It’s not that often but every now and then, we see a project that looks interesting and really deserves a look from fellow film-loving fans. This Kickstarter project is one we think you’d love to help back as BLUE BORSALINO looks fascinating and there’s everything right with a new film noir project in this day and age.

Up and coming filmmaker Mark Lobatto is the man behind wanting to bring BLUE BORSALINO to life. It’s described as a neo-noir detective film set in the present day with flashbacks to the 1960s, that’s also written and directed by Lobatto and definitely needs your support to get it going.

Set up as a gripping murder mystery which touches on themes of guilt, forgiveness and redemption, the team have told us that they’ve got a modern touch with a quirky twist on film noir. So, think ‘Mulholland Drive‘ meets ‘Amour‘ and you’ve got a definite idea of stylistics. Here’s some concept art to give you an initial vibe:
