Beverly Hills' Robert Love Serves as Producer on Short Film Shooting in Pittsburgh This Spring, Indiegogo Campaign to Fund Film Ends at 11:59 p.m. April 8

Beverly Hills resident Robert Louis Love III is serving as a producer for the psychological thriller “Exposures” shooting this spring on location in Pittsburgh, Pa.

Love is part of a small-but-talented team of film professionals from across the country assembling for the indie short-film project.

“Exposures” is the story of Harper, a former award-winning photojournalist, who has been reduced to blackmailing his neighbors. The lines between fantasy and reality begin to blur when Harper goes too far with his extortion, causing the ghosts of past subjects to come back to haunt him.

An Indiegogo campaign to raise the funds needed to make the film a reality ends at 11:59 p.m. Monday, April 8. Indiegogo is an international crowdfunding platform that enables filmmakers and others to raise funds to finance projects. The campaign can be found at www.indiegogo.com/projects/exposures-short-film.

Love is hoping that, through Indiegogo, the team can raise enough money to support a $10,000 budget that will enable them to rent equipment, create their own special effects and provide other needed components to take this film to festivals around the country.

“Exposures” has a number of incentives for different donation levels, including a walk-on role, executive producer credit, product placement opportunities for businesses, a private screening party and more. Incentives begin at the $5 level.

Love sees “Exposures” as giving him an opportunity to “tell a great and powerful story.” 

Pittsburgh natives Jonathan Gribbin and Jonathan Blackwell wrote the screenplay for “Exposures.”

Love and Jonathan Gribbin have been collaborating since they met while students at The Los Angeles Film School. They gained recognition last year when their short film "Blast Off” was named an official selection of the 2012 Three Rivers Film Festival in Pittsburgh. Love and Gribbin also have a short film, “OnStar for Drunk Drivers,” on the “Funny or Die” website.

Love studied at Albany State University (Ga.), gaining experience in television, film and radio before heading west to The Los Angeles Film School, where he majored in producing and screenwriting.

Love settled in the Los Angeles area after film school. He has worked as executive assistant to the executive vice president of international distribution at Shine America, the company known for such shows as “The Office” and “The Biggest Loser.”

The majority of creative and technical team members are graduates of The Los Angeles Film School in Hollywood.
