The making of You Got Ma'amed has been a fantastic journey so far. The film is a humorous take on a women’s psyche after being referred to as “Ma’am.” Calvin and Kate’s night out hits a sour note when she is called the hated four-letter word. Calvin chuckles and shows little empathy to Kate's new label. Arriving home, sparks fly between husband and wife, Kate’s mom, and the pizza delivery girl.

We are in the final stages of post-production and can't wait for audiences to see it.
We are already receiving critical acclaim!
“This screenplay offers … great wit, humor and insight…. Calvin and Kate’s mom feel like fully realized, well-developed characters, and their banter with each other is funny, swiftly-paced and dynamic." - SLAMDANCE
Join us as we take this funny film out into the world and to festivals near you !
All of the proceeds raised by this fundraiser will go toward film festival submission fees and associated costs. We have 30 film festivals on our submission list for now - with fees ranging from $25 (ie Boston Shorts) to $80 (ie Sundance). Submission is not a guarantee - there is a competitive selection process. We are confident in our work and are excited for the process.

We plan on submitting to festivals nationwide plus several internationally. That said ... nearly 40% of the festivals on our submission list are local (NY/NJ/PA), which would make seeing You Got Ma'amed on the big screen extremely doable for our local supporters!
