Gemini Studios/Pisces Rising

Donations Outline

🌊 What We’ve Accomplished So Far

  • 🎥 Film in Progress: Pisces Rising is already deep in production — script locked, proof-of-concept scenes shot, and key symbolic sequences designed in Unreal Engine.

  • 🌀 Studio Launched: Gemini Studios built from scratch: a lean, visionary production hub created to finish the impossible with the smallest team possible.

  • 🎬 Breakthroughs Made: Achieved broadcast-level cinematography and color grading with one camera, one person, and tiny budgets.

  • 🗝️ System Cracked: Decoded how to make visionary auteur cinema sustainable — doing what traditional studios say can’t be done.

  • 💫 Personal Investment: Everything earned to date poured back into gear, skills, and the myth — over $33,000 invested into cameras, film stock, software, and creative training. No shortcuts. No fluff.

🚀 What We Need Next

We’re now seeking $10,000–$15,000 in donations to complete Phase 2 of Pisces Rising.
This covers the essentials that will unleash the final sequences:

✅ Key Equipment Upgrades:

  • Second camera body (Lumix S5 II X) for multi-angle shoots

  • Sigma 16–35mm cinema lens

  • Fresh Super 16mm Bolex for archival shots

  • Blackmagic Video Assist for on-set monitoring

  • Additional film stock for symbolic sequences

✅ Data & Archival:

  • Synology NAS 1522+ for fast recovery, backup, and storage of all footage.

✅ Core Team Support:

  • Small team stipends for the Unreal Engine sequences, color grading, and finishing sound.

✅ Proof:

  • All work so far was done with one camera and no backup.

  • The final mythic push will create a feature film that’s already half-real — but these tools make it unstoppable.

✨ Why It Matters

Pisces Rising is more than a film — it’s a mythic transmission for a generation that feels trapped, jaded, and starving for visionary cinema.
It proves that the big studios are obsolete, that visionary art can thrive with the right codes, the right gear, and the right frequency.
It’s for the ones halfway between the gutter and the stars.

💎 Where It Goes

Every dollar goes directly to:

  • Finishing the film

  • Gear that will serve future mythic films

  • Keeping the vision sovereign — no middlemen, no creative compromise

  • Further establishing homebase and final core team members

🗝️ Closing Line

✅ Help us do what they said was impossible.
✅ Help us finish the weapon.
✅ This is the new myth — and you’re part of it now.
