00:00Hi, I'm Cody Levesque, and I'm the writer, director, and co-producer of the upcoming
00:08short film, Jack-O-Lantern.
00:10It's a supernatural Halloween horror film that follows a young couple looking to have
00:13a fun and festive date night, but ends up turning into something sinister.
00:17It's inspired by a combination of the original Halloween film, mixed with a dark and supernatural
00:22feel of hereditary.
00:23Carving Jack-O-Lanterns is a staple when it comes to Halloween, so it was obvious to include
00:27this as the focal point of the film.
00:29Now to meet the cast.
00:30Hi, I'm Alicia Lopez, and I play the role of Candace.
00:35I've always wanted to be a scream queen.
00:38That's my dream.
00:39And so when I read the script for Jack-O-Lantern, it immediately reminded me of all of my favorite
00:46horror movies growing up, particularly like Halloween and Scream.
00:51And so I knew that I just had to be a part of it.
00:54Hi, I'm Luke Lydell.
00:55I'm going to be playing the role of Jack in this movie.
00:58I loved this script right when I read it.
01:00I thought it was very well written, and it's about Halloween, and that's my favorite holiday.
01:07I also love everything pumpkins, and spoiler alert, there's going to be some pumpkins in
01:12this film.
01:13In order to bring this film to life, we need your help.
01:15We know times are tough, but each donation matters.
01:18Whether it be $1, $5, $10, anything you can spare is greatly appreciated and will be very
01:24helpful.
01:25We will use these funds to pay our fantastic cast and crew, to rent much-needed gear, and
01:30to purchase set design pieces that will create the world that our characters are living in.
01:33And of course, that includes pumpkins.
01:35So as far as schedule, we will be filming the first weekend of October.
01:39This will help keep everyone in the Halloween spirit while filming.
01:42After filming, we will move into post-production, which will include a unique score by a talented
01:46composer and a professional colorist who will help create the look that we are going for.
01:51We will then submit to film festivals, especially ones that specialize in horror films.
01:55Thank you for taking the time to check out our See & Spark campaign.
01:58We truly appreciate it.
01:59Your donations are crucial in allowing us to create this dark and spooky Halloween horror
02:04film.
