Actor and filmmaker Adrian Țofei - the creator and star of A Night of Horror 2015's "Best Film", the critically-acclaimed BE MY CAT: A FILM FOR ANNE - has just days remaining on the Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign for his next production: The apocalyptic thriller WE PUT THE WORLD TO SLEEP, starring Erisse Peterson and Duru Yücel Țofei.
Directed, produced and written by Tofei, the ambitious movie is about two idealistic women who embark on a mission to save the world from itself by bringing everything to an end. Jay Sorensen and Danha Yunes are attached as associate producers.

Even if the campaign does not reach it's minimum $100,000 goal, Tofei promises: "We'll make the movie no matter what, by finding alternative ways of financing. Your contributions won't be lost! Every extra dollar matters and brings us closer to starting the production!" For authenticity, he plans to direct the film with his method of controlled improvisation, just like he did when making BE MY CAT: A film called "terrifying" by the Austin Chronicle, "the most revolutionary found footage film since The Blair Witch Project" by ANOH, and included in Dread Central's Top 5 Best Horror Movies of 2016 and Audiences Everywhere's Top 50 Best Horror Movies of the 2000s.
Tofei says: "No writer can 100% imagine how an event or discussion evolves in real life, without putting himself in those situations. And also the actors would know in advance what will happen and what they have to say, they won't discover everything during filming, limiting the naturalness. And we don't want just good acting, we want audiences to be blown away by the film's authenticity, to say 'wow, are you sure this is just a movie? it looks so real'. All this makes it very hard for us to do it with a production company. They want scripts. This and the movie's dangerous anti-system concept are the main reasons why we need and ask for people's support."
