THE PROJECT

On the surface, Hide Your Crazy is a wickedly entertaining monster movie full of humor, horror, and heart.

But underneath, it’s about the shame we all experience, our fears of not being accepted and understood, and our belief that we’re not good enough.

The script for Hide Your Crazy won a bunch of prestigious awards, including:

*Coverfly #1 Short Horror Screenplay

**Winner, Killer Shorts Screenplay Competition 2020

***Top 10 Shorts, Table Read My Screenplay, Austin Film Festival 2021

THE IMPACT

We’re partnering with an amazing non-profit organization called Of Substance, which supports people struggling with addiction, mental illness, and trauma. Their stirring catalog of movies and other resources provides a revolutionary toolset for open discussion and healing: https://www.ofsubstance.org/

As the next Of Substance film, Hide Your Crazy will be distributed as part of their programming and curriculums in education, treatment, training, and more.

That means your donations to the film will be Tax Deductible!

THE OFFER

We’ve got a dream team of creative artists ready to make this movie one for the ages. All we need is the funding to do it right! We’ve calculated that we need a bare minimum of $30,000 to get this film over the finish line. But the more money we raise, the better the finished film will be. Here’s what your contributions will allow us to pay for:

•More special effects shots—we pay by the shot for our visual effects, so a higher budget means more horrifying movie magic!

•More shooting days, more time to get it perfect!

•Music licensing—we’ve got some killer tracks we wanna include, but they ain’t cheap!

•Location rental and set design—production value baby!

•Hire more crew! More hands on deck means smoother sailing for everyone.

•Festival submissions—we want as many people as possible to see this film, and film festivals will help get the word out. But those steep entry fees won’t pay for themselves!
