WHO ARE YOU GUYS?

Final Boss Productions is an alliance formed in 2010 by Nick Poling and Alex De Roest to promote and create theater, film, and other artistic endeavors in Snohomish County, WA. We wrote, directed and produced our first play, The Thrilling Adventures of the Famous Lewis and Clark! in 2011 in Everett. After a successful run, the play moved to Seattle as a late night show at The Annex.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING NOW?

Cuts & Bruises marks our first foray into the world of film. In true Final Boss fashion, instead of going for a short film or web series, we said "screw it" and dove right into a massive feature film project filled with robots, vampires, and violence. The film begins simple enough: three friends win the lottery. What follows is a increasingly absurd descent into comedic madness, dark magic, and international politics. It ends with a witch battle. One more time: A witch battle.

We filmed in Marysville, Everett, and plenty of other locations all around Snohomish County!

This film is unlike anything that has ever been seen by a human. Last summer our excellent cast came together and performed reason-defying scenes for your viewing pleasure. People were thrown down hills so many times they vomited. FOR YOU. People were hit irresponsibly with cars. FOR YOU. Actors were forced to beat each other with sticks literally dozens of times while the directors screamed "harder!" while laughing at them. FOR YOU.

A year later, the editing, ADR work, and pickup shots were completed. Currently, local musicians are working furiously to finish the original soundtrack. Masterpiece after masterpiece, the songs roll in. The film's completion is at hand... We are on the cusp of a new era.

WHAT DO YOU NEED?

Here's a breakdown of our needs:

- $1000 for visual effects

- $500 for color grading

- $750 for DVD and rewards production

- $250 goes to Kickstarter

This film contains plenty of ambitious visual effects shots. The amazing G.R. Uji has stepped up to the plate, vowing to use his extraordinary abilities to turn our overactive imaginations into reality. He requires payment for his services.

Being poor people, who spend what little money they do have making weird movies, we need your help with this part.

Please help us out. Dozens of artists have put hundreds of hours of work into this project, and we can't let them down. Donate today and get some sweet swag! #yolo #youngpeople #arewedoingthisright?
