Armageddon Gold - a community movie
Project Lead = Emmet Mathieu
Armageddon Gold is a fun and exciting tale, set twenty years after an apocalypse brought on
by total economic collapse. It’s inspiration was the pitfalls of apathetic consumerism and how
the behavior of the human race would evolve if the comforts we enjoy today were suddenly
taken from us.
The film is strictly for fun and to bring the local community together. All participants must be volunteer as this film is not for profit. I wrote the script a while back, on a whim, and it flowed beautifully and became something very near and dear to me. I later took it to the Swanton Arts Council where I found support for the project and a desire to involve as many people in the local arts community to make this as fun as possible! This will be my first feature length film (run time of at least 40 minutes) and hopefully the doorway to many more.
Below is a list of things still needed for the film including a prop list, list of needed filming locations, and character descriptions that could help in finding the right actors for the part. All suggestions and support welcome, we need people of all backgrounds and talents, just get involved! Art is so much more fun when shared with other artists.
Reach out to me personally at emmet.mathieu@gmail.com with any questions. Thank you! Emmet Mathieu, Director
Props list:
Note: I have been as specific as possible with the props as they appear in the film. Non exact items will still be accepted.
Armageddon Gold began as an inside joke that quickly sparked inspiration, leading me to write a script I loved so much, there was nothing to do but make it a reality. I hope it becomes a rally point for artistic people in the community. I would like to see it ignite a desire in people for future community art projects. Armageddon Gold will be my biggest step yet into the world of filmmaking. I hope this film will give our local community, and anyone else who sees it, something worth watching.
