Alice Is Fine Short Film Fundraiser
Donazione protetta
Alice has been living with debilitating pain, she doesn’t know the cause, and she can’t seem to find a doctor who will take her seriously…
Alice Is Fine is a film about one woman’s struggle to be heard as she grapples with gender bias in healthcare, and the deep frustration that comes from seeking help within a system predisposed to treat her pain as though it’s all in her head. What happens when we are forced to hold back our rage in an effort to be believed about our symptoms?
This film is incredibly personal to us, as it was born out of our own struggles with our health and the medical system. As we have continued to fight for adequate care for ourselves, we have been incredibly moved, and angered, by the number of people who have stories just like ours. It has been cathartic and healing to channel these feelings into art, and to document these experiences through Alice’s story.
Our goal with this film is for people with invisible pain to know that they are not alone, and to know that they deserve to be heard.
We shot the film in one whirlwind day in July, with the most wonderful team of creatives who came together to bring this story to life. Now that it is filmed, we need your help to complete it and bring it to the big screen so that it can be seen by as many people as possible! Your donation will help us to pay for:
o Editing
o Sound design
o Colour correction
o Film festival submissions
o Recoupment of production costs, ie: fees for cast and crew, film equipment (camera, lenses, lighting etc.), location costs, catering, travel, wardrobe, props, set decoration, and more. Costs thus far have been paid out of pocket by the producing team.
Any donation, no matter the size, is helpful and so appreciated. As a token of our gratitude, we would love to offer all donors a Special Thanks in the final credits of the film. We can’t thank you enough for your support!
