     We're so excited to be starting up round 2 of our fundraising!   We had a great time earlier this year for our first round, having received 50% of our goal.   This time, we're starting up again just in time for WOMEN IN HORROR MONTH!  We have a lot of talented and dedicated women who will be working to make this film amazing and we'll be telling you more about them as this campaign moves forward!


INK is a creature/ body horror film about a woman who's forced to face her darkest fear and obsession and ends up meeting a monster of her own creation.   
A brain child of first time writer and director Ashlea Wessel, INK promises to be an atmospheric and beautiful, yet frightening ride.


We're working with some amazing people to help get the word out and make this bad boy happen.   Check out our cohorts below.

So what do we need $10,000.00 for?  Let us lay it out for you:

Your generous donation will go towards all of the fun and expensive things that it takes to make a film!  Here goes:

  • We need to create our awesome monster! (Though we enjoy Ed Wood for all the laughs he's supplied, we are aiming a little higher).
  • Looking good ain't easy (or cheap) we'll also use your donations for makeup and wardrobe. 
  • We need to build and style a very specific set in studio. . .  Location, location, location!
  • A crew's gotta eat. . . 
  • INSURANCE!
  • We want to make this the most beautiful film we possibly can.  We'll need a  Red Epic Dragon with all the great lenses and accessories, a data capture cart and a high-quality lighting setup in order to bring you something visually stunning.
  • Don't forget the audio.  We'll need funds for some top-notch sound recording as well as soundtrack and audio effects.
  • It takes a lot of horsepower to drag construction materials from one location to another, we need some of your donations for travel expense
  • We want to give a little something to our incredibly talented and generous cast and crew



Well, other than our undying devotion and getting to see an awesome movie at the end that YOU helped make, we also have some really great perks. . .

There are so very few women in the field of horror and in film itself.   We're hoping  to make our female-driven film, original film a reality and help to show the world what women can do.

With Ashlea at the helm, and uniquely talented cast and crew members such as Jen Wright and Mishka Balilty, INK offers a uniquely female perspective in many ways.  


  • Promotion is half the battle when it comes to making a dream like this happen.  Every little bit helps so get on twitter and facebook and (even Google+) and let people know about us.  Our links below are just begging to be visited so go and  share your faces off!
  • We're always open to a helping hand.   Do you have gear, time or skills that you can contribute?  We'd love to hear from you!
  • Making a film is hard.  Do you have a hug for us?  We'll take it gladly. 


Thanks so much for your consideration and your generosity!   Without people like you the arts community of the world would not be as vibrant and innovative as it is today.   Thanks for everything you've done and everything you'll do in the future!
