$3,000 Post Costs
$500 editorial
$500 color correction

Rewards
We are a bit behind with our rewards as we have been busy with the process of production and post production. Rewards will go out as soon as the film is complete. Thank you for your patience.
With each award level there are different benefits. If you just want to contribute and never hear from us again, that's okay! If you want love letters from the Director. T-shirts. To go behind the scenes, meet the actress via Skype, get constant updates of our progress, that is available. And the most coveted of all, the Producer title. You can be an acting Producer on a film with a title in the credits that will correlate with your IMDb. IMDb is the industry resume. The Director has an IMDb for instance. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm4959180/
If you can't contribute financially, please share the link to the GOFUNDME! We appreciate you so very much.
Directors Statement
I've always wanted to make something at my Grandmother's home. There are these crazy long closets in the bedrooms upstairs full of fur coats and vintage clothes and I used to daydream for hours about the endless possibilities already brought about by my fansination with C.S Lewis. With fantasy. I've had a re-occuring nighttime dream about hidden rooms and tunnels in that home, and I've explored them in my sleep for many years. As a small child, the wallpaper used to keep me company in the bath with it's dancing, umbrella holding characters. That wallpaper is gone now. But well, this is the inspiration for YOU DON'T HAIR. Along with expectation and fear of failure. Fear of death.
As a Director, I think this film does everything I hope to do, within the confines of 10 minutes. Possibly 12 minutes. I'm over the moon thrilled to be working with a talent like, Lily Baldwin. And the whole crew. Such good people.
A friend said to me the other day while on set of a big episodic NBC drama, that she thought it funny all these grown ups were just playing a really expensive game of pretend. It reminded me of the hundreds of hours I spent in my basement as a kid directing my friends in my plays and music videos. Or the many nights I would lay awake and choreograph dances and conceptualize music videos in my head. I still do that. But now it costs like lots of dollars and people make actual real life incomes. They feed their families playing pretend. At least, that's the grown up goal.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support on this project.
