Overview
THE SULLIVAN GIRL, by humanist playwright Gena Acosta, was the break-out hit of new work from the Actors Studio Playwrights & Directors Unit in 2015. What made it the break out hit beyond the writing, acting and direction was what it had to say about acceptance of an individual life choice that is beyond small-town normalcy. It has only become more important since then and is, therefore, deserving of a larger audience and we’re here to generate support for adapting it into a short film.

INTRODUCING THE WRITER

Gena Acosta, author of The Sullivan Girl has been a professional writer for 25 years, is a produced and published playwright and a current member the Actors Studio Playwright’s Development Unit... and is excited as hell to get this film done!

"Gena has a gift for translating intelligence into entertainment that uses humor to lure an audience into emotion that comes only through recognition. We listen to her characters, knowing that they carry a story that is hidden in what they argue for and how they argue for it. Her characters carry the story without knowing the story." - Peter Flood, director

With your contribution, you are sharing in the realization of a film that illustrates humanity with all it's idiosyncratic complexity and many definitions of love. Your support makes you instrumental to producing this story and that support will be acknowledged. 


Our goal is to raise $10,000.


These funds will provide us with the essential means to:

  • Pay our actors.
  • Hire the most qualified crew possible. 
  • Acquire location permits. 
  •  Acquire all of the quality elements of post production.
  • Enter the film in multiple festivals and promotions.

Whatever you contribute, you will see it on the screen.

Perks:

  • $50 - The Sullivan Girl crew hat 
  • $50 - The Sullivan Girl T-shirt 
  • $100 - BOTH - fancy!
  • $250 - SG hat,  SG t-shirt, exclusive set of 4x6 postcards depicting the magical moments on set along with a digital copy of the film. You know you want it.
  • $500 - all of the above + VIP invitation to the screening and post-screening dinner.
  • $1000 - all of the above + a special “thanks to” screen credit.
  • $5000 - all of the above + your name attached to a character in the film as well as a producing credit.


The professional standing and level of everyone involved in this production will provide the highest artistic standards possible. Whatever challenges crop up - and they will crop up - will be positively handled and resolved ... and we’re not above arm wrestling.


We understand financial limitations however, any means of spreading the good word about THE SULLIVAN GIRL is incredibly valuable and we thank you for BEING LOUD!!
