Greetings Comic Book Fans!

Wet Paint Pictures is excited to welcome you to — Days of Sodom crowdfunding campaign!

Days of Sodom, is a feature length film that serves as a supernatural, detective Noir film.

He doesn’t know why he was chosen. He only knows that somehow, he has returned from the dead with a mission. Guided by a mysterious Crow, a police detective (THORN GRAY) returns from the grave to seek vengeance on the officers who murdered his wife. But the murderers may be more than he bargained for as he finds that he’s fighting for much more than revenge in this explosive hell ride through love, grief, depravity and a city in collapse.

Days of Sodom will be a feature-length Noir-horror film produced by Wet Paint Pictures. It is massive in scale, and wildly ambitious for a fan film. We began writing this script back in January 2021 and it took us more than two years to complete. It took so long because we wanted a great story with intrigue, emotional depth, violence, despair and reflection. We wanted a tortured hero with a tragic and complex backstory. We wanted him to be real, vulnerable and believable. And we wanted truly horrifying villains, not just the usual thugs, gangsters or mobsters that usually populate action movies As horror fans, we also wanted to push the limits of film the way great horror movies do, but maintain a real emotional core and character depth that horror often lacks. We’re proud to say the few who have read the Days of Sodom script, including a veteran Hollywood actor who has worked with legends from Paul Newman to Carol Burnett, have given us overwhelmingly positive feedback.

In 2020, our team at Wet Paint Pictures successfully crowdfunded and created the Friday the 13th Fan Film, VOORHEES, The film debuted on October 31st, and began streaming for free on the Wet Paint Pictures YouTube Channel where it has amassed roughly 4.5 MILLION views and counting!

BUDGET BREAKDOWN

Our goal over the next month is to raise $50,000.

Reaching this goal will give our team the necessary backing to resume filming this summer of  2024.

65% of the campaign’s funding will be invested in the production of the actual film. This includes everything from pre-production builds to on-set production costs. Catering, flying in talent, costumes, gear rentals, and locations. 

15% of funds will be held for the production of physical perks for the backers of this campaign. We have years of experience working with various vendors and expect swift deliveries once our orders are placed. 

10% of funds will be held for shipping and handling costs for both domestic and international packaging.

10% of our funds will go toward our Indiegogo hosting, processing fees, and taxes. 

All funds delivered to Wet Paint Pictures by Indiegogo are designated for the production costs mentioned above. No monetary gain would be made from its source.

The Crow, as a concept, represents the emotions of the lost and downtrodden in a society that so often abuses us at our lowest point. We feel that Days Of Sodom hits on many key points. Emotional turmoil, love, loss, and grief. Of course we’ll have… action. Lots, and lots of ACTION!

This film is simply a passion project to the core. Made by the fans, for the fans. We hope to bring something new to a franchise, and character, that means so much to so many people. 

Our ambition is that this film can continue in that vein. That this can both entertain, but also help heal people.
