Isaac, a promising filmmaker, and his brilliant girlfriend Gia, a medical researcher, retreat to a charming cottage to take a break from their hectic city lives. While the cabin provides a temporary escape from reality, it only delays the inevitable as tensions from their lives back home begin to creep into their winter getaway. Will their final night determine the fate of their relationship?

"Our Little Life" is a visually stunning romantic drama. The film offers an intimate look at the intricacies of modern love, underscoring the significance of communication in relationships and the repercussions of suppressed emotions.

"I love people watching. There's something profoundly special about witnessing the affection between two people deeply in love. Love manifests in many ways, whether it's the sense of security to be your weirdest self, the ease of sharing a comfortable silence, or the mutual respect to have open communication. With "Our Little Life", I hope to explore these subtle, often overlooked, aspects that make a relationship. I chose to focus on communication and the repercussions of suppressed emotions as this is something I have personally struggled with in relationships with partners, friends and family. Writing this story was therapeutic in many ways, and I hope when you watch the film it has a similar impact." - Matthew Matlin, writer, director and storyteller

With 'Our Little Life,' we will produce a film of outstanding quality, both visually and narratively, positioning it as a strong contender in renowned film festivals worldwide. We aspire to share this beautiful, heartfelt story with as many people as possible, believing in its potential to deeply resonate with individuals on a personal level.

Producing this film is a labor of love and excitement on the behalf of the creators. In order to fund production, we will need $18,600. While the creators and crew are volunteering their time to make this vision come to life, there are certain production costs we can’t fund with passion.

This includes gear rentals, accommodations, feeding the crew after long days on set, paying our talented cast, transport to our charming location in the woods, editing, sound design, music licensing, colouring, film festival submission fees, etc.

Filming will take place over 3 days in a remote cottage in the Laurentian Mountains of Quebec. We plan to start filming in a couple of weeks, so time is of the essence when it comes to funding. We are confident that we have the skills and vision to produce a stunning and highly compelling short film within budget, but we need your help! We're ready to go, now all that's left to make our vision a reality is your contribution.

We get it. Giving your hard earned cash away is nice and all, but wouldn't it be fun to get a little something in return? Well don't worry, we've got you covered! Take a look at all the awesome perks that come with funding our film, and try not to freak out...
