THIS JUST IN!

Aug 22, 2010 With one distribution offer firmly in place, the end is finally in sight...so to speak for blind filmmaker, Joe Monks. After a journey spanning nearly 5 years, cast and crew replacements, two hurricanes, four states and a suicide, comic book writer-turned-director Joe Monks’ debut feature, THE BUNKER should be out in 2011.

“I’m blind, says Monks. “I don’t get another chance to make my first film. This one has to count. We’re raising some additional funding to make sure everything’s done right. What’s left is largely cosmetic, so we’ve hired a post house equipped with the AVID system, which I think is going to be a substantial bonus in terms of production value. But that costs money, so we’re going the micro funding route to put that together.”

Monks has up a project on the popular Kickstarter.com website. To view The Bunker project on Kickstarter, and take part in the world’s first feature helmed by a blind director check them out at http://bit.ly/b0iNJh
