Eden from Ashes is a post apocalyptic story following Sarah, a young woman who recently escaped from a New World government breeding facility, discovered by a small group of survivors.
This small, ragtag group is led by AWOL Lieutenant Colonel Torres . By his side is Rowan West, a strong but naive follower.
On the run from an unknown yet looming threat the group moves on to Eden, a supposed sanctuary for survivors that only LT Torres knows how to reach.
As Sarah tries to assimilate into this foreign reality with the help of West, she is faced with soul changing decisions she must make in order to survive in this, dark new world.

How we got here
Eden from Ashes is a passion project for our team. It started as a simple idea between Christine and Jamie who wanted to showcase themselves to agents and managers. They presented their idea to Chris who is beginning a career as a director, Eden from Ashes was given new life. From what started as a simple scene Chris was able to create a 12 page script that we will be making into a short film. We will also be bringing on a few of our close { and very talented } friends to help.
How you can help
We are seeking $3,800 in order to
complete this project. This will be used to ensure we are putting out the best
finished product. We will be renting cameras, lenses, sound equipment, and
hiring an award winning team of artists.
We are offering some unique perks for those of you who are interested. Some of which include a simple thank you on Social Media to how to be a warrior/survivor training with Jamie and Christine. These are all very fun awards so be sure to check them all out!
Why Indiegogo?
Indiegogo is one of the only ways to make this project happen unless someone on our team wins the lottery { and I don't think anyone on our team plays the lottery }.
We are seeking outside support to make this the best quality film possible. We have the ability and resources to throw something together, but we want to present a professional project to the public. Also, a lot of our team is comprised of industry professionals and we believe they deserve to be paid. We will be dragging them into the wilderness for 3 days to shoot and be camping over night in the elements. We need to make sure we have all the proper equipment and resources to make it happen.
