H. Jon Benjamin Set To Star In LIMBO – But The Film Needs Your Help!

Aspiring young filmmakers Fangso Liu and Haines Landry struck gold when they landed H. Jon Benjamin (Archer, Bob’s Burgers, Home Movies) to star in their short film, “Limbo,” a dark comedy that tells the story of Jim, an everyman who tries to make sense of his hedonistic afterlife after suffering an untimely death. Now they just need to raise the minimum budget to produce it. This is where you come in.

While there are many film projects on Kickstarter, LIMBO is especially interesting because it’s based on a popular untitled short story written by Adam Spielman in the /r/WritingPrompts section of Reddit (click HERE to check it out). WritingPrompts is a subreddit that is dedicated to inspiring over 270,000 writers to create stories based on suggested prompts. Author Adam Spielman gave his blessing to Liu and Landry to bring his words to life…or in this case, “afterlife.”

Both Liu and Landry are incredibly passionate about this project, launching a Kickstarter campaign (http://kck.st/1oNKeGG), to raise $30K to complete their budget. On the Kickstarter project page, you can view a message from director Liu and producer Landry as well as H. Jon Benjamin himself and consulting producer Dan Mintz (a.k.a. “Tina” Bob’s Burgers). Additionally, the duo have made themselves available on Reddit for questions and answers HERE.

The campaign runs till June 30th and perks range from as low as $5 for a digital copy, to limited rewards such as a personal voicemail from Dan Mintz in the voice of Tina, an IMDB credit, role as an extra or even the position of executive producer! Be sure to check it out!
