While "Only The Young Die Good" is a Southside Production, it is being brought together by the same team behind Dank Films' Bad Habits and Burlesque. We were lucky enough to have a chance to view both movies last year (Bad Habits Review - Burlesque Review)and as some of you may or may not remember, Burlesque was one of our favorite movies from last year. It's great to see both Anna Young and Dominic Deacon are moving forward on a noir thriller project as their two previous movies showed a definite influence from that genre and time period so it only seems like a natural progression for the talented filmmaking duo.

They have a fund raising project going through Pozible: Crowdfunding Creativity and have put together some incredible gift packages for those who are willing to donate. We enjoyed their previous work so much that we will definitely be contributing to the project because as there is no doubt that "Only The Young Die Good" will be another excellent film from them. They're more than halfway to their intended goal so lets help them reach it so they can get this movie under way!
