Hi, I'm Faith Heape, i am the writer and director of this short film, 'Burned by you'!

‘Burned By You’ is a dramatic love affair, during a modern-day witch trial set in the 70s with forbidden romance, betrayal, political unrest, and witch burnings.

On the eve of her execution, in a modern-day witch trial Astra, a convicted woman in a highly publicised trial sentenced to burn at the stake at dawn and Michael, the guard assigned to watch over her for her final night, as the night goes on the tension turns to soften conversations eventually leading to a moment of forbidden romance in the soft moments after truths began to surface only to uncover a devastating betrayal that binds them more intimately as astra questions his knowledge of her case, with hours left before sunrise astra and Michael are forced to confront guilt, complicity and the power between captor and condemned.

This is where I need your help with funding this dream of mine. from location permits, intimacy coordinators, pyrotechnics, catering, props, costumes, and travel costs, our little film needs your support.

From $5 to $1,000, any contribution would be greatly appreciated as these elements are crucial to its creation.

I have been given the opportunity to make this film as an aspiring filmmaker I would be immensely grateful for any donations made towards this film, even the smallest amount goes a long way.

Thank you very much for your time.
