Follow on Facebook Follow on Twitter Forward to a Friend Corn Bred Films is a Chicago-based Motion Picture Production Company committed to discovering, developing and producing films originated by artists living in the Midwestern United States. CORN BRED & SOKAP WALK THE DEVIL'S PROMENADE Corn Bred Films has partnered with Sokap — a pioneering new social utility that helps raise funds for projects in the movie, music, and publishing industries — to discover the truth behind the legend of The Devil’s Promenade, a film that will blend traditional scripting with actor improvisation and tap deeply into traditional American folklore. The film tells the story of “The Devil’s Promenade,” an abandoned Midwestern bridge where legend has it if you cross three times, the devil will appear and grant any wish your heart desires – in return for your soul. When a film crew is sent to uncover the truth behind the legend, they get more than they bargained for. View the teaser trailer >> Through SoKap.com, film supporters become partners in the creative process by purchasing a license for their city or town that entitles them to a percentage of every sale and screening that occurs in their territory. Anderson sees a tremendous opportunity to generate funding for The Devil’s Promenade by leveraging the power of a network specifically created to “draw marketers and influencers to the best creative projects,” in the words of Sokap founder Dave Geertz. "It's great for both filmmakers and fans," says Anderson. "You can choose whatever level of involvement you'd like: you can buy physical goods like DVDs, Blu-Rays, Posters, etc. or you can purchase licenses and become in essence a 'franchisee' for the film you're supporting and make some money."
