FUNDRAISING: PHASE 1

With your seed investment, we can truly launch this to the next level.

This will be a multi-step process that will involve a large community of support. But we know we can get there. 

For Phase 1, we are raising $100,000 in early 2026. 

This will enable us to hire casting directors, top-level crew members, and work to attach well-known talent. With your help, we will make our way to $100k.

HOW WILL WE SPEND THE FUNDS?

Your contribution will directly support:

-Hiring casting directors and/or additional producing partners to land established talent.

-Paying our sales partners, whose relationships in the industry will help usher this project not only toward production, but into the market once it’s complete.

-Paying 40+ cast and crew members according to industry standards for 4-6 weeks of work.

-Housing and travel for cast and crew who may come from out of the area or out of state. (Even those coming from places like Charlotte will need accommodations.)

-Renting cameras, lighting, sound gear, trailers, and grip/gear trucks.

-Securing locations, props, and set design, and ensuring all proper safety requirements are covered.

-Feeding a team of 40+ during production.

-Covering insurance, legal, and Screen Actors Guild fees.

-Paying for marketing and social media costs, film festival submission and travel fees, and distribution fees.
