Short Summary

Thanks for checking out our campaign! We are all Seniors at Point Park University trying to raise money to produce our thesis film. Every dollar is highly appreciated. 

Here's a look into what our story is about.

Todd is a young kid who spends his days watching The Big Red Telephone with his lovely mother. One day, Todd's mother gets the hosts of the show, Clover, Emmy, and Finn, a group of puppets, to give Todd a call live on the show. With his mother's support, Todd can confidently answer the question, "Where do you want to go?"

Over the years, Todd and his mother grew to be inseparable, but once Todd’s mother passes, he is unsure of what to do next. So, he decides to continue living his life with his mother as if nothing happened. Except now she is just an urn. One night, while they're watching TV, a re-run of The Big Red Telephone appears. Through a freak accident, the show makes its way into Todd's real world, forcing his home into an infinite void. Now trapped, Todd is forced to confront his past, future, and the puppets in a musical fever dream.

If that sounds like something you're into, please consider supporting this project.

 

What We Need 

Our main expenses going into preproduction are building the puppets and building the set for the puppet show, so that is where most of the money raised will go.
