Our Story

On June 18th, 2011 we begin shooting our  short film, The Dream Collector: In the sleepy town of Criklewood,  Gunther spends his nights collecting and protecting the dreams of all who sleep there. When a nightmare escapes one evening Gunther, with the help of a young girl, must track down and destroy the nightmare before the citizens dreams are lost forever.

This film is currently in pre- production for a final thesis project before we graduate with an Associates of Applied Science, Film and Media Production from Compass College of Cinematic Arts. It involves extensive Visual Effects and Production Design.


Thank you,

Peace and love,

Liz ( The Producer)

Our Journey

In the intensive one year program at Compass College of Cinematic Arts, we have two years of education thrust upon us in one. During this year we log countless of hours of homework, classroom hours and valuable time on set. We make three major films, a five minute, a ten minute and for our last film a 20 minute short among countless shorts throughout the year.

For the film The Dream Collector, we are given 5 weeks of pre- production: this includes finding crew, writing the script, finding locations, making a set, finding  props and costumes. It is an exciting and challenging time. 

When I entered Compass after three years of trying to pay for it, i had the goal of working hard and becoming a producer during this epic semester. When completed I will be the first to graduate among my siblings, a dream long wished for.


How You May Us Help On Our Quest

Due to the intensive visual effects and production design we need to raise 3,000 dollars. This will cover not only the cost of hiring a visual effects artist  but the building of a set of our heros workshop and a model for a whole town.

With your support you will help make history, and we will thank you by sharing with you here our process of pre-production, production and post.

Compass is a non-profit college and all donations are are tax-deductible. We appreciate greatly any support you may be able to give to help realize our dream of making the best film that we can.

Pre-Production:

We are our writing our fourth draft of the script and will be casting the film next week. We have also had several meetings about visual effects and have began to practice shots that we are altering. Our production design team is busy at work on different concepts, from the set, to wardrobe.




Other Ways You Can Help

Please gather friends, family, and magical beings you may know to spread the word of our desire to make the best film possible. Thank you from the bottom of our  hearts for your care and support.
