Summary

In Bad Faith is a short form dark fantasy drama film written by Charlotte Medina for the San Francisco State University Cinema Department's thesis film class.
It will be shot in mid-November 2015 and edited during the Spring 2016 semester. Part of the film will be shot in the colorful and historical Mission district of San Francisco, with local cast and crew and in local independently-owned businesses and locations.

"Aimee has been practicing witchcraft in order to recover the love of Alex. As she sees nothing is working and he continues to live his life, one day she returns to the spiritual shop where Matilda, her spiritual adviser refuses to continue helping her out. Aimee then needs to come up with a plan to perform an old ritual she has seen in a book, but for this, she needs Alex in person..."

Will Aimee be able to perform the ritual and be able to get what she thinks she wants?

What We Need & What You Get

We need $3,500 US dollars to complete funding which will all go the the making of this film. 

In case we surpass our goal, the rest of the funds will go into bettering the film in post-production, and if there's still enough, to pay for fees to enter to film festivals!

We are offering different perks in exchange for your donation. You can also change the amount. Anything helps!

Risks & Challenges, and other ways you can help

Whether we reach our goal or not, this film has to be made. It is an academic commitment we in the thesis class accept since the moment we decide to submit our portfolios to enroll in the class. Making movies is not free, and we each are already collaborating with our time, some students even working for free, but there are still many fees (such as location and insurances) that cannot be avoided.

If at the moment you can't contribute, please help us spread the word!

Or... If you are by any chance a local restaurant owner, let us know! As you can see a big part of our budget goes to craft services. We will be filming for three days and each day we have to feed about 12 people (breakfast, lunch, snacks).

Thank you so much for your time!
