It's hard out there for Canadian filmmakers. But thanks to
crowd-funding campaigns like Indiegogo, you can help give the green light to budding
independent filmmakers. One campaign that deserves some support is I Put a Hit on You, the new film from
writers/directors/lovers Dane Clark and Linsey Stewart. I Put a Hit on You is a dark romantic comedy about a woman (Sarah
Canning) who posts a hit on her boyfriend (Aaron Ashmore) on Craig’s List, but
then has second thoughts. The couple then joins up to stop the killer and
confront their troubled relationship. Hit
is Clark and Stewart’s first feature together after their successful shorts
Long Branch and Margo Lily. (You can watch Margo Lily on the CBC's Canadian Reflections, if you want a test drive.) I stumbled upon Margo
Lily at WSFF this year and was wowed by impact the filmmakers made in a
mere eight minutes. (Review here.) Margo
Lily nabbed my pick as the Best Canadian Short at WSFF, so I can personally
vouch that this filmmaking team can deliver on your investment. (And, if not, you can
put a hit on me.)
The campaign has 12 days left. Don’t put a hit on Canadian
talent! Contribute to the project via the Indiegogo thing embedded below:
