Short Summary
The Startup
We’re a team from diverse countries making a short comedy film:
Synopsis
Freddie Morgan started Absolutely Everything Consulting Firm, Ltd. using seed money from his older brother Doug’s bottled water business.
He loves the opportunity to pay beautiful women to spend time with him, even if he has to fire his sales manager Pat to hire one.
The other employee in the company, office manager Sheba, doesn’t mind getting paid to do nothing, but she would jump at the chance for a luckier break, should the opportunity present itself.
The cleaner on duty, Magdalena, might become the unlikely heroine, should she make the right choices.
The Startup: They’re cornering the market.

What We Need & What You Get
Toronto Film School will cover most of the substantial costs associated with the project Cast, Crew and Equipment and insurance. That being said, some expenses will still be necessary relating to logistics, catering, set building and dressing and wardrobe:
- Gas.
- On-budget meals and snacks for 3 days and ~ 20 people.
- Keeping the audience wide-eyed through the use of props, proper sets and a well-dressed and well-groomed cast.
- Locations and permits.
Funds raised below the goal will still be prudentially distributed among these expenditure items.
The Impact
Our basic goal is to make people laugh and feel warm and fuzzy. We want to show that sometimes the best projects are brought to life by the most diverse of collaborators:
- This will be an early step toward full-time employment in film for all of us, and by supporting us you support the notion that you can make what you want of your life as long as you try your hardest.
- We want to shed a humourous light on entrepreneurship in a business environment teeming with all kinds of contenders.
- Donors will benefit from contacts and future, more lucrative, business opportunities.
