Overview
My name's Conlan Kisilewicz and I'm making a short film with my talented friends! If helping young artists share their voice or being personally involved in the film making process interests you then check us out! We'd love your help!

Hello

I’m a young actor. This is my life. I love my art immensely, as we all do, and I think it’s a real blessing to know what you love. The issue a lot of actors are having however, is that we have to wait for someone else’s permission to do what we love. That’s why me and a group of other young artists are coming together to tell our story on our own terms. And we need your help!

Our Story

Thicker than Water is a short dramatic film about  a young troublemaker whose first night back from a correctional facility takes a turn for the worst. A troubled boy from a broken family has to choose to take responsibility for his friend’s action after a tragedy at the docks, or let him flounder.

The story was born out of personal experience and the need convey a message to people who struggle with the right peers and decision making. In hope to shed light on how important it is to make the right decision.

What drove me to tell this story specifically, is twofold:

How having a lot of time on your hands can lead to  very unhealthy habits.

A drive to tell a unique story that explores the weight of decision making without repercussion.

Our hope

We want to connect with audiences through this honest, at times daring story. We know it will reach people. We just need to bring it to life.

 

And that's where you come in. Every contribution, big or small, helps us immensely. We've also got some cool perks (private screenings in LA! Behind the scenes video message! a day on set to hang with the cast and crew! Personalized thank you’s and the chance to have a producer credit .) So please check 'em out on the right-hand side.

Our objective

We want to tell an honest story, one that will speak to audiences who love someone who has a
tendency to skew towards trouble.

The most important thing a story does is connect people and we know this movie will do that. That's the most exciting part.

Your support

We believe that stories hold power. With your help, this one can come to life.

If you don't have the means to contribute, there are other ways to help us out!

You can share our page on your social media, or let others know about our campaign. We're also offering some nice perks, so please check them out on the right.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this! We can't wait to show you our finished film.
