‘Zero Charisma’ Looks Amazing, But It Needs Your Help! Watch The First Trailer!

Since discovering the trailer for Zero Charisma just a few days ago, I honestly couldn’t tell you how many people I’ve shown it to (I may be slightly hyperbolizing here, so let’s just say at least a dozen).

The movie looks like absolute gold, and as wonderful as the final product is sure to be, Zero Charisma also has quite the story behind it. Directors Katie Graham (Cinematographer of Best Worst Movie and The American Scream) and Andrew Matthews (Editor on Best Worst Movie and The American Scream) raised over $25,000 in preproduction over the course of their successful IndieGogo campaign in Spring 2011.

As I mentioned above, the first trailer for the film has just been released. Trust me, you’re going to want to keep your eye out for this one.

Metal-loving gamer geek Scott Weidemeyer lives with his ornery grandmother and works a lousy job at a donut shop. But every Tuesday night, he is the omnipotent Game Master, guiding his role-players through a tabletop journey of fantasy and adventure. However, when neo-nerd hipster Miles joins his game, Scott begins to resent the admiration Miles receives from the other players. To make matters worse, the health of his grandmother begins to falter, and his estranged mother visits town, reminding Scott of a childhood he’d just as soon forget. Caught in a spiral of rage and delusion, Scott is forced to take drastic steps to reclaim his honor, and his identity as the Game Master.

Of course, independent films are costly to make. Zero Charisma is currently in post-production, and Katie, Andrew, and everyone else involved need your help so the finished product can see the light of day. Another IndieGogo campaign is currently underway, with a goal of $30,000 (currently sitting just under $10,000). This campaign will take the film from post production through to distribution, and you can score lots of cool goodies by backing it (including of course, a copy of the finished feature).

You watched (and very likely loved) the trailer above, so why not throw them a few bucks and score yourself a copy! I’m sure they’d be forever grateful (as would I, as I really, really want to see this)!

Zero Charisma is set to premiere at this years SXSW, where Jonathan will be watching, and I’ll be stuck in Canada.
