Overview
I have teamed up with writer & director Liz Tabish to create a story and short film that praises the classic goth-horror films of the 1960's. Since this is a period piece we need some help to raise money for wardrobe, locations, props and crew and invite you to join our efforts in making this project come to life!

About Us

My name is Lindsey Lemke (Story/concept creator, actress, & producer), and I have teamed up with Liz Tabish (Writer/director) to create an homage to classic 1960's goth-horror films. As a film geek and writer, I have always been a fan of this genre and spent hours indulging in my obsession with Vincent Price, Roger Corman, Hammer films, and writings of Edgar Allan Poe as major influences.  My collaborator Liz Tabish and I have bonded over our love of niche' films, specifically of the experimental, psychedelic altered state variety. We decided to combine our influences into a passion project that expresses our appreciation and love for these movies!

About the Film

The short film is called CECILIA. Set in a medieval village it follows the story of a young woman wrongly accused of witchcraft.  Cecilia's psychic visions set the tone of the thrilling and bizarre experience of a classic mind expanding and occult thriller.

What We Need & What You Get

We're excited about making a period piece and we want to make it authentic and high quality for being an independent low budget short film. CECILIA has a cast of 15 actors (currently being cast), will utilize 4 locations over 5 days and requires time-period specific props and wardrobe. We're asking for $4,000 for the following breakdown:

Crew: $1500

Cast: $1000

Craft Services: $400

Location Fees: $500

Props: $150

Wardrobe: $450

Perks

Our favorite perk gets you on set right along with us, where we invite you to be a featured extra in our village scenes! Other perks include personalized thank you videos from the producers, digital downloads of the film, exclusive behind the scenes photos and videos on set, signed posters and producer credit.

Risks & Challenges

We've done most projects on a micro-budget before and know how to create unique work despite budget limitations. However, this piece does have some challenges in that it requires specific wardrobe and architecture to convey the time period adequately. We also have pyrotechnics and some practical effects that require paid professional technicians and makeup artists. 

Other Ways You Can Help
