Short Summary

Who Cares About What?   is a dark comedy about the things we choose to prioritize in life and how logical that choice is in the grand scheme of things.  We have made the situation in the film seem very absurd and improbable, but the truth is we see even more absurd things in real life without giving it a second thought.  Hopefully this film will make the viewer reflect on what truly matters.

What We Need

In reality we need more than $3,000 to complete the project and create the outstanding short film we want, but making this goal for now will cover pre-production and production costs. 

Some of these costs include:

• crew 
• equipment 
• craft services 
• location fees
• wardrobe 
• transportation 

The Impact

The purpose of this short film is to make the viewer think about how oblivious we can be to the pain and suffering of others and the consequences of our misplaced priorities.
