Plot

With an ensemble cast, this film tells interwoven stories from a diverse group of people who are united by one thing: a powerful book published by an unknown mysterious author. When the book's positive message goes viral, a journalist and his editor, a former inmate, a hip-hop mogul, an actor and an undercover cop are inspired to change their lives by facing their own fears.

Cast

Production

While shooting in 2013, funding for the film dried up when one of the investors backed out of production during principal photography. Herzfeld, Stallone and producers Rebekah Chaney and Cassian Elwes started a Kickstarter campaign to raise their goal of $250,000 by September 19.[4][5] Despite reaching the $250,000 goal on Kickstarter, the production team decided to withdraw its Kickstarter campaign and start again with the competing crowdfunding platform Indiegogo, citing its broader and more flexible capabilities.[6] The Indiegogo campaign set a goal for $50,000 starting on September 17 and ended on September 22 with a total of $181,140.[7]

Marketing

On July 7, 2014, the first official trailer for John Herzfeld's Reach Me was released.[8]

Reception

As of February 4, 2015, the film holds a rare 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes,[9] with the consensus "Featuring a bewildering array of talented actors pummeled by disjointed direction and a dull, hackneyed script, Reach Me is so fundamentally misbegotten that its title reads more like a threat."
