A prodigious musician, a juvenile genius, and a ferocious athlete. Life cruises by for Claire, Ellis, and Phoenix Bardot, three sisters with incredible natural talents. That is, until they discover the truth in a dusty pile of papers: the Bardot sisters were genetically modified. BUGS follows them in their journey to come to terms with this discovery.

At its core, BUGS is a clever and intimate portrait of sisterhood, family, and the great things that can happen once you decide that you’re willing to fail. Helmed by award-winning actor and director Chloe Ray Warmoth (Fuller House, West Michigan), BUGS is a passion project we won't give up on.

In April, we began production on our 12 page proof of concept, which you can watch here. We made it to prove that there is more to us than meets the eye: each member of our crew is intensely dedicated to their craft, and we want to show the world we mean business. We are making BUGS into a feature film.

The weeks that follow launch of the proof of concept film are the most critical.
We're harnessing our momentum and great love for this project to take it to the next level, but we need your help. Every dollar you can give is a step towards fulfilling our dream project. We are more than confident in reaching our goal of $15,000, a budget which we've outlined below:

$3,000 for travel expenses: flights, shuttling, moving our crew from location to location.

$3,000 for camera rentals and equipment: camera, lenses, dolly, g&e equipment

$3,000 for post production & music licensing: music rights, sound mixing, visual effects

$2,000 for food/lodging expenses: daily meals, craft service.

$2,000 for production/planning expenses and permits: location locking, permits, emergencies

$1,000 for production design: art department, wardrobe, location design

$1,000 for marketing: website fees, advertising, marketing materials

Even if you can't help us financially, sharing our campaign online would be a huge help. With your financial contribution and our determination, we can bring BUGS to screens, and connect with people around the world through this exciting work of art.
