Short Summary

Hi, I’m Erin, an artist and filmmaker passionate about telling raw, unsettling, and visually striking stories. Doll House is an experimental psychological horror that explores the dark side of social conformity—the pressure to pretend everything is fine, even when it’s all falling apart.

This film is for anyone who’s ever felt trapped in a friend group that wasn’t right for them but kept up appearances to avoid conflict. Through eerie, slow-moving cinematography and a hauntingly perfect aesthetic, Doll House will make you question: What happens when the cracks become too big to ignore?

With your support, we can bring this chilling vision to life and make an impact by telling a story that many will resonate with—but few have dared to say out loud.

What We Need & What You Get

We are raising [$5000] to fund:

• Production Costs – Locations, set design, cinematography, and lighting to create the eerie, doll-like world.
• Costume & Art Direction – Avant-garde wardrobe, makeup, and props to enhance the film’s unsettling perfection.
• Post-Production – Editing, sound design, and score to bring the psychological horror elements to life.
• Film Festival Submissions – Helping Doll House reach a wider audience and gain recognition.

Exclusive Perks for Backers:

• Your Name in the Credits – Be part of Doll House forever!
• Early Digital Screening – Watch the film before the public release.
• Cameo or Producer Credit – For high-tier backers, get a special shoutout!

Even if we don’t reach our full goal, every dollar raised will go towards making Doll House the best film possible.

The Impact

This isn’t just a film—it’s a reflection of the quiet horrors of social pressure, hidden emotions, and the weight of pretending. We are a small production company with a big vision: create films that push the boundaries of societal norms through whimsical, outer worldly storytelling.

Your support will help bring this visually haunting, thought-provoking film to life and push the boundaries of indie storytelling.

Risks & Challenges

Like any independent film, we face obstacles such as budget limitations, scheduling conflicts, and post-production costs. However, our team is experienced, resourceful, and passionate about this story.

We are a team of: film graduates, industry professionals actively working on large budget productions.

We have already secured key creative talent and a solid production plan. With your help, we can overcome these hurdles and deliver a high-quality, unforgettable film experience.
