A Quick Introduction:
As budding filmmakers working our way into the industry, it's up to us to foster opportunities for content creation! Our team is dedicating time, effort, and experience to Man Made, a satirical short film about the rising popularity of the Alpha Male Gym Bro media permeating our culture...
Making this film means building strong connections with our peers, using our education in a real-world setting, and getting to tell a story we want the world to see! Everyone on this crew is participating in the creation of Man Made simply because they want to-- because they're passionate about the art of film. Help us out and become a part of the process!
Log Line:
A casual gym-goer’s life takes a turn when he befriends an eccentric alpha male podcaster, only to find himself drawn into a culture of toxic ideology that tests his identity and relationship with his girlfriend.

What We Need & What You Get
This is an independent film, meaning funding comes entirely from our efforts and outreach! We aim to raise $1500 to cover our hard costs, such as locations, equipment, permits, and crafty/catering for our crew!
We appreciate contributions of any amount, but we've outlined some special perks for donors of higher amounts, including shout-outs in the credits, a personal thank-you video from the crew, and behind-the-scenes footage!
The Impact
You don't have to be a part of gym culture or follow alpha male podcasters to understand the message of Man Made. We're addressing the trends and popular content that push the cultural divide between men and women, impacting the lives of young adults across the country.
We're creating our film to challenge this cultural movement, keeping it engaging and fun while encouraging people to think and feel something.
