Stage director and founder of the Cardboard Playhouse Doug Montoya is preparing to expand his creative horizons. He has written his first feature-length screenplay, which will be taken to production this summer in Albuquerque.

The film is called “The Third Act”, and as executive producer Keith Allen West says, it’s a love story for the theater. Roll in a bank heist, a fish-out-of-water love story and the architecture of an ensemble comedy and you have the formula for a wild cinematic ride.

But they need your help.

Currently, production is looking for financial backers who are willing to sign on as a donor, or investor in the film. They have a modest budget of $30,000 they’re aiming for, with the goal to pay all crew and talent.
