Our story follows Linda, an up and coming actress who steps into a key role on the hit TV show: SILLY HUMAN. We soon find out the production is run by an artificial intelligence who demands one thing: perfection. If a cast member does not meet this requirement, consequences could prove fatal.*

*and televised for millions at home

Silly Human is the culmination of our years spent in undergrad. As we venture into the industry, this film will have the power to open doors, make connections, and further our craft as filmmakers. Your donation at this juncture in our lives will be invaluable as we begin our careers.

Filmmaking is never cheap but our crew has learned how to pinch every penny for what it’s worth. Your donation is crucial for our film to get us from pre-production to festivals.

The biggest cost of our film will be an authentic, 1950s TV set; this set is incredibly important for the world of our film and the key to creating an immersive experience for our audience. Along with the production design, we need to support our crew by providing food and a healthy work environment.

Other needs such as hiring actors, insurance, and hard drives for post-production all factor into the success of our short film.
