EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE IN THE END –
THE FEATURE FILM
We are indie filmmakers Joe Bartone – https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2416624/
and cinematographer/director, Jose Zambrano Cassella. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0952580/
Together, we’ve won dozens of awards for writing, directing, producing, composing, cinematography, and a Technical Emmy (2013).
Here is a link to our last film, Brides of Jesus – A Proof of Concept.
Everything Will Be Fine In The End is like
Three aimless Gen Zs botch a break-in and suffer the consequences.
Struggling 20-something grifters face their bleak outlook of the future against the backdrop of a world on fire. Rudderless, their choices erode as fast as the shoreline. After stealing a dog and a home robbery that leaves the owner dead, they are followed by her ghost who pushes them to make a life-changing decision.
Small Factory Films has video editing, audio post, and composing covered. We saved a few thousand for the production of this feature. But we still need to rent cameras, lights, locations, permits, and pay cast and crew.

Joe Bartone’s personal, rare Dave Smith Instruments Prophet 12 Synthesizer
The one used on Brides of Jesus soundtracks and countless film scores. This is the first new polyphonic synth I ever bought. So many songs were written on this. I will miss it, but I need to make this film. This one hurts. 
This is a 12-voice DCO Analog synth from 2017, made at the Prophet factory in San Fransisco. Despite a few scratches, it is a fully functional monster synth in fantastic shape. The Dave Smith Instruments Prophet 12 is a monstrously powerful hybrid analog and digital 12-voice polyphonic synthesizer. Offering new digital waveform shapes, analog Curtis filters and distortion, a digital Character effects section, and delay and feedback effects, the Prophet 12 also features a 5-octave velocity and aftertouch-sensitive keyboard, pitch and modulation wheels, and two touch and pressure-sensitive sliders.
