Hey everyone, I’m Justin Contreras, a filmmaker with a passion for raw, darkly comedic stories. From Another is a short film about two reluctant quasi-brothers, Tyler and Isaac, whose rivalry comes to a head at their older brother’s chaotic graduation party. It’s a story about fragile masculinity, sibling relationships, identity and what it really means to be a brother.

This is a deeply personal project for me, and with your help, we can bring it to life with stunning visuals, heartfelt performances, and a nostalgic yet fresh cinematic style.

We’re raising $850  to cover:

The Impact

This film tackles real, raw experiences about brotherhood, identity, and the pressure to be something you’re not. It’s inspired by films like Boy (2010) and Mid90s (2018), and it’s a story that many people—especially young men—can relate to.

By supporting this film, you’re helping us tell a funny, emotional, and visually stunning story that challenges outdated ideas of masculinity while celebrating the bonds that bring us together.

Risks & Challenges

Filmmaking isn’t easy, and our biggest challenges include:

Ensuring the party atmosphere feels natural yet controlled.
