Drummer Michael Travis of The String Cheese Incident and EOTO has been slated to play the lead in a movie titled Fear of Missing Out. The film’s Writer/Director/Composer, Aaron Holstein (of VibeSquaD, Zilla), is seeking $100,000 to make it happen, via crowdsourcing site Indiegogo.
The plot of the film revolves around Gordon Goodman, an older man who leads a simple, lonely life working at a thrift store. Gordon, portrayed by Travis, finds a magical briefcase that transports him to another dimension. “It’s a lo-tech sci-fi dry-comic adventure about finding lost treasures, conquering fears, and becoming your own inner-hero,” explains Holstein.
Holstein is hoping to reach his goal of raising $100,000, which will help cover filming costs including equipment rentals, wardrobe, transportation, and insurance fees.
Backers of the project will receive a bunch of cool perks like exclusive production videos with behind-the-scenes content, signed posters, and even a walk-on role in the movie.
