What would you do if you could have prevented a death? 

What if you thought there was a way you could still save her?

 

What is Soul Descends?

 

Soul Descends is a short film about the nature of immortality and how we are remembered after we die. When crime scene reporter, David Chandler, is called to the Empire State Building, he sees Evelyn McHale’s body in what will later be known as “The Most Famous Suicide.” However, this isn’t the first time David has seen Evelyn.

David is a voyeur, watching the characters he creates and seeing if they satiate his conscience's desire for rationality in an irrational world.

Think the silent tour de force of Drive coupled with the surreal emotional odyssey of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

 

Cast & Crew

Katriona Muldoon as Helen Ashton

Katriona Muldoon is a recent Honors graduate of Stanford University, where she studied Classics and Critical Theory. She now lives in Los Angeles and is building a career as a professional writer and actress with a passion for epic, historical, fantasy, and science fiction scripts. She is also a massive World War II junkie and couldn't have been more excited to step into the world of 1940's-era New York City for this project, which Alyssa, Cody, and Andrew are crafting with such intelligence, dedication, and heart.

Cody Autterson - Director

A Denver Native at heart, Cody chased the warmer weather and wound up in Downtown LA. Although he split his studies between business and film while at the University of Southern California, there was a certain passion for filming his younger brothers fighting with butcher knives around the neighborhood that he couldn’t quite shake.

Directing credits include A Day In: Los Angeles, A Day In: San Francisco, Playing With Myself, as well as Siren, a short film that was featured in the Roski Art School’s annual exhibit.

Andrew Schneider - Cinematographer

Andrew is an old soul from Boca Raton, Florida. After beginning to shoot 35mm film few years back, he fell in love creating images. A graduate of the USC School of Cinematic Arts, he’s ready for any challenge that comes his way. He will be working closely with Cody Autterson to make sure that Soul Descends comes to life. A true love for composition and lighting, Andrew hopes to become a successful cinematographer.

Why Indiegogo?

There's an old saying: If you want to be a writer, get a pencil. If you want to be an artist, get a paintbrush. If you want to be a filmmaker, get funding.

Fundraising can be hard. It's always difficult asking your friends for money. However, this a project we are genuinely excited about. We know that with your help, we can create something meaningful. 

Our primary goal is to make something you want to watch. We love film because it provides an escape from reality. An opportunity to shape a universe that didn't exist prior. By donating to Soul Descends, you will be helping us make this dark dream come to life.

 

     

     

    How the Funds Will Be Used

     

     

    Below you will find a pie chart that details the allocation of funds. We know it's tough starting out in the industry, and we want to make sure our cast & crew are compensated appropriately. 

    That being said, Cody, Alyssa, and Andrew are not taking any of the funds raised so that we can give back to the project as much as possible.
