A Robot Boyfriend: For Science!
I LOVE MY ROBOT BOYFRIEND! is a short comedy film full of ache and glitter and dancing and disillusionment. It's a funny movie, but it's got a whole lotta heart. Shelly is a teen scientist who has read every romance novel and seen every 80's rom-com: she's an expert on romance. So when she builds her very own singing, dancing, John-Hughes-worthy boyfriend out of scrap metal, she thinks she's finally figured out the secret to having the kind of happily ever after that Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks always get in the movies. But while Shelly understands the mechanics of romance, she still has a lot to learn about real love and the human heart.
Why Shelly? Why Harvey? Why Us?
We hope this is a movie for everyone. I LOVE MY ROBOT BOYFRIEND! deals with the strangeness and discomfort of growing up and coming-of-age, with human connection and relationships, with fitting in, with disillusionment, with independence, with communication, with love. We're making this movie because we love movies and we want you to love this movie, too
Help!
This is a movie with a robot boyfriend. This is movie with a big, glitzy musical number where a bunch of dancers wear sparkly outfits. This is a movie with funky green and pink lights. This is a movie with a spontaneous rain storm. We're so excited to make it, but we need a little help.
Your financial contribution will be going toward all the things that can make this movie great: camera and lighting equipment, costumes, props, sets and locations, practical effects for a fire and a rain storm, original music composition, craft services, and hiring professional actors. You can help us make something magic.
Risks & Challenges
Making a movie is hard and sometimes unpredictable work. There's always a chance our production could run into unforeseeable problems with weather, malfunctioning equipment, crew/cast illnesses, or other accidents, but we have a smart, talented, hardworking crew and everyone is dedicated to making this movie the shiniest, silliest, most heartfelt thing we can make for you, no matter what happens! Our crew members are carefully training to deal with on-set safety hazards and equipment problems, plus organizing and planning to avoid any mishaps that are within our realm of control.
You're the Best!
Whatever contribution you're making -- little or big -- we sure appreciate your support and hope you'll share our campaign.
We can't wait for you to see the movie. You're gonna love it.
