Friends! Romans! Horror fans! Give us your funds!
If we haven't been introduced, Hello-I'm Sarah Lee! I'm an LA based actor/writer/director/artist/creative/ horror fanatic. I identify as a Carrie sun, Midsommar moon, and Suspiria rising. I am a founding member of Allen Meredith Studios, a film making co-op that aims to subvert the traditional perfectionist bullshit and make our art now.
The Itch is my third short, and the most personal yet. Without giving away too much, The Itch promises to be a fever dream that combines horror, golden age musical theatre, and film noir to explore feminist themes like femininity as performance and our obsession with youth.
What We Need & What You Get
So the truth- making films is expensive (shocker). I am extremely fortunate to have a community of artists who have agreed to contribute their talents, cutting the cost down significantly, but we are still have quite a way to go until we are in the green.
With your help, we are looking to raise $1,600.00. I know, I know-why do we deserve a month's worth of rent? BECAUSE ART! Don't you want to sip your evening cocktail, knowing that you are a PATRON TO THE ARTS?! There is nothing classier than that.
BUT, if the GLORY OF ART needs an add on package, look no further!
What better way to KNOW you are connoisseur of art than to BECOME THE ART! All paintings will be done by yours truly as a personal way to say, Thank you for making my dreams come true!
THE BUDGET:
Theatrical Rental Space- $700.00
Costumes- $300.00
Props- $150.00
Food for Cast and Crew- $250.00
Musical Arrangements- $50.00
Wiggle Room- $50.00
Indie Gogo Fees- $100.00
*If we are able to meet our goal before the deadline, we will extend the goal to $2,000, in order to have a small budget of $400.00 for festival submissions. *
I have no money!
We get it! If you don't have the means to contribute- no sweat! Please share our campaign with your friends and follow us on instagram @theitch_shortfilm to show your support!
