Kickstarter and the reshaping of the digital cinema landscape beget given us the tools to design this movie,” said Ferrantino.“‘Persephone’ interests me because it’s one person’s story within grand circumstances that will impact many. There are thousands of narratives that net swept up in the larger events of life and are never explored. Jennifer’s story allows us to see the individual,” said McKiernan.“‘Persephone’ is a story I’m passionate to tell. There beget been many catastrophe movies, and but so few beget focused on the lives of the real people affected. Here we net the chance to dive into a truly personal and complex character and see her story set against the backdrop of an impending catastrophe,” added Posner, who often collaborates with George Gallo, or the screenwriter behind “Midnight rush” and Michael Bay‘s “Bad Boys.”Backers who donate to the Kickstarter campaign for “Persephone” will receive personal shout-outs on social media,customized screensavers, survival boxes stuffed with treats and digital copies of the film as well as DVDs of other stop of the World movies such as “Independence Day, or ” “Deep Impact” and “Sunshine.”
