Overview
'Enlightenment Now!' follows Greyson, an overeating cynic, who has his pessimism put to the test when a mysterious phenomenon has people disappearing in a magical POOF! With existence on the line, can he find what it takes to move on before it’s too late?

Enlightenment Now!

Hello! My name is David Hartstone and I'm the writer, director and producer of a new short film that I cannot WAIT to share with the world.

The movie is a rompous exploration into escapism, happiness, and the strings that bind us to our less than savory habits. There's biting humor, dynamic relationships, and a deep dive into the surreal... And with your help, I can put the final touches on this labor of love and make it something truly special.

Where we're at...

Unlike most fundraisers, this is not some wispy promise of a movie 2 or 3 years down the road. This movie is READY. It's been shot. It's been edited. I just need the final boost to take this bad girl to the moon!

I have a crack team of VFX artists, sound designers, and color graders ready to dig in and reach our final form but to get it done right we can't be cheap! With your contribution, I can continue my practice of making sure I compensate every artist who's had a hand in making this movie what it is today and what it will be tomorrow.

The Grand Scheme

Even if we don't reach our full goal, ANY money collected can be incredibly helpful. While our main focus is to make the greatest movie we can, all that would be for naught if we can't get it seen! There are dozens of festivals we would be super lucky to be accepted into, but we'll have dues to pay in more ways than one. Your contribution could be the difference of letting us submit to ONE extra festival that could change our lives forever.

In Conclusion...

I can't tell you what it means to be at this stage of the process. I've put everything I had into this project and I couldn't be more proud. We make movies to reach people, to get a new perspective through a shared experience and ultimately...to grow. I've grown so much since this projects inception and I'll forever be grateful to everyone involved. And regardless of the impact or success of this fundraiser, I am richer now than when I started...no matter how badly my bank account disagrees.

If you can't donate money, a like, share or word of encouragement can mean the world as well! KEEP MAKING ART!
