H-TOWN 'the movie', a Sports Drama about Redemption, Community, and Family, Launches Crowdfunding Campaign After a Much Anticipated and Successful Release of Concept Trailer

"H-Town", a movie about an aspiring sports agent who is hungry to get ahead while fighting everyday temptations, is an unprecedented drama that ties together Sports, Urban Culture, and Current Societal Issues



    HOUSTON, TX, April 09, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- "H-Town" the movie is now pushing forward with its crowdfunding campaign after completing a concept trailer that has already caught the eyes of many viewers eagerly anticipation its release. The film, H-Town, emotionally captures the main character's struggle to maintain and survive as Segundo Barrio, also known as second ward in Houston, TX, is once again a major turning point in his life as he has to rely on the support of the old neighborhood to help raise his son after the tragic death of his wife.

H-Town has several components that make the film unique. The characters confront and attempt to overcome the hardships, trials and tribulations that most evacuees endured during life after Katrina. H-Town is narrated through the life of an aspiring sports agent who is forced to return to Houston and start all over again during the ten year anniversary of the tragedy that turned his life upside down. H-Town also combines the chronicled stories of young athletes from New Orleans who lost everything, and persevered against all odds to make it to the professional ranks. "I wrote this story because it was something dear to my heart, but I also wrote it knowing that many people could relate," said Reggie Roux, writer and executive producer of H-Town. "What makes this project so special right now, this year, is the fact that 2015 is the 10-year anniversary of Katrina. What better year to shoot this film and tell an inspired story about people from the gulf region who survived that tragedy and fought to be even better. The picture is even greater than that because the characters also encounter other struggles that come with everyday life and the current ills of society. H-Town will showcase a plot of 'dejà vu like never before' that is breathtaking and one that will captivate a diverse audience."

Once again I want to thank everyone who has gotten behind H-Town 'the movie', and graciously ask that you consider donating to our campaign, and the production of a feature film that will motivate all viewers, including the film community. Our campaign goal is to raise $50,000 before May 22. Rewards for backers include everything from a day on set during production to advertising on the movie's website. "This film is about changing lives and showing the fight in people and the good in people. We worked hard on producing a quality concept trailer that would give our audience an amazing visual of the upcoming feature production and true understanding of the overall theme and meaning behind H-Town. Everything helps! Even $1 takes us one step closer to elevating the groundbreaking production of this film," said Roux.
