Greetings Horror Fans!
Womp Stomp Films is excited to welcome you to our campaign in order to support our new independent horror short PATHOSIS directed by award-winning filmmaker Austin Bonang.
![]()
Pathosis is a 10-minute short horror film following Sam (Luciana Faulhaber), a young woman plagued by a mental disorder who must struggle between fighting her disease and the troublesome side effects of her medication.
Here is a small "previs" clip of the film created by director, Austin Bonang:
The f@$k is previs?! Previs is short for 'Previsualization,' an animated form of storyboarding that gives filmmakers the ability to pre-plan specific camera moves, staging, and action in a digital environment before going to a LIVE ACTION set. This allows us to eliminate a lot of the usual guesswork on set and lets us focus on executing scenes to the best of our abilities.
For more on Previs, please visit The Third Floor where you can also review some of Austin's previous work.

With your support, our goal is to raise $15,000 in order to produce this short film as a proof of concept for an eventual feature production. Our team at Womp Stomp Films is dedicated to showcasing our talents as filmmakers to provide horror fans with content that will leave them avoiding the shadows of their own homes.
Once funded, we will immediately schedule production during the winter of 2019 with a goal of releasing the film just in time for the festival season.

Production: This is where most of our budget will be allocated to afford things like camera & lighting equipment, practical make-up effects, stunts, permits, insurance, and other fees.
Post Production: After shooting is complete there is still a lot of work to be done before the film is finished. This includes editing the picture, scoring the soundtrack, mixing the sound effects and doing any necessary visual effects and color grading.
Indiegogo Fees: https://support.indiegogo.com/hc/en-us/articles...
Perk Fulfillment: When you contribute won't go away empty handed. We've got some sweet stuff for ya, including a perk that not many others can offer – A previs (animated) version of the film with your very own likeness! Check out the graphic below as well as the sidebar on this page for more details.
