As my attempt to get back in the saddle after recovering from cancer and having to deal with some anxiety issues that halted my singing career, I need your help to make a promotional CD and video for an exciting stage musical, 'CONTRACT!', updating an ancient legend to a modern day mafia thriller set in New York. Featuring 18 great songs in styles including rock (and roll!), jazz, disco, bluegrass and even dixieland, there are ballet, latin ballroom and Irish dance numbers and it's got a cracking storyline too!

I made this video with the time-limited demo of MovieStorm. I can't afford to buy the full program and I also need a faster computer to do a really good job.

I've got a 20 song musical called 'CONTRACT!' on CD that I wish to eventually stage but an animated feature would help to demonstrate the project to producers/performers/sponsors. With your support I can purchase what I need to make each animation look and sound better than the previous one. At present I am singing virtually all the vocals myself which cannot convey the varied characterisation. Your donations (which can be as little as ONE DOLLAR/POUND) would help me to hire other singers to really bring the story alive. Or maybe you are a singer yourself and could contribute a vocal performance. That would be great.

Although further funding beyond this immediate animated project would obviously be required, I have a (perhaps ambitious?) target date for a live performance of the whole show on or around around my next birthday, March 28th 2015. My hope is that many local bands can be involved whenever the show is performed as the songs call for a variety of styles and in this way it can be a community event, like a mini-festival with a plot!

I hope you find this an interesting and entertaining project that is worthy of your pledges.

Thanks,
Chris Davies
