ONTD

It's hard out there for Canadian filmmakers. But thanks to crowd-funding campaigns like Indiegogo, you can help give the green light to budding independent filmmakers. One campaign that deserves some support is I Put a Hit on You, the new film from writers/directors/lovers Dane Clark and Linsey Stewart. I Put a Hit on You is a dark romantic comedy about a woman (Sarah Canning) who posts a hit on her boyfriend (Aaron Ashmore) on Craig’s List, but then has second thoughts. The couple then joins up to stop the killer and confront their troubled relationship. Hit is Clark and Stewart’s first feature together after their successful shorts Long Branch and Margo Lily. (You can watch Margo Lily on the CBC's Canadian Reflections, if you want a test drive.) I stumbled upon Margo Lily at WSFF this year and was wowed by impact the filmmakers made in a mere eight minutes. Margo Lily nabbed my pick as the Best Canadian Short at WSFF, so I can personally vouch that this filmmaking team can deliver on your investment. (And, if not, you can put a hit on me.)

This is happening pretty fast. Aaron was just announced as being cast in this a couple of days ago (I was scavenger hunting at the time oops :X) and principal photography is set to start on Nov. 19. I'm definitely curious about it though and pledged since I want to see it :) Anyway this post is brought to you by Aaron's adorable Halloween costume (he dressed up as his own cat). Enjoy!
