AND POPS PROJECT.

So you hear from us on the blog and not about us. Here's a photo of us on the drive up to Park City Utah for the Sundance Film Festival and some of what we've done.
