Gray State - Official Concept Trailer The Gray State 2012-08-08 | GRAY STATE SYNOPSISThe world reels with the turmoil of war, geological disaster, and economic collapse, while Americans continue to submerge themselves in illusions of safety and immunity. While rights are sold for security, the federal government, swollen with power, begins a systematic takeover of liberty in order to bring about a New World Order.Americans, quarantined to militarized districts, become a population ripe for tyrannical control.Fearmongering, terrorism, police state, martial law, war, arrest, internment, hunger, oppression, violence, resistance -- these are the new terms by which Americans define their existence. Neighbor is turned against neighbor as the value of the dollar plunges to zero, food supplies are depleted, and everyone is a terror suspect. There are arrests. Disappearances. Bio attacks. Public executions of those even suspected of dissent. Even rumors of concentration camps on American soil. This is the backdrop to an unfolding story of resistance. American militias prepare for guerilla warfare. There are mass defections from the military as true Patriots attempt to rally around the Constitution and defend liberty, preparing a national insurgency against federal forces, knowing full well this will be the last time in history the oppressed will be capable of organized resistance. It is a time of transition, of shifting alliance, of mass awakening and mass execution. It is an impending storm, an iron-gray morning that puts into effect decades of over-comfort and complacency, and Americans wake up to an occupied homeland. It is a time of lists -- black list, white list, and those still caught in the middle, those who risk physical death for their free will and those who sell their souls to maintain their idle thoughts and easy comforts. It is in this Gray State that the perpetuation of human freedom will be contested, or crushed.Is it the near future, or is it the present? The Gray State is coming - by consent or conquest.

Dean, Guillermo Jimenez, and Tatiana Moroz give their reactions to the contentious and compelling GRAY STATE concept trailer, and describe how important it is to fund this film grassroots-style and help it get made to the scale it deserves. GRAY STATE is a film that needs your help to get funded. Unlike other films which are simply picked up by studios, Gray State is of such contentious nature that parallels reality that studios are likely to buy it up simply to put it on a shelf. The drive and passion of the filmmakers compel them to try to finish the film by any means possible - and it's up to you to help out, if this is a message you care about.To learn more about the film: http://www.graystatemovie.comTo contribute to the film and get cool stuff, http://www.indiegogo.com/graystatemovie.Original music used in this video composed by Jonathan Merkel.

The Plan of Attack - Marketing GRAY STATE The Gray State 2012-08-08 | UPDATE: we reached our initial financial goals. View the results at: http://www.indiegogo.com/graystatemovie.This film is an extremely ambitious independent project being shot in the Twin Cities, Minnesota. Following the many models of success film has for projects made outside of the Hollywood system, Gray State is seeking the funding it needs before plunging into production. Gray State was conceived in November of 2010 by David Crowley and Danny Mason. The scale and nature of the material indicated that not only did they have an obligation to craft a human story out of the morass, but they had an obligation to tell it properly, far from the typical financial hangups that have become the convention for independent film. They began the process by first developing the narrative through months of slow revisions, and then in the summer of 2011, forged ahead with shooting a concept trailer. Many films that have particular visuals or unique plotlines first invest in concept material that can be used as a tool to gather funding from interested parties. Gray State is no different. What WAS different was the unanticipated explosion of interest Gray State gathered from the local film community who participated in the shoot. This buzz spawned throughout the area via word of mouth, steam-rolling into an unprecedented movement of interest that has already reached national attention in some circuits, and this was before the concept trailer was even released. The filmmakers have barely been able to control the hype, and now, over a year since the shoot, they are finally ready to release the trailer and begin the national campaign to gather the funding they need to push this extremely popular concept into a brilliant and commercially viable feature film. http://www.GRAYSTATEMOVIE.comhttp://www.facebook.com/GrayStateMovie

GRAY STATE Pre-Teaser - The End Begins 07AUG2012 The Gray State 2012-07-10 | The date has been set. The GRAY STATE project will debut and begin its funding effort starting August 7th of this year. The trailer and supporting documentary materials will be systematically made public in a massive online distribution campaign that will secure interest and financing.GRAY STATE has been a film effort already nearly two years in the making - requiring intense work to develop a solid concept, shooting script, visual aesthetic, and comprehensive concept package to attract the funding needed to create a full-length feature film of Hollywood quality, but with content the likes of which has never been seen in theaters before. This is a film for anyone who has something to lose, and for everyone who has enjoyed American freedom and has yet to understand the attack it is under. The gloves come off August 7th. GRAY STATE is a vision of a dystopian near-future in which abusive government has delivered the coup de grâce to the American life you have known. The last vestiges of the Bill of Rights, the Constitution, and the laws that protect you from tyranny have been shredded in a public display of authoritarian power that you enabled through generations of inaction, complacency, and apathy.Now federalized National Guard patrol the streets while TSA thugs move checkpoints to highways. Militarized police forces funnel your tax dollars into military-grade armored vehicles, surveillance equipment, and weapons for the sole reason of suppressing dissent. Under police state lockdown - under martial law - the Gray State rules. And now the battle turns to the homeland - where American citizens become the targets.GRAY STATE is the reality that can no longer be ignored. It is coming - by consent or conquest.
Gray State: The Rise - Unofficial Trailer (Ron Paul 2012 or Gray State 2013) The Gray State 2012-05-19 | NOTE: We reached our crowdfunding campaign goals, so disregard the links at the end of the video.Gray State: The Rise is the dystopian consequence of generations of American complacency. As we enjoyed our standard of living, globalist powers laid plans spanning decades to slowly erode our constitutional rights and civil liberties to the point where we mindlessly support invasive foreign wars for profit while tolerating being groped for security. The Gray State is not coming... it's here.If you've been following the Gray State effort, you know that it is a simultaneous exposé on the dissolution of our bill of rights at the hands of a tyrannical government AND a narrative feature film. Even though the effort has been going on two years, it is still in its infancy as it gather steam to plow ahead into big-budget production. So if this is something you care about, please contribute to the cause, as we're going to be taking the opportunity to initiate grassroots marketing, spread the word to the thousands of liberty-minded people at the RNC, go on radio shows, and approach potential investors. This is a HUGE move for the Gray State effort, so if it's a message you care about, please help us out.Subscribe to the Gray State YouTube Channel and get the latest updates as the Gray State doc effort AND the feature film effort continue.www.facebook.com/graystatetherisehttp://www.graystatemovie.com@graystatemovie@therisefilm
