Corey Feldman wants to raise $10 million for a feature film that he promises will expose pedophiles in Hollywood. Unfortunately, the “Stand by Me” star is only about 1.6 percent of the way there.
At the time of this writing, “Corey Feldman’s TRUTH Campaign” on IndieGogo has $161,472 pledged from 3,397 backers. It has two months left to raise more funds. The campaign was set up with a flexible goal, which means Feldman will receive whatever is raised — even if it doesn’t come to $10 million. He should probably start mentally preparing himself for that likelihood.
Feldman is offering his investors some incentives to pitch in: For $100, he’ll give a donor a shoutout on Twitter. For a million bucks, you can be an executive producer on Feldman’s life story, which he foresees as a theatrical release.
Here is Feldman’s plea:
We are asking for friends, fans, family, industry peers, and people from all walks of life who may not know who Corey is or what this story is about, to all help pitch in, at fighting back against the Hollywood system, the best way a man created in the system, knows how to defend himself; by telling his truth through his art. This is much bigger than raising finance for a film, this is about the balance of Good and Evil in very real terms. Ever since Corey announced he was working on a plan to come forward with more information, he has been arrested, had a near death event, and his band quit with no explanation other than saying they were afraid to continue. Corey and I fear for our safety, and we need protection to get this truth out. To do this in the way Corey envisions it will take both time and money. Firstly as a security measure Corey has already written down the names and details of the events and given them to a trusted person of power, in case anything should happen to him or any member of his family before the film is finished. In order to make a true Hollywood Blockbuster these days the studios are spending upwards of $150,000,000 on average. We are asking for less that a tenth of that to make a top level quality film that will be guaranteed as a theatrical release. Even if every twitter follower pitches in $100 we are there. We can protect ourselves with security and a legal team as we fight to tell this story, and pay for the films production, editing, marketing, and distribution. This 1 time fee covers the whole process start to finish, and will pay for our families protection and security, while we go through this very difficult, painful, and scary process. It will also cover initial legal fees. Additionally, Corey believes this revolutionary approach to self financing and self distribution can revolutionize the film industry and take away the power from those who now hold the keys to the world of Entertainment, which allows the power monsters to continue doing the things they have for so long. This can truly be a way to regain control over who has access to children in the industry, while weeding out the criminals who have already caused the damage. This is a call for the world to unite for a most important cause, to preserve the innocence of children. Please do your part TODAY.
