About Our Film: 

Blade of the Moon Warrior is the story of two young women, Amy and Sam. When they were kids they bonded over a shared love of fantasy novels, even writing their own young adult fantasy epic, Blade of the Moon Warrior - but time and college have led them to grow apart and pursue different paths. Amy is the head of a sorority and Sam is an aspiring filmmaker. But when Amy’s sorority house faces demolition unless she can raise enough money, she and Sam must join forces one last time to bring their epic to the big screen, win the film festival prize money, save the house, and the day. And maybe, just maybe, they’ll learn a little something about themselves along the way. 

This film is being created entirely by young, Texas-based filmmakers sacrificing their free time, blood, sweat, and tears for no pay. However, we still need your help to make it as good as it can be! We are all super passionate about this project and would be forever grateful if you could help make our dream a reality. Join us on the unforgettable adventure that is Blade of the Moon Warrior!

He loves stories with a little bit of everything, some hearty laughs, some good thrills and chills, and a big heaping tablespoon of heart. He is passionate about filling the world with stories of good beating evil and love overcoming hate, because we could all use a little bit more of that these days.

Alex Fleck, Co-Producer

Alex Fleck is a Producer currently studying film at the University of Texas at Austin. He loves stories that feature comedy along with a message, and he enjoys producing because he can bring stories like that to life. He's excited to produce this short film because it has all of that and more.

What Are We Raising Money For?

Donations will go directly towards location costs, equipment rentals, production design, costuming, props, providing meals for our entirely-unpaid cast and volunteer crew members, post-production sound mixing & color-correction, and festival submission fees (which can range from $20-$80 per fest) during our distribution run. 

In order to meet our minimum budget costs we are asking for a goal of $800 from this campaign. If we're able to reach that goal, the maximum we'd like to make it to is $1000.

How Can You Help?

Every single dollar counts, and contributions of any size at all are appreciated! If you're unable to make a donation, please consider taking the time to share our IndieGoGo campaign on socials or with friends and family - the more publicity we can get, the better for our film. 

You can also support us by donating any props, food, or your own volunteered time on our production set - we'll take anything! We're shooting July 24-28th, and can use all the help we can get.
