Who are We?
We are part of the new wave of the next generations of filmmakers with a passion for telling stories outside of the box! Focusing on quality over quantity and striving to bring forward projects that not only engage the audience but entice you into exploring the psyche of real-life issues from a cinematic lens.
Our current film SPRINKLES is a noir short about a recluse named Claude Perry. Claude Perry is a man who has spiraled out of control, consumed by a conspiracy theory that his local donut shop is secretly trafficking children for the Hollywood & Washington elites. Claude becomes obsessed, his time filled with investigating the shop and trying to reconnect with the family he pushed away. When Claude finds himself at his limit, he decides to take things into his own hands...BOOM.
SPRINKLES is the second short film of the upcoming Production Company, Artist's Web Productions (AWP). Last year we released the horror comedy short KNOCK KNOCK, which has now been internationally and nationally recognized within the film festival circuit and recently just won the Screenings International Bloody Mirror Horror film festival in Tbilisi, Georgia.
Once SPRINKLES is complete, we intend on releasing the final cut of the film into the film festival circuit and gaining recognition on a national and international level!
Funding Goal & Backer Rewards
Our goal for this fundraiser is $7,000 and with your help, we know we can reach our objective and give SPRINKLES the production it deserves!
Why $7,000? Where will the funds go?
Great question! SPRINKLES takes place at a fictional doughnut shop called Sugar & Bean and our proceeds from this fundraiser will go towards our shop location, production design, and ensuring the safety of our cast & crew.
All of the creators on this team are extremely passionate about this film and the story it brings to life. Exploring the condition of the human psyche and what lengths someone would go to in order to try and gain control back into their own life.
Cinema & Storytelling is our passion and we want to get you involved too!

The Film's Impact & Leaving Your Mark
SPRINKLES is the cinematic antidote to the rise of partisan disinformation. It is a searing refutation of the grifting, bigotry, and outright falsehoods that fuel the political discourse in the 2020s. SPRINKLES engages with undemocratic and extremist beliefs and the ways these creeds can corrode and destroy the lives of those who believe in them.
By contributing to the production of SPRINKLES you are taking a stand against the very real threat that disinformation poses to democracy. The self-destructive odyssey undertaken by Claude Perry is a siren; a warning of the dangers of political extremism and a pitch-black satire of political ineptitude taken to lethal conclusions. SPRINKLES teaches us to recognize the warning signs of radicalization and to pay closer attention to the information (or disinformation) we passively consume from the media.
Risks & Challenges
All films are made with risk & challenges, in KNOCK KNOCK we were faced with intense challenges, but we were able to overcome them thanks to the quick thinking of our cast, crew & cinematographer Tyler Crane.
For SPRINKLES, in addition to the sensitivity of the subject matter, we are challenging ourselves by upping the artistic ante with stylish black-and-white cinematography, a nuanced lead performance, and multiple shooting locations.
Regardless of the risk, we always feel that the reward will outweigh any uncertainty and know that SPRINKLES is a story that deserves to be seen and we will do everything in our power to try and achieve that.
As a team, we approach things with an open mindset and ensure that all members of our cast & crew are heard to help prevent any miscommunication. By backing our project, you are joining our team and allowing your voice to be heard within the creative field of entertainment.
