Another Excellent Review of Stay!

Another Excellent Review of Stay!

We started the Makuake crowdfunding campaign both to get badly needed funds and to promote the movie. The promotion side as been mixed, but we are finally getting some results such as this great review by Laura from Dominican Republic on Twitter!


So... I finally watched Stay, starring Shogen and Ana Tanaka and directed by Darryl Wharton Rigby. I have a lot to say about this movie and a tweet won't be enough, so here's a thread of why you must watch Stay as soon as it's out & why you should donate to the cause.


The movie is simply beautiful from the way it was recorded to the actual content. It's about a recovering addict in a country that isn't really generous about giving people second chances... And at a point where he could have lost all hope, he met a girl named Hope.


This girl showed up to turn his world upside down! The movie is a beautifully complicated love story and deals with a lot of deep topics that you don't usually see in a lot of movies! But it's 100% worth the watch!


I have seen a couple of movies that Shogen acted on before... But this one completely blew me up! His acting was out of this world! I honestly wish this amazingly talented actor would be more recognized. His character Ryuu stole my heart!


Hope was played by Ana Tanaka. This was her first big acting project and she KILLED IT! She's extremely talented as well and I definitely expect to see more of her in the near future. ??


The director of the movie was Darryl Wharton Rigby. I honestly had never watched anything directed by him before, but after seeing Stay, I can say he's a wonderful director. There was not a single thing I didn't love about this movie. It was a complete masterpiece!


Now as you probably know... Making a movie is not cheap work. There are a lot of things that need to be taken care of before you can actually WATCH a movie on sites like Netflix and such, and because of that, there's currently a fundraising going on for Stay.


If it's possible for you, please PLEASE donate something! I promise you it'll be worth it. The movie is honestly amazing and you will not regret it after you watch it! Besides, you can get some real nice rewards by donating! Read more about that here:

Thankfully the campaign reached its goal, but you can still donate through paypal! If you wish to do so, please message Darryl Wharton Rigby or Stay about it and you'll get instructions. Please consider donating something! You'd be contributing to the success of a great movie!


Finally, I just want to say that Stay was 100% worth the wait. This movie has now become my favorite movie, and I'm extremely happy that I was given the opportunity to contribute a little.?? I hope more people feel motivated to donate. Thanks for reading :)
