The Story

Where does your donation go?
Great question! It takes a village...
In order for us to produce the type of film we would like to make, we need your help.
Here's a brief breakdown of where your donation will go:
-
Equipment & Editing - Lighting, Camera Lenses, Sound Equipment, etc.
-
Travel - We will be filming in a charming mid-century house located on the north shore of Long Island. Since most of those involved live in the city, we will need to make travel arrangements for cast and crew as well as all of our equipment.
-
Crew - Director of Photography, Assistant Camera, Gaffer, Make-up Artists, Production Designer....you name it, we need 'em!
-
Catering - Our cast and crew will be staying on location, so we'll need to provide three square meals a day, plus snacks!
-
Film Festival Application Fees - We would like to submit our film into as many film festivals as possible!
