We are making a really cool and exciting film… and we want you with us.
The Goal
We would loove to find 8 visionary donors, each contributing $7,500. Together, these eight gifts fully underwrite our $60,000 production budget.
But we also know that great films are built by communities. If $7,500 isn’t workable, we still want you in the circle. Every contribution of any size moves this film forward in a real, tangible way.
Your support doesn’t just fund a film. It launches a bold new story into the world… one that challenges, thrills, and lingers long after the credits roll.
