Tarps Plus Helps the Feature Film "The Guitar Player" with Tarp Drives Across the Country

    PALMDALE, CA, September 17, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The feature film "The Guitar Player", is the fictional portrayal of a homeless guitar player who helps rehabilitate a young girl living on the street. When he is not sleeping under tarps he lives in the cheapest motel in Los Angeles. This man's only income is generated by his street performance playing the guitar. This guitar once belonged to his best friend whom he murdered in high school. He must clean up his own past if he wants to help the young prostitute find a brighter future for herself.

A majority of the funds raised for this movie will be generated from crowd funding sources, such as Kickstarter. Kickstarter is a fund-raising website where individuals are allowed to promote their creative projects and receive support from other individuals who see value in the project. The goal for this movie is to raise at least $150,000, but it is possible to earn more than that goal.
The way this funding platform works is ingenious. The project will either reach its predetermined goal and walk away with enough money to produce the piece, or go home empty-handed. This enforces the idea that projects which do get made will have an audience and those that would not have had an audience do not waste time or money.

If enough funds are raised online, then the movie will start production this October. Production will take place in Hollywood, Los Angeles, and in Northern California. The producers on this show are highly experienced and have a knack for working efficiently. They have taken lessons from their past experience. Having worked in development and on set, the producers have built comprehensive knowledge of what needs to take place during pre-production to ensure smooth sailing throughout the entirety of the project.

Filmmaker and Actor Michael Stein, has directed many dramatic pieces in the past, but this movie is dearest to his heart. This entrepreneur is not accepting any compensation for his part in creating the film so that there will be more funds available for production. The earnings from the film will go to charity to help the homeless.

Stein is holding tarp drives across the country in order to bring awareness to the project. The tarp drives consist of one thousand tarps being handed out to people living on the streets. The poly tarps help the homeless to prevent hypothermia. People living on the streets in cold climate cities need stay dry and warm. The waterproof tarps enable them to do that.

Stein's strong acting background proves to supplement his directing ability. He knows the appropriate terminology and approaches that actors use when performing scenes. His charismatic and comical personality has been exercised during his performances as a comedian at places like the "Laugh Factory" and "The Improv".

This piece focuses on the logistical hardships that fall on the homeless as well as the psychological drama that they must deal with. The Guitar Player's act of running away from his murderous life when he was a child depicts the way society runs away from its issues. When problems in people's lives go unresolved, then they leave people without a real place to call home. This movie should help to bring awareness to one of the most common problems that society faces; homelessness.

The feature film "The Guitar Player" can be made possible with your monetary contribution. Participate now by visiting the Kickstarter website and joining as a contributor or associate producer. Your donation will create awareness for the homeless in your community.
