My name is Stephen Musumeci, I'm a filmmaker from Tampa, FL and a lifelong Gators fan.

Right now I’m working on a film called, THE BIG GAME. The film follows an obsessed Gators fan who is tested when his wife tragically passes away on the day of their big watch party. As it’s the Florida/Florida State game - will he miss the game and call 911, or will he watch the game, host the party and keep her hidden until the game is over?

I’ve partnered with Sundance winning filmmaker, Jim Cummings, who will produce and act in the film. We are currently fundraising through the crowd-equity platform, WeFunder. It’s different from Kickstarter as it offers percentage shares of the film instead of purely a donation. We’ve just crossed the $50k mark and are looking for more investors.

Check out out campaign here: https://wefunder.com/thebiggame

It would mean a lot to have Gator Nation join our team. If you have any questions or need any more information, please email me at [email protected].

Sounds like another Ox hobby trying to squeeze the board for donations.

@GatorStephen it sounds like a great project, indeed. I don’t know if your cast is already set, but I’d be willing to offer my acting skills, to add authenticity if you will. Here’s a recent photo…

Now, if there was only another Chatter member to cast as my sidekick I think we’d have something worthwhile to add.

Given our play over the past decade, the smart move would be to join his wife.

The premise of the movie would have fit perfectly in the 90s. Now?

We have a couple here that would be great extras during the Nole scenes.

In your script, do we win the game?

It matters as to the outcome of my philanthropic nature.

Given the plot of the story as you lay it out, then the film should last less than 60 seconds. But good luck to you.
