Love, Loss, and the Thin Line Between Reality and Despair.
To My Darling tells the story of Ana, a young woman who is grappling with mental health issues and the haunting presence of her own mind. Her closest friend, Frankie, offers comfort and support, but Ana's tumultuous relationship with her boyfriend, Sam, adds to her emotional struggles. Ana's life takes a hopeful turn with a promotion but descends into chaos when her perception of reality fractures, leading to a devastating confrontation.
The film explores themes of mental health, personal relationships, and the blurred line between reality and imagination, leaving a lasting impact on audiences.
Hello there! I'm thrilled to have you join me on this journey. Picture this: lights, camera, action! But not just any action – it's the action of creating a cinematic masterpiece that's going to take you on a rollercoaster ride through the depths of human emotion.
Now, let me introduce myself. My name is Kayla Edwards and I am currently a senior filmmaking student at Woodbury University. I'm a firm believer in the magic of storytelling, a true aficionado of the arts, and a passionate advocate for the power of film. And guess what? We've got a phenomenal story in the works that's itching to be brought to life on the silver screen.
My senior thesis film "To My Darling" is a passion project of mine that I have worked so hard on and hope to use as a proof of concept for a larger future project such as a Feature Film or a TV Series! With your support, I can get closer to that goal.
I have loved watching films, making films, and working with cameras ever since I can remember (which I believe is since I was 5 years old, using my mom's old camera). I want to use all the filmmaking knowledge I have gained from my four years at Woodbury University to create this mesmerizing story to life. While I know and love all areas of film, I specialize in cinematography and directing and have been a part of many short film projects throughout high school and college.
My budget is $4,500 to help us with location costs, set design, camera equipment, grip and lighting equipment, and catering for cast and crew.
