The independent horror film ‘Hellsgate’ has launched a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo, inviting horror enthusiasts and supporters of indie cinema to contribute to its production. The film delves into the harrowing journey of Liz, a young woman ensnared by a dangerous cult led by the manipulative Keith.
Directed by Aaron L. Hawkins, ‘Hellsgate’ features a talented ensemble cast, including Jeff Zarinelli, Laura Meadows, Doug Perfido, Otis B. Dreds, and Lydia Manson. In a recent roundtable discussion, these cast members, along with Hawkins, explored the complexities of portraying cult dynamics and the allure of true crime narratives.
The Indiegogo campaign offers various perks for contributors, such as digital copies of the film, with contributions starting at $15 USD. One notable perk allows supporters to house the cast and crew during production, emphasizing the filmmakers’ commitment to community involvement.
As of now, the campaign has raised $5,903, reflecting a growing interest in the project. The filmmakers are dedicated to delivering a chilling cinematic experience and are reaching out to the community for support to bring their vision to life.
