Story
About The Project
Teaser
SynopsisOur story follows Joe Bell on his journey from bored, hermit accountant to hero. In the beginning, Joe doesn't live his life. He's a penny pincher and avoids anything out of his normal routine.
One day, Joe meets a cryptic old man known as, The Clockmaker. The Clockmaker gives Joe a large chest filled with treasure. (Un)fortunately for Joe, the Clockmaker "accidentally" locks the chest and the key is nowhere to be found.
To claim the treasure, Joe must abandon his old way of living and set out on a life changing quest to find the key. His pursuit of the key takes him on a series of adventures and each adventure is a different genre.
Joe eventually finds the key around the neck of a beautiful and sassy young lady named, Abbey. He begins to fall in love with her as he pursues her for the key. By odd circumstance, Abbey is kidnapped just as she's about to give Joe the key. He must rescue her if he has any hope of attaining wealth or love.
Production
Shooting on Saving For The Day has wrapped. There are 25 speaking roles and nearly 200 background actors. We shot 77 days of principal photography and 28 days of second unit photography. To date, the cast & crew has put in a combined 6,500 hours of work on this project. It has been a long, but rewarding road.

Why We Need Your Help
We have worked tirelessly fueled only by a shoestring budget and passion to get to this point. However, we can go no further without your help. We are now in the early stages of post production which is both expensive and labor-intenstive.
The Importance of Post Production
Post production is the difference between a good movie and a great movie. The film is currently in rough cut form. Our next step is to finalize the edit so that the remaining five stages of post production can begin. They are:
• VISUAL EFFECTS are necessary for subtle elements (sky replacement, fall color enhancement, etc.), obvious effects (laser blasts, spaceships, etc.), and matte paintings (create exotic locations, set extensions, etc.).
• COLOR GRADING to stylize the images to match the appropriate genre.
• SOUND DESIGN brings the film to life by adding foley (footsteps, doors closing, keys jingling, etc.) and sound effects (gun shots, swords clanking, space ship engines, etc.)
• MUSICAL SCORE is the heart of the film. This film is a roller coaster ride through 15 different genres and the score will escort us through the journey while enhancing each genre along the way.
• FINAL SOUND MIX & MASTERING will balance and combine the dialogue, foley, sound effects, and music.
[Watch the short video below for an example of the importance of Post-Production]
What Makes This Project Different?There is one major difference between this project and many other film projects. We aren't asking for funds to go make a movie. The movie has already been made. Hundreds of people have worked for thousands of hours to get to this point. YOU ARE THE KEY to completing the final leg of this epic project of passion.

In high school, Casey was a highly touted athlete. His hard work and dedication was rewarded by receiving the honor of becoming a member on the University of Montana's Grizzly Football Team. Far from inland Montana, Casey scored a career in Berring Sea fishing. While there, he became a deckhand on the Deadliest Catch, where he gained intimate knowledge of the cameramen and their duties while working on his boat, the “Kiska Sea.” Shortly after, he propelled himself into the world of reality TV on another show, Dangerous Waters. In 2013, he was employed to assist in filming the show, and climbed his way to head cameraman. He broke the mold of mariners on small vessels in 2014 by riding a jet ski, and filming his journey from Iceland to Greece...the first expedition of it's kind.
