What We Need & What You Get:
WITHOUT YOU is a short film that from the first draft was written and designed to be achievable at a modest budget. With that in mind, the production team is very focused on keeping the budget as low as possible without sacrificing the professional quality of the final product. Our fundraising goal reflects the full budget of the short film from pre-production to our final export. None of the current fundraising team will take a salary from Indiegogo.
