'Transgressing' is a story of a hardworking insecure girl from a family fallen into poverty. She is forced to make irreversible sacrifice to save her family, and her dreams of continuing education.

‘Transgressing’ is an important film that highlights certain issues in modern society. This story explores complex themes of morality, poverty, sacrifice, and abuse with a focus on feminism. I believe that ‘Transgressing’ will resonate with audiences and provide topic for discussion and reflection long after the film’s release.

I’m the writer and producer of short film ‘Transgressing’. While researching stories of young people from working class families for this film, I was reminded of my favourite Russian novel ‘Crime and Punishment’ by Dostoevsky. I was surprised that what he was writing about in the 19th Century Russia was happening in modern-day Britain. I am so passionate about telling the story of Sonia; a young girl that has become a Dostoevsky character so relevant to the modern world.
I am thankful to have the support of Dostoevsky’s descendants, Lancaster University, and award-winning actor and singer Jonathan Jackson and I ask you to join them. Without your generous contributions support this film is unlikely to be made.

You probably have some questions. What if we don’t reach our goal? How will we keep the cast and crew COVID-19 safe on set? You can find the answers to many questions in our FAQ. If you have more questions, do not hesitate to contact us.
While making films is so exciting, it can also be a little hectic at times and things don’t always go according to plan. Solving problems that arise, however, is just a part of filmmaking. Our biggest priorities are of course, keeping all members of the cast and crew safe, and creating the best film we’ve made so far. With your help, we can make that possible.
