00:00Hi, I'm Yael Hanel, writer, actor, director for The Ocean's Curse.
00:25Hi, I'm Sarah Morby, actress, producer, and contributing writer on The Ocean's Curse.
00:30The Ocean's Curse is an epic action-adventure film about brother and sister Rick and Jade
00:40who have lost their way and end up running drugs for the cartel.
00:44On what's meant to be their last mission, the package sinks to the bottom of the ocean,
00:48landing on a haunted 17th-century Portuguese galleon.
00:51So now Rick and Jade find themselves battling supernatural forces
00:55in a race against time to break a centuries-old curse.
00:58What makes The Ocean's Curse so unique is that level of quality that you saw in our opening teaser.
01:03That's what we're delivering.
01:05The Ocean's Curse is going to prove that independent film can not only match the scale
01:09and impact of a studio picture, but will surpass it.
01:12We are so committed to the success of this film, and not just for ourselves, but for our kids.
01:20I had my first daughter last year, and it completely changed the reason of why achieving this is so important.
01:29Yeah, they'll do that.
01:30I mean, I've got three daughters myself, very young, and they all have dreams,
01:34and I never want to look in their eyes and tell them, I gave up.
01:40You know, that's giving up on your dreams and not being able to fulfill goals in life
01:46is not the lessons I want to teach my daughters.
01:48It's important that we do this for ourselves and for the other filmmakers looking to us,
01:53but also for these little ones that we have looking up to us.
01:56We're going to show them that you can achieve something that nobody expects of you.
02:01You can achieve greatness.
02:03And, you know, it's not just our families and our kids.
02:06There's generations of filmmakers that are also watching to see how this goes.
02:10You know, when we made our first film, Forbidden Ground, it was a war film.
02:14And everyone said, there's no way you can achieve that quality of film, that level.
02:20It's a war film with no money, with no budget.
02:22And we did it. We did it.
02:24We did it. And it went international.
02:27It was very successful.
02:28Lionsgate picked it up.
02:29It's distributed around the world.
02:31And now we've raised the bar again.
02:34We're going even bigger.
02:37Crazier. Wilder.
02:38Because we're going to show you, everyone, our kids, that we can.
02:44That's right.
02:45And this film will be the pinnacle of independent filmmaking for years to come.
02:51When we say The Ocean's Curse is epic, we mean epic.
02:56We've got planes, helicopters, supernatural storms.
02:59We've got cartels, we've got sharks, we've got shotguns, we've got underwater pirate ghosts.
03:05Oh, no, but we shouldn't tell them everything.
03:08Okay, you're going to have to wait to find out.
03:10But it is big.
03:12It is bold.
03:13And it is ambitious.
03:14We plan to redefine how independent cinema is made.
03:18So come join us for the ride.
03:20Our chemistry, our vision, our grit, it's all there.
03:23But we need you to bring it to life.
03:26With your support, we can close the gap in our budget and get this made faster and better.
03:30Join us, back The Ocean's Curse, and together we'll show the world that indie film can shine as bright as any blockbuster.
03:38And to all the dreamers out there, we'll show you that with a bit of heart, a bit of hustle, you can achieve something truly epic.
