Help 'Birds Dropping' Come to Life

Donation protected

Kalliste Zoe Productions is developing a short dark, comedic film,
Birds Dropping, about two close friends that experience one nightmare of a road trip. As they travel by car to one of their sister’s weddings, they hit a literal “crossroad” but instead of working together, they argue and end up stranded. 

Coral Huerta, the writer, started developing the script a few years ago as she morbidly fantasized about how terrible it would be to get stuck off some highway in the middle of the desert. She took a lot of solo road trips from Los Angeles to Henderson to visit her sister and nephew, so on these journeys she had nothing but time to map out the worst case scenarios: popping a tire, running out of gas, taking a wrong exit or turn? Through this exploration of her imagination, she synthesized a bizarrely dark and funny comedy that we want to share with the world.

With your support and help, we will be able to make this story come to life! We need to cover basic expenses for the equipment, crew, transportation, lodging, props, wardrobe and food. This is a low budget film as we aim to keep expenses around $1,000. We are aiming to shoot everything one weekendat the end of March (26th & 27th). Donations start at $5 and any amount you can contribute makes a huge difference. We have an incredibly talented cast and crew that plans to create an aesthetically beautiful and funny story for all to enjoy!
