Here on Dread we’re always looking for exciting fundraising campaigns to promote, as platforms like Kickstarter and Indiegogo are where tomorrow’s filmmakers go in an effort to get a chance at making their first movie. So we find it important to share such fundraisers, when we come across them.

Today’s project is a psychological horror film titled The Events Surrounding a Peeping Tom & the Horror That Followed, which director Brian James Fitzpatrick hopes to spend this year making. Described as a character driven tale examining the psychology of voyeurism in our postmodern world of hyper-surveillance, the project has piqued our interest in a big way.

The Events Surrounding a Peeping Tom & the Horror That Followed is the disturbing story of Martin Malone, a lonely man who finds himself caught and arrested following a misstep. As he nears the end of his court-mandated rehabilitation, Martin is still unable to fight his urges and begins to peep again. It is then that he discovers Rowan, the girl of his dreams.

As Martin’s obsession with Rowan grows, he begins to suspect that she may be involved with the occult. Using his peeping skills, Martin begins an investigation that leads him down a twisted path to something more horrible than anything he could ever imagine and realizes that all the while, he’s being watched himself.

Brian James Fitzpatrick is a writer/director who worked as associate producer on Spring Breakers and the upcoming horror anthology Holidays. Already on board to star is Damian Maffei (Christmas with the Dead), who was recently joined by the beautiful Hannah Fierman (V/H/S).

At the time of writing this, there are only four days left to help fund the film, which is almost halfway to its $40,000 goal. Perks for donating are pretty spectacular, with the coolest being a one-hour pitch session with producer Travis Stevens (Starry Eyes, Cheap Thrills). For just $250 you can meet with Stevens face-to-face, and pitch him YOUR movie idea.
