"A Change in Tone" - A VFS Short Film about Love & Loss

STORY:

After a traumatic loss, a group of friends must work through their grief together. During the healing journey, one of the group members starts having feelings for the other. He must face the decision to risk the loss of another friendship for something more. A Change in Tone follows the intertwining effects of love and loss.

DIRECTORS STATEMENT:

I wrote this story with a theme that most everyone can identify with and value: take advantage of the time you have with those you hold close. "A Change in Tone" explores how easily a simple saying can take on a different meaning between those who have both enjoyed and suffered much together. Through this story I hope to show how a little expression, can hold a whole new definition.

WHY WE NEED FUNDING:

Creating a short film is an awesome experience, however it is expensive. From renting lights and lenses to feeding cast and crew and even purchasing small items like pens and paper for scripts, the cost to produce a project like this can add up. We hope you'll partner with us to bring this vision to life. As a start-up film production company, we are already coming with some high grade equipment, strong film backgrounds, volunteer crew and partial funding from our own previous works. But to make this ambitious project a reality, we need a little more help. Even $5 can help us toward feeding a volunteer crew member or help toward renting premium lenses to provide that Cinematic look we all love. The funding will go towards feeding the cast and crew, renting the necessary film equipment such as larger lights and higher quality lenses, and production design, so we can provide the best quality film to you, our supporters. We love collaborating with other great artists and dreamers, and we would be especially honored if you would collaborate with us on this breakout project.
