Testament completes successful Kickstarter campaign

Testament, the new feature in the works from 315 Films, is off and running.

The fledgeling production followed up an incredible early Alabama shoot last month with a successful Kickstarter campaign ending this week, which will ensure the film gets its best chance to become something special.

The campaign, which ran a month and featured constant interview update segments, got a big push from the film's expansive cast and crew to raise more than $15,000 for production and postproduction costs.

"This is a huge boost for the film, and it's a great confidence boost to have that many people believing in our team and what we're committed to creating," said writer-director Tim Ritter.

The film, which stars Demi Castro and Rachel Comeau and follows a bitter former follower forced to keep a fading popular movement a live in a dying world, will start full production in May.
